WHY DO HUMANS BUY?
As a marketing and sales professional this is something I've wondered about over the years..why do we buy? What really triggers our purchasing behavior? What truly creates loyalty with customers? After spending many years studying, applying and using my own technique, I can guarantee one thing with this bold statement:
HUMANS DO NOT BUY ON PRICE. PERIOD
So if we don't buy on price, what DO we buy on?
The answer is VALUE...
However the challenge is people do not understand value, the components of value, the value formula, how to explain value easily and effortlessly so the customer thinks about value and not price....I could go on and on.
I give this talk all over the country and the response is always the same "wow I need this bad. All I do (or my sales force and employees do) is talk price all the time!!"
DON'S WASTE ANY MORE TIME FIGHTING THE PRICE WAR!
CALL ME NOW AT 804-382-9570 OR E-MAIL ME AT street4success@aol.com AND LET'S GET ON YOUR NEXT CONFERENCE, EMPLOYEE MEETING ETC.
Or you can wait and watch your gross margins continue to leak and erode. You can't afford to let that happen!
And here's another great thing about this - it doesn't matter what you sell or what service you provide - THE VALUE FORMULA IS THE SAME!!
I've been in business for over 33 years, with most of that time spent in the sales and marketing role...and of course communication is VITAL in that role.One thing I've noticed over the years is many people REALLY STRUGGLE with communication skills - and it holds them back. It keeps them from getting promotions, from making more money, from getting better results, from selling themselves, their ideas, their products and services effectively. The bottom line is communication skills are perhaps THE most important element to your success.
Ultimately we are always wanting to communicate VALUE - and after all these years I realized that most people in the sales world can't even DEFINE what "value" even is!!
VALUE OF YOURSELF, OF YOUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, IDEAS - COMMUNICATING THEM EFFECTIVELY CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

YOU also were born to SUCCEED, but you must first BELIEVE it, and then TAKE ACTION to make things happen in the smartest, easiest way possible. This is what gave birth to my whole "Street Smart" idea. (I also refer to these skills as "Life Smarts" because they will help you in ALL ASPECTS of your life)
You see, to be successful at anything, whether it is in business, non-profits, or life in general - you don't have to know everything - but you MUST know the MAIN THINGS that can drive success in your business or in your life.
The ability to speak in public is no different. There is a right way and a"not so right" way. There are many different styles and approaches. But at the heart of it all there are several secrets to becoming OUTSTANDING on your feet.

I can help you get there. I am uniquely qualified because I've "been there and done that" thousand of times!

I cover REAL WORLD information that you need to know to succeed, and you can order my e-book just to the left or go to Amazon and type in Steve Patterson's Street Smarts for Success - A Step by Step Guide."
Leadership and Communication skills are at the heart of so many things, and leaders must know how to communicate well whether in front of a crowd or with written communication.
The same holds true for interpersonal skills, the ability to communicate effectively, and the unique ability to speak in front of a crowd, get them on your side, and spur them to take action. This is all about leadership in action.

I've spent YEARS studying why some people and organizations are so successful, and why others fail. And, after spending many years in marketing and helping others grow their businesses, it became very clear to me that, in order to achieve success, there is a FORMULA TO FOLLOW, regardless of how you define success.
So...if you need a speaker who is a seasoned business professional? One that can connect with your audience and leave them with a toolbox full of real world tools to use to perform at higher levels?.
YOUR SEARCH IS OVER.
My presentation on "The Street Smart Formula for Success" is a presentation that your audience won't easily forget. It is packed with stories, lessons learned, and plenty of tools to help people and organizations perform at high levels. Your audience will laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as I go through many of my life's experiences on a personal and business level, and will inspire them to return to their daily jobs with a hunger to perform at higher levels.
You see, what I've discovered over the years is a formula for success that works...regardless of how you define success. And that formula revolves around the word ALIGNMENT - aligning your daily activities with your goals, strategies, tactics, and resources. This is what prompted me to write my book "Steve Patterson's Street Smarts for Success - A Step by Step Guide" and create my DVD series.
What is really fascinating is the fact that once I outline the success formula, people are amazed with how quickly they can realize results! It doesn't matter if it is at a personal level or at a business level, the Street Smart Success formula is the same.
I've created a number of products to help spread the street smart message, but none is better than the live presentation for your next meeting or event. You will be glad to see your students, members of your organization, or employees of your business be motivated and inspired to TAKE ACTION and go MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
As a Vice President of Marketing at a large east coast firm, a published author and Member of the National Speaker's Association - Virginia Chapter, I've given hundreds and hundreds of speeches over the years. I've also created a few "how to" tools (such as the DVD and book to the left) to help people improve their communication skills, both one-on-one as well as to a group - how to be a great public speaker.
I am based in Richmond, Va. Please contact me if you want a speaker that can make a difference in the lives of your audience, and send them away with a formula to success that works, and a toolbox full of tools to make their lives and organizations better.
