The interactive session will discuss present obstacles and solutions to more effectively transport remarketed vehicles.
This summer’s meeting includes Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training and also nationally known keynote speaker Richard Fenton, author of Go For No, a book about the willingness to accept failure as a way to achieve success.

In this session, participants will learn:
How increasing your failure rate leads to increased performance.
That failing and being a failure are two very different things.
The primary restraining force that holds people back.
The five failure levels and how to progress through them.
Why you must have no goals to reach your full potential.
How to get past rejection quickly and easily.
This session is designed for salespeople, network marketing, entrepreneurs, and anyone who must overcome failure and rejection to be successful. The program is available as a 45-90-minute keynote or breakout session to meet your specific needs. Maximum group size is 50 attendees.
