Ninety
five percent of businesses fail to survive to celebrate their fifth
anniversary. Even fewer businesses will celebrate their tenth anniversary.
The number one reason for this business failure is the inability to
financially manage.
During his years as a merchant, Tom Shay was shown a technique by
the C.P.A. he utilized, in which financial sheets were used to create
management tools for the next twelve months. Imagine seeing your next
financial statements now, as well as being able to make decisions
by knowing what will be their bearing on these same financial sheets.
Today, he will share that technique with us.
During the past fifteen years Tom has been a columnist for over
60 trade magazines, and has authored several books including:
* EZ Cashflow - Cash Management Software
* 100 Profits Plus Ideas for Power Promoting
Tom will have some of his books for sale at the end of his presentation
today.
As a merchant he was elected to Who’s Who in the South and Southwest.
He is also a professional member of the National Speakers Association
and has earned the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) distinction,
an honor that has been earned by less than 7% of the speakers worldwide.
Let’s welcome Tom Shay.
To
the person who will introduce me:
Today,
you and I are a team. The better job YOU do, the better job I will
be able to do for your event. You have the opportunity to set the
stage and tell the audience what to expect from me. I want them to
enjoy themselves as well as receive information to help them increase
their business.
Please:
1. Practice this several times.
2. Avoid saying things like, "I am reading it just like he wrote
it."
3. Don't add anything without discussing it with me first.
4. Show the level of excitement in your introduction that you hope
the audience will have for the presentation.
Finally ... THANK YOU for your help. Your role will help make this
a presentation the audience will long appreciate.
Tom Shay
