For those agents who joined us in yesterdays webinar, thank you! The feedback knocked me over. The number of emails and other “thank you’s” was more than I imagined – imageeven with my overly active imagination. Which gets me to PHASE II of How To Recession Proof Your Agency – getting your ENTIRE TEAM to 1) share YOUR sense of urgency, 2) focus on IMPORTANT and High Leverage Activities only and 3) kick start your agency to the next level of productivity and profit.

I shared the skeleton of a critical strategy for accelerating growth that will completely overhaul the energy, drive and focus in your agency called The 30 Day Sprint. A 30 Day Sprint is a compressed full-out race designed to put EVERYONE in your agency on FULL ALERT and in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode - “training” everyone in the process on what’s most important to the complete, unfettered success of the agency. NOTHING I’ve ever seen creates the critical conversation on what matters most, how to achieve and how EVERYONE contributes in a MEASURABLE fashion like this strategy.

At the request of several Marketing Rebels, I posted a slide from yesterday’s show. (You should be able to click on the picture to make it bigger.) IF YOU WANT a complete and detailed training on how to run a successful 30 Day Sprint in your agency, comment below and let me know.

PS: These are the kind of comments I got immediately after the call. (Your feedback means a lot!):

“The timing of this strategy session was vital to my agency…and I’ve already started the 30 Day Sprint…as of today, with my Team. I’m pumped. My team is leery and a bit worried, but you know what? That’s a nervous I want to see in them…because it tells me THEY WERE COMPLACENT (dad-gummit!). And we have started the warm up…3/5/09 is THE DAY…and each week we will be conducting exercises and discussions communicating what the TEAM (not just me, not just Natalie) will be doing to make the changes that will build a mousetrap that no client will want to leave!

“The quality of the materials presented in 2009 has SKYROCKETED to newer, higher levels! No Quantum member can afford to miss the information you are giving us, Michael…and I mean this sincerely!” Geri Custer, Phoenix, AZ

Michael's strategy call today about how to "Recession Proof Your Agency" was one of his best! If you missed it, watch for the CD and listen to it immediately. Also, mark your calendar for March 4th where he'll continue with Part 2 of this training. Thanks for providing us with concrete ideas and tools during these "interesting" times, Michael.
