Chief Visionary's Message

By Steve Ramerini

It's 2016!  What are you doing to set yourself up for success in 2016?

One of the things you may want to consider doing is attending our February 12th Fridays With COMPEL featuring world class keynote speaker Dr. Carlos Zigowy. (See more below.)

One of our new COMPELling Chairs, Chuck Peck has written a detailed blueprint for what is needed for CEOs and business owners to succeed in 2016 and beyond. Set yourself up for success by reading it here.

COMPEL is ready to have its " Breakout Hank" year with the expansion of new groups, the launch of a second Sales 300 Group, the addition of new Group Chairs (more to come on that) and the formation of our first NYC Group.  As always, I like to include a short video clip to drive home this message.
