SPECIAL KICK-OFF PRESENTATION

"Learn to Lead: A Guarantee to Succeed," by Richard J. Bryan

After Richard Bryan’s father fell ill, the then 28-year-old Richard Bryan took the reins of a 100-year-old, $120 million car and truck dealership in the U.K. that was losing $3.5 million a year.   With help from a coach and mentor, Bryan defined his role as a leader, forged a team of trusted A-Players and learned the art of succession planning. The business not only survived, but thrived, with the addition of 6 more dealerships.

After 10 years as CEO, the U.K. native sold the business to another dealer group. Today, the  Colorado-based author, speaker and coach helps execs build and refine high-performing teams across various sectors, including ag machinery dealers. A favorite at national dealer meetings for his practical methods to “bust through the wall” of their stagnating sales performance, Bryan is making his first appearance before dealers of all colors at the DMS.

Come ready to work. … This interactive session will get you and the other dealers at your table participating, sharing and discussing the solutions that will improve your sales leadership effectiveness to create margins of time necessary to “work on” your growing business.

You’ll Learn How to: 

• Define Your Role as a Leader. Leverage your unique talents and focus on what ONLY YOU can do for your organization and delegate the rest. 
• Target A-Players. Surround yourself with A-Players with transferable skills and a great attitude.  Mentor and train to ensure a bench for your next generation of leaders. 
• Celebrate Success to Retain Your Best. A structured strategy will celebrate success, reward your top performers and increase engagement to retain those with highest potential.
