The business bottom line is affected by how you minimize mistakes and achieve consistent productivity. Learn how responsibility and accountability are essential to your survival and growth.

Customer Service
Right now your competition is busy trying to win over your customers. Don`t let that happen! Learn how to take your clients beyond customer service to a place called "customer specialness," where your clients are loyal and your sales increase.
Teamwork

Testimonials
I have been responsible for hundreds of meetings, conferences, seminars and conventions over the past 20 years and have likely hired more than a hundred speakers. I can`t think of another speaker that is like Michael McKinley. I certainly have worked with speakers who deliver a quality presentation that are reasonable to work with. However, I often expect more than that and Michael McKinley always delivers more than what I expect.
I believe it`s obvious that I would highly recommend Mike for any critical role in your convention or meeting, be it master of ceremonies, opening speaker, keynote speaker, or closing session presenter. He has a unique blend of competence, humor, platform skills, flexibility, substance, and sincerity.
Rhoda Olsen, President/COO - Great Clips, Inc.
He will go down as one of our best keynote speakers. Mike`s presentation was not only dynamic, it was packed with valuable, practical information. Our attendees (most of whom are CAPCA members) were also impressed and pleased at Mike`s presence at our reception the evening before his presentation. Mike had `done his homework` and was able and willing to chat with the attendees prior to and following his presentation.
Kimberly Crum, Executive Director - California Agricultural Production Consultants Association
I have heard nothing but wonderful comments about your presentation. No, we do not have ice cream,` one of our most favorite lines. Isn`t it amazing how easy it is to forget how important our customers are for our business -- but most importantly we should try to learn, laugh, and have fun each day! Not only is your message a powerful one, but also a well-needed reminder.
