Seminars for Community Assistance

Action Workshops
offered through Synergy Solutions, Inc.

We offer a wide range of workshops to help companies and organizations increase their profitability and have fun as a team while improving teamwork. We help you implement systems, processes, and tools so you can accomplish more in less time while increasing the company's profit margins and employees' income level.

By helping participants achieve their dreams and goals in every area of life, employers invest in their most powerful resource--people! By helping participants accomplish more in less time, they will achieve better balance in every area of their lives. This will create higher profitability, improve efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen work ethic, improve values, and increase morale and loyalty.

We will also work with you to develop a custom program to meet your unique needs. Workshops often can be combined to create a succinct training and assistance program that focuses on learning and application.

Our workshops and training are uniquely designed because we understand that the most important part of the seminar is the application of what has been taught--the "follow-through." Following our workshops, we encourage the management team to work with Synergy to maximize the follow-through efforts of workshop attendees. We recommend fewer workshops during the year than many consulting firms and encourage more follow-through on what is learned in the workshops. A company will increase results if they cut the number of workshops in half and double their effort to follow through with principles their employees learn. We offer a recommended follow-through program or, if the company wishes, we can assist with follow-through for the company. Either way, you can be assured that principles lead to follow-through and follow-through to consistency.

We also offer a certification program so individuals within a company can implement our systems. Our company will be there as often as necessary to serve your best interests, maximizing your profitability.

These workshops can be offered to your vendors, key accounts, potential clients, and new or current employees. Workshops can be as short as thirty minutes or can last as long as five days. Most companies utilize a two-hour, four-hour, or full-day format.

Business/ Life Planning AW-a01
It is often said that people invest more time into planning their vacations than they do in planning their lives. Having a written plan is a great concept, but it is very hard to implement. This workshop will provide individuals with the insight, direction, and tools to create a written life or business plan. By having a written plan, participants will accomplish more in less time, understand what they need to do to be successful within a company, and achieve better balance in every area of their lives.

Keeping Life Balanced AW-b01
"Why do I have to work so many hours? Why am I not feeling fulfilled in my life?" People talk about a balanced life, but very few individuals understand what a balanced life is and how to maintain it. By using some very powerful personal analysis tools prior to taking this seminar, the participants will learn more about themselves and what they need to do every day to maintain a balanced life.

Building Winning Teams AW-c01
People are the most frequently untapped resource within a company. As a whole, what percentage of its potential does your team realize? Many executives will say that they have a "gut feeling" that their team reaches between 35% and 70% of its potential. Understanding how to build a winning team is an important step in recognizing your team's potential, and we'll identify how team members can contribute to the team more effectively.

12 Principles To Life Masteries AW-b02
Companies will say they are looking for individuals who have strong values, a hard work ethic, and loyalty, but how much of an investment are companies making in building those characteristics in current employees? This Action Seminar will help individual team members see how important they are to the team and why their attitudes are so important to its overall health. This seminar will definitely help individuals improve their work performance. The information included in the session(s) guide participants to establish a new attitude and a fresh outlook that will help them in every area of their lives.

Coaching Individuals To Success AW-c01
Everyone likes to encourage others, and everyone likes to be encouraged. This session will provide individuals with valuable insight on how to coach people to success by helping individuals more fully understand what motivates them, their fellow team members, and their customers. It also will provide personal insight into how an individual likes to be coached. Many individuals have never experienced the benefit of self-coaching and don't know how to motivate themselves most effectively.

Values-Based Work AW-c02
What are your company's values? What values do you want each team member to have? This session can be a simple, short session that will help people get started in the right direction, or it can be something a company implements on a monthly or quarterly basis. By understanding what the company values and what those within a company value, the team can work together more effectively to accomplish the company's goals.

Time Management That Works AW-a02
This session is recommended for use in conjunction with the business/ life planning session or one of the personality sessions. Time management is often viewed with a "one size fits all" mentality; however, our research has found that there are four major types of time management tools that work for different reasons for different people. The key to the success of this time management session is finding the proper time management profile for each individual. The Efficiency X-Ray is a very powerful tool that helps individuals prepare for this session and follow through with their endeavors.

Turnkey Systems

Lead Follow-Up TK-c01
The average cost to generate a lead is $260. With proper systems, the average cost to follow up on that lead is around 59¢ per month. Most companies invest far too much money in developing leads and little to no money in developing a lead follow-up system. This workshop will help those in management and sales understand the importance of implementing a lead follow-up system and how to set it up, and we'll introduce systems that do the work for companies and individuals.

Lead Generating TK-c02
Does your business have sales cycles that look like a roller coaster on a graph? This session will focus on the natural laws that cause the ups and downs and what systems need to be implemented to prevent this effect from recurring. We answer the questions, "Can I generate additional leads from my past client base?" and "Can I generate additional leads from my referral sources, prospects, and even leads that I lost to the competition?" This workshop will show you how to take advantage of powerful systems to achieve your full potential.

Professional Referral Sources TK-a01
How valuable is a professional referral source? An A referral source can refer at least four transactions to you each month, which can translate into $2,000 to $6,000 a month per referral source. If every A professional referral source is worth between $24,000 and $72,000 a year, can you afford not to have a system in place to contact them? This system can help you select referral sources to pursue, introduce yourself to potential referral sources, bring added value to their business, and help them increase their income and decrease the number of hours they work every week.

The Management, Business, and Efficiency X-Rays all complement this session in a powerful new way. If they use these tools, individuals will walk away from this workshop understanding the importance of developing their professional referral sources, what they say to them, and how they say it. They can then leverage monthly added value services with A referral sources.

Relationship Marketing TK-301
Most marketing is designed to sell a product or service. Why do your clients do business with you? Is it because of a product or service? Probably not. It's probably because they have a relationship with you and trust you. This workshop will help participants see the importance of using marketing to develop relationships with clients and prospects.

This workshop, used in conjunction with a turnkey relationship marketing system, will provide a twelve-month plan with specific actions and materials.

Database Marketing TK-302
By having a turnkey relationship marketing system in place with a twelve-month written plan, a company or individual should get an average of 13% of their database to purchase from them annually. Some companies and industries will achieve a much higher rate of return. If an individual had 1,000 entries in his database, a 60% sales closing ratio, and a $1,100 return for each transaction, those factors would translate into $85,800 per year. If a company had 10 sales representatives at that level, their work would produce an additional $858,000 per year. This workshop will help successful individuals understand how to set up a turnkey database marketing system that will help them grow their business even when they are not working at it.

Hiring/People Development TK-e01
How do you select the best employees and retain them? By understanding how important strong values, a good work ethic, and loyalty are to a team, leaders can become more proficient at selecting the right employees. Many companies strive to hire talented individuals when in most situations they should hire individuals with great values and then help them become great in their positions.

If a company decides to use the Achievement Plus Profile along with one of the X-Rays, leadership will be trained to implement and develop turnkey hiring and retaining systems and tools. Having the right people in place before a job vacancy arises helps the transition, and this session addresses the creation of a solid prospective employee database.

Working Fewer Hours By Implementing Sales Systems TK-f01
Are you earning your full potential? Does your income properly reflect how hard you work? Probably not, if you're like many other sales professionals. Most great sales representatives are undisciplined at putting systems in place to do their work for them. This exciting workshop will help you understand how to implement powerful sales and marketing systems that will help your business grow even when you're not working.
