With
book sales continuing to accelerate above and beyond $3,000,000,
and a diary bursting full of engagements, Jeff Smith is
the world's #1 leading expert on key performance indicators
(KPI).
His client list reads like a "who's who" of
global success and includes nothing less than Royalty,
a string of Fortune 100 companies and he's cited by his
clients as the best business improvement strategists in
the world.
Jeff
Smith is an Author, Business Strategist and Motivational
Speaker who's made several programmes for Sky Television
and is often called upon as an expert on business improvement.
He travels all over the world ranging from Europe, the
Middle East, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the USA talking
about implementing and using KPI for adopting best practise
and developing successful business strategies, particularly
in difficult times. He looks at the current environment
to bring common sense and clear direction from a world
of confusion to help all businesses generate greater results.
He doesn't stand behind podiums, he walk freely around
the stage, fully engaging the audience to maximum effect.
The
focus of his speeches is always “fun with a serious
intent ” and because of his own experience of running
highly successful businesses for more than 25 years, he's
able to draw upon real-life "success and failure"
stories attaining high levels of credibility with the
audience.

of the areas covered by Jeff Smith include:

"Credibility
is an essential ingredient in a speaker if you want to
make change happen within an organisation"
Jeff speaks to audiences within many different
industries around the world and his background in the
Automotive Industry provides a perfect backdrop for many
business challenges that have faced the world over the
last century.
Using
his "Pyramids of Power" his ability to
explain complex concepts to a large audience making business
principles easy to understand is his trade mark - his
clarity is truly unrivalled.
You
can always measure a good conference by how much it's
talked about after the event, but rather than going solely
for the popularity vote, Jeff's aim is to give great ideas
to improve business performance- and that's what gets
talked about long after the event has ended - However,
although it's not his aim, he's often cited by the audience
as the best speaker of the day.
Perhaps
one of the reasons for his popularity is because he's
brilliant at getting the audience involved in the whole
experience; he works on this premise:
Tell
me and I will hear
Show me and I will see
Involve me and I will understand
Jeff
Smith interacting with an audience in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
He never stands behind a podium, he doesn't
require an Autocue nor does he rely upon scripts... instead
he walks the stage fully engaging the audience speaking
from heart with real passion. Few people have the depth
of knowledge to do this and at the same time have the
ability to deliver a message to the audience with the
effect of an atomic bomb.

"During
our lifetime we have the chance to meet a lot of people,
some of them are very well educated, some of them have
a lot of knowledge, a few of them are brilliant, but if
we are really lucky, sometimes we get to meet a "
Genius". But what makes someone a genius?
Probably there are many answers to this question, but
from my perspective I think a genius is someone who brings
"Clarity" and who has the capacity to put together
a lot of information and come out with a simple clear
understanding of it. But further more, a genius is capable
of sharing their knowledge in simple plain English, so
that is understandable to everybody at every level, even
to people like me where English is not my first language.
One day in my life I met a person who fulfilled my requisites
to call him a genius, that was the day I met Jeff Smith.
He has contributed
so much to make the automotive industry understandable,
it's an industry so difficult to manage, but he gives
clear and very effective ways to measure performance in
all aspects of the business.
Thank you
very much for all the knowledge you have given me, but
more importantly thank you so much for giving me "Clarity".

"During
my career in Pharmaceuticals and within the Automotive
Industry, I've attend many training courses, seminars
and conferences and in my opinion, Jeff Smith is the best
speaker in the world today, especially on the subject
of using Key Performance Indicators for business improvement.
He's totally
transformed the way our dealer partners manage their businesses
in the whole of the Middle East, North Africa and South
Africa. I don't know anyone else who knows the subject
of business improvement so well and has the power to influence
people on a world-wide scale.
Jeff has
brought much needed clarity and understanding of key performance
indicators to our business and how they can be used to
drive change in all areas of the operation. When we book
Jeff Smith to speak at our events, he's so easy and professional
to deal with and we know every seat will be taken."

"I was
recently fortunate enough to film an event at which Jeff
Smith was a keynote speaker, delivering an excellent presentation
outlining a number of useful strategies to help track
KPI and boost sales performance.
As a commercial
film maker, I see many professional speakers performing
on stage every year and once in a while, on that rare
occasion, I get to see someone who stands out above the
crowd and really connects with their audience. Jeff Smith
is one such speaker and this was confirmed through the
feedback we had during filming interviews with delegates
throughout the event.
Jeff did an amazing job of bringing to life a subject
that can often be very dry, using real-world examples
to keep the audience engaged and inspired. Even the film
crew were totally enthralled by him and what he had to
say and we knew nothing about the subject. I don' think
it's possible to have a higher recommendation than that."

"After
our initial interview with Jeff and after contacting several
companies he had worked with in the past, we decided to
hire Jeff as a speaker for our organization to focus on
the KPI known as Absorption.
We asked
Jeff to present at conferences in 16 different countries
over a period of just over a month. The quality of Jeff's
presentations was absolutely top-notch and he easily handled
the occasional "naysayer" or "challenger"
in the audience through a combination of his experience
and his knowledge on the topic.
Our people
left each meeting with not only a better understanding,
but also a much better appreciation of the topic and its
value to their business. Jeff Smith single handedly drove
this highly desirable end-result for our organization.
Beyond this very positive end-result however, there is
more... Jeff was easy to work with and extremely understanding
of our needs and the outcome we desired.
In my book,
it simply doesn't get any better. Would we hire Jeff again?
Absolutely!
Thanks Jeff!"

"We
asked Jeff to speak at our Global Dealer EXPO in the USA
this year, to share his important message about KPI's
(Key Performance Indicators) and Absorption. His message
was received with great enthusiasm by our Dealers. His
engaging presentation makes complex topics easy to understand,
as well as enjoyable for the audience. Participants queued
up following the presentation, eager for one-on-one discussions
with Jeff to explore more questions and ideas. We could
not have been more pleased with the response from our
Dealers.
Would I ask
Jeff to speak to our group again? Already have……….by
popular demand he is coming back for another session later
this year. Our Dealers and Business Groups are excited
to have Jeff continue our development so that, together,
we can grow our business profitably. You know when you
have found an effective speaker when your toughest constituents
offer positive, unsolicited feedback."

Smith is by far and away the most effective Motivational

"We
all have to earn a living to survive, but Jeff always
goes the extra mile. I can honestly say he's a person
of the highest integrity and he's always ready to jump
in and help people who are in trouble, whereas other people
in his position wouldn't do it without an invoice being
raised.
I've
seen him work many times with our ACOAT Partners and without
exception, they've all been totally transformed, inspired
and always want more. I wouldn't consider hiring anyone
else because quite simply, there's no one else in his
class!
Personally,
I prefer to work with a genuine business expert rather
than someone who's simply read one of his books. Jeff
is also a very nice guy!"

"I cannot
overstate the impact of Jeff Smith’s presentation
at our recent Inchcape Retail Group Aftersales Managers
meeting which was held at The Heritage Centre in Gaydon.
It was wonderfully simple to understand, yet very powerful
in its approach in teaching us all how to further improve
the profitability from our Aftersales departments.
He also managed to crisply communicate the message in
a relaxed way and best of all we had some genuine fun
when completing the KPI Quiz that he asked us to do.
There were some hard hitting messages in the presentation
and we all concluded that he prepared a presentation that
seriously differentiates him from the crowd and will most
definitely help us to improve our performance.
I highly recommend Jeff as a Motivational Speaker for
any conference.”

Smith Involves The Audience - It's Always Fun With A Serious
Intent
Jeff
Smith says...
When I decided
to become a Motivational Speaker, I vowed to myself I
would keep the audience engaged for maximum impact, enjoyment
and effectiveness, or else I'd quit.
After many
years of honing my skills as a speaker, I believe the
secret to success is to get the audience involved and
interactive because I know when people get immersed in
a subject, they understand it and want to know more.
Wherever
possible, I love to get off the stage and interact with
people to encourage questions because then I can give
even more and when people get involved we can make change
happen in the workplace; there's no greater feeling.

7
Compelling Reasons Why You Should
Choose Jeff Smith For Your Conference
Compelling
Reason # 1: Credibility is a MUST. Although
he's achieved massive success in the Automotive Industry,
his conference speeches are tailored for all business
sectors. He speaks in depth about KPI for Sales organisations,
Service organisations, manufacturing, right through to
balance sheet and cohesive business strategy.
With
book sales exceeding $3,000,000, there are very few people
in the Automotive Industry who do not own a copy of The
KPI Book; it's regarded as "the industry Bible".
He's
well known, he's well respected, he's always accessible
to people and he stays at the conference to speak with
the delegates after the event. Who is better than the
guy who wrote the book to speak about KPI?
Compelling
Reason # 2: Real World Ideas – not glib theory!
Jeff has more than 30 years of experience of running businesses
and he's worked with some of the very best people in the
world - he knows what works and he knows how to explain
it really well.
Compelling Reason # 3: Definitely Not The Same
Old Stuff - Some conference speakers have a "standard"
speech and say the same thing at every conference they
attend. If the audience has seen them before, they say
"Here we go again, same old stuff as last time."
You'll never get this with Jeff because he'll spend a
lot of time with you before the conference so that everything
is tailor-made for your event. You get your message delivered
in a way that's fresh, right for the current climate and
delivered with massive impact.
Compelling Reason # 4: Walking the talk - Some speakers
are mere entertainers, they put on a great show but they
lack any in-depth knowledge. How many speakers do you
know that will make a presentation and then stay on stage
and ask for questions? Not many! Jeff believes this makes
a real difference to delivering change in the workplace
- the more questions he gets, the better; it makes the
whole event more relevant for everyone.
Compelling Reason # 5: Great content but what about
the delivery style? Well, this is a personal thing,
we all like different things, but what we can say is that
Jeff is usually fully booked for at least 12 months in
advance and that's the real acid test.
Compelling
Reason # 6: Is it possible to influence people
in 1 hour? Most conference speakers will say "Yes,
of course, I use a special technique". The truth
is the level of influence that can be achieved at a conference
is directly proportional to the subject matter. Some topics
carry instantaneous influence, whilst other subjects requires
support from the top at a later stage.
Give
us your brief and your expectations for the event and
then Jeff will have a talk with you and tell you "honestly"
what he thinks he can achieve.
Here's
something quite rare...If he does not think that he can
deliver what you are asking for, he will not accept your
invitation to speak and that's why his success rate is
100%. Honesty and integrity are right at the top of his
list.
Compelling
Reason # 7: Action is the Key- There are many
speakers who can get up on stage and talk for an hour
or two and take your money, but the question is, do they
give a call to action? Do they inspire people to want
to make change happen? In other words, do they have the
ability to deliver commercial gain in the workplace for
you? The answer for Jeff Smith is most definitely YES!
If
you have the budget for such an acclaimed speaker and
you want to know more about how to get the best results
out of your conference, why don't you pick up the phone,
call the office and speak with Jeff Smith directly, here's
the number:
0044 1384 371432
Don't
worry, if he's not in the office (and he probably won't
be) you can speak with Sharon, his PA who will let you
know about his availability and then she'll take your
details and arrange for Jeff to call you personally at
a convenient time to suit you.
When
you want the very best results...
