I've been in business for over 33 years, with most of that time spent in the sales and marketing role...and of course communication is VITAL in that role.One thing I've noticed over the years is many people REALLY STRUGGLE with communication skills - and it holds them back. It keeps them from getting promotions, from making more money, from getting better results, from selling themselves, their ideas, their products and services effectively. The bottom line is communication skills are perhaps THE most important element to your success.
Ultimately we are always wanting to communicate VALUE - and after all these years I realized that most people in the sales world can't even DEFINE what "value" even is!!
VALUE OF YOURSELF, OF YOUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, IDEAS - COMMUNICATING THEM EFFECTIVELY CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
YOU CAN ORDER BOTH OF THESE TO THE LEFT OR YOU CAN ORDER THE BOOK FROM AMAZON.COM. SIMPLY TYPE IN STEVE PATTERSON'S STREET SMARTS FOR SUCCESS AND THE BOOK WILL COME UP.
LEARN ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, PRESENTATION SKILLS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND SELL YOUR VALUE!!
How to position yourself as a person or company that creates and delivers VALUE.
How to sell yourself, a product or a service. We are all salespeople and my formula will help you understand how to be GREAT at selling.
YOU also were born to SUCCEED, but you must first BELIEVE it, and then TAKE ACTION to make things happen in the smartest, easiest way possible. This is what gave birth to my whole "Street Smart" idea. (I also refer to these skills as "Life Smarts" because they will help you in ALL ASPECTS of your life)
You see, to be successful at anything, whether it is in business, non-profits, or life in general - you don't have to know everything - but you MUST know the MAIN THINGS that can drive success in your business or in your life.
I can help you get there.
With quite a bit of formal education as well as 30 years business experience, I've been told by many that I speak and communicate exceptionally well and "take complicated subjects and make them easy to understand." That's the purpose of my e-book and my speaking engagements and I know you will enjoy them. I cover REAL WORLD information that you need to know to succeed, and you can order my e-book just to the left or go to Amazon and type in Steve Patterson's Street Smarts for Success - A Step by Step Guide."

I've spent YEARS studying why some people and organizations are so successful, and why others fail. And, after spending many years in marketing and helping others grow their businesses, it became very clear to me that, in order to achieve success, there is a FORMULA TO FOLLOW, regardless of how you define success.
So...if you need a speaker who is a seasoned business professional? One that can connect with your audience and leave them with a toolbox full of real world tools to use to perform at higher levels?.
My presentation on "The Street Smart Formula for Success" is a presentation that your audience won't easily forget. It is packed with stories, lessons learned, and plenty of tools to help people and organizations perform at high levels. Your audience will laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as I go through many of my life's experiences on a personal and business level, and will inspire them to return to their daily jobs with a hunger to perform at higher levels.
