Randy currently has formed a partnership with Leslie Groene of Groene Consulting.

Here at Penn Lithographics things are no different except for the fact that our management team hired a consultant named Leslie Groene to facilitate this process.

I first met Leslie in February of 2001.At that time my annual sales were at the two million dollar mark.I had concerns that my top client, who was responsible for 60% of my business, was experiencing legal problems which ultimately resulted in their business closing.Leslie listened to my concerns and was able to redirect my efforts by using time management and goal setting techniques.

Leslie encouraged me to prospect for new business but showed me how simple it was to make warm calls instead of cold ones.She kept my attitude positive and was able to focus my efforts on things I could control.Through a combination of new business and increased penetration of existing business we were able to replace my largest account with a stronger and more diverse base.This was done with only one hour a week of coaching and the benefits were realized without ever having a dip in sales.

I currently work with Leslie on more of a maintenance program.

If you're a truck driver, you may need to pick up another route If the relationship between your pay and your performance isn't clear to you, ask your boss to help you come up with the criteria for what would merit the raise you're seeking. "You have to contribute before you can say, 'You owe me,' " Groene said. Change careers.
