Seminars and Events

Selling and Sales Strategies is one profession that is almost guaranteed to evoke an emotional response when you ask someone their opinion of it (including many who would call themselves Salespeople). The variety of subjects that can be covered when presenting about 'Sales' is almost endless.

ILP - Institute for Learning Practitioners ilp_logo_space.png

We are proud members of the ILP and especially proud of our Managing Director Craig Leaney who has recently been nominated and confirmed as a Fellow of the ILP. This professional body is enhancing the performance and credibility of our industry and encompasses much of what we believed had been missing up until recently!

Featured in the Business Acumen Queensland 2010 Yearbook

acumen2010yearbook.pngWe were proud to be featured in the Acumen Yearbook and recognised for the results we have been achieving in the professional services arena.The recognition that professional services firms need to increase their investment in professional sales training is greatly appreciated and long overdue!

We were interviewed for the article based upon feedback that Acumen Management received from Mortgage Choice and several of our other larger clients. Acumen also wanted to acknowledge the contribution we have made to their Connect! events with our Managing Director Craig Leaney being the keynote speaker that has helped them generate significant increases in their client referrals.

We believe that the most important part of presenting to any audience is to capture their attention and then to make a positive change to them in some way. A new perspective, a new behavior, it may only be a small change, but in our personal lives (and virtually all business relationships) the little things are often what matters most. Craig has often said that "one small change to someone's activity, competancy or desire can reap massive rewards!"

MC Roles

Where your business needs to have an entertaining and credible presentation and or MC with a definite Sales slant, Craig is the right person for the job! 

The University of Life

Craig presents practical, informative and entertaining information that involves, inspires and motivates people to take action straight away toward their personal and professional success.

    * Great Mentors Make All the Difference. The usual teaching and training methods that were deployed when most of Australia's current Business owners were in school, were simply not effective or efficient. Craig is extremely aware of the difference that a good mentor can make.
    * Over Two Decades of Experience. Twenty years of real life field sales and sales management experience has provided the education that ensures the message is practical, engaging and creates action for each participant.

Personality Compass Type Instrument (PCTI)

the_personality_compass_certified_concultant_logo.jpgInsight into one’s own nature and that of others is arguably the most important requirement for creating successful and productive relationships in the workplace. It is fundamental to leading, mentoring, coaching, teamwork, problem solving and other essential skills, and therefore the foundation of engagement and high-performance.

There are many personality-type instruments and models on the market today. What distinguishes the PCTI from these is its ease of application and effectiveness. Organisations around the world are saying that the PCTI is the simplest, most practical and most helpful personality diagnostic instrument they have used. They say the type classification is easy to learn, easy to remember, and easy to apply.

As one of the limited number of Certified PCTI Consultants in Australia, we are pleased to be able to assist business with this amazingly simple but effective tool. PCTI is relatively new to Australia but is experiencing international acclaim from the corporations that have used it for years! To and to find out more about the PCTI click on this link.

futurebuzz_logo.jpg“Craig is a brilliant speaker and communicator. There's plenty of 'experts' out there, promising the world but delivering little. In just one evening, Craig facilitated countless strategic alliances, taught his audience several valuable lessons and managed to make the event fun and entertaining. For me, this was one of the best networking and professional development events I'd attended in a long time and I immediately recommended his services - as a speaker and trainer - to several other organisations I'm involved in. Hooray for Craig!”

"I've been involved in a variety of businesses over the last 20 years, and I have found the key factor to success is being involved with the right kind of people. The kind of people that you can trust and invite into your
business and personal lives. With Craig, I found that to be a very rewarding experience on both a business level and a personal level."

"Congratulations on a brilliant session yesterday. The overwhelming opinion today has been that it was an excellent day and they all left with lots of food for thought on how they will handle situations this year armed with your input... It wasn't designed as motivational session as they wear off after a few days, it was more an inward reflection on their skills and everyone has commented on the fantastic content and your presentation skills. I look forward to doing further sessions in the near future."
Stephen Harley
Queensland Sales & Marketing Manager

"I’d like to thank you for the effort you put into the presentation to our team on Tuesday night. It was refreshing and certainly made us all think about not only our roles in the business team but also how we conduct ourselves in everyday life. I have spoken to a large percentage of the 35 team members that attended and the verdict is unanimous – it was a big hit. I speak for all when I say that I look forward to working on our sales strategies over the coming months. I’m sure that it will reap some great rewards".
