Supercharge Your Sales Kickoff Conference

Are you looking to elevate your sales team’s performance and drive exceptional results? Would it be helpful to have the inspiration, mindset shift, and tools to break free from the circumstances that are preventing your organization from reaching its full potential? Chad E. Foster is a world-class sales keynote speaker who has helped countless professionals power business outcomes by shifting their mindset, take ownership of their life and their business outcomes, and embrace adversity as an opportunity to grow.

Through his compelling personal story – losing his eyesight at 21-years-old, building software Oracle thought impossible, winning billions in revenue in the business world as a pricing and deal strategist, becoming the first blind executive to graduate Harvard’s leadership program, learning how to ski black and even double black diamond terrain, and taking up the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) – all with his eyes closed – Chad shows your team that they don’t have to be limited by their circumstances or their current narrative.

The frenetic pace of disruption, the constant pressure for quarterly results, and the always-on nature of work make it challenging to keep up with the competition while managing the burnout that often bubbles up as we strive for excellence. In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, it’s essential to keep your sales force motivated, adaptive, and focused on achieving your organization’s goals. Chad E. Foster’s powerful keynotes inspire and motivate teams by drawing on his own experiences, delivering a message that transcends sales techniques and strategies.

His no-excuses approach to life, five pillars for cultivating resilience, and extensive experience in sales and leadership, all make him the perfect motivational sales keynote speaker for your next sales kickoff (SKO) conference, training event, or corporate gathering.

Chad will dive into the five pillars that have enabled him to thrive in the face of adversity:

  1. CHOOSE YOUR RESPONSE: You can choose your response, your attitude, and your perspective.
  2. TELL YOURSELF THE RIGHT STORIES: You will become your stories, so choose them wisely.
  3. VISUALIZE YOUR GREATNESS: You need to visualize how to make sometimes unpalatable circumstances look good.
  4. GET COMFORTABLE WITH DISCOMFORT: Comfort zones equal complacency – life and growth both happen outside your comfort zone.
  5. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR DISADVANTAGES: Every disadvantage offers us an advantage if used in the right context. How can you make your disadvantages work for you, instead of against you?

Business Keynote Speaker

Identifying a keynote speaker with corporate experience is important as audiences face an onslaught of challenges. As a Keynote speaker and business leader, Chad E. Foster has extensive experience leading corporate teams and speaking at events and conventions for a number of leading companies in the corporate arena, including Google and Salesforce.

Industries throughout the world are experiencing unprecedented disruption due to a number of factors. Digital transformation is affecting all sectors of the economy, and the recent global pandemic has reshaped how we transact, go to market, and work – even how we live our daily lives.

Given the velocity of change and its impact on commerce, it has never been more important to improve our ability to adapt to changes, shift our mindset, and reinvent ourselves and our businesses.

Adapt and Thrive Amid the Uncertainty

Reinventing oneself and one’s organization takes a combination of factors. But one thing we know for sure, having the right tools/technology is not enough. In order for organizations to navigate these uncertainties, it takes an alignment of technology, processes, and people.

Creating a Resilient Culture

So, how can you create a culture that prepares your people to deal with the onslaught of changes coming at them? Empowering associates to thrive in change isn’t easy but it’s not impossible either.

It starts with creating a culture that’s prepared to turn obstacles into opportunities so you can take advantage of your disadvantages. So how can we take advantage of our disadvantages?

Case in Point

One such example in the business world may be found in the retail sector. In 2012 Best Buy was facing intense pricing pressure from online retailers when its new CEO, Hubert Joly, decided to look at its portfolio of brick-and-mortar stores with a fresh set of eyes. Instead of viewing them as a liability, he chose to use them as assets in an innovative business redesign that created the stores-within-a-store model where supply chain partners would invest in retail point of sale storefronts to enhance product and sales expertise for their products, leading to higher customer satisfaction, reduced cost for suppliers, and reduced cost for Best Buy through supplier investments. The company also started using these storefronts as distribution centers in order to beat online retailer delivery times. Had the company thought about its network of stores as just a liability, it would’ve never been able to reimagine its future and take advantage of its disadvantages.

Unlocking your organization’s possibilities starts with influencing the mindset of every individual in your organization, so you can leverage the collective potential of each person. The power lies in having an organization of forward thinkers who can reimagine ways of doing business in a differentiated way.

Individual Mindset and Company Culture

We know that Our mindset affects the language we use and the actions we take. Knowing that holds true for each individual, the collective behaviors of our organization are affected by the way each individual thinks and acts.

So, if we want a resilient company culture, we need a workforce made up of resilient individuals, which is why it’s so crucial to influence how each person in your organization thinks about navigating change, turning obstacles into opportunities, and reaching their full potential – so your business can reach its full potential.
