Full Speed Ahead for Sales 

FULL SPEED AHEAD is a powerful sales or leadership keynote that uses Vince's "recreational skier to Olympics in four years story" to deliver the edge-of-your-seat inspiration and revenue-boosting tools to accelerate bottom-line growth.

"The standing ovation spoke for itself. Vince, thank you for setting us on a winning course for the rest of the year." Vince delivers wildly entertaining stories, thought-provoking tactics, and practical focus tools for leaders and salespeople to thrive in a competitive landscape. Vince knows about speed and focus. He skied at 135 mph down a mountain.

He shares a remarkable formula regarding:
  • Clarity of Purpose - Start with the emotional buzz that your product or service delivers.
  • Commitment is a Process - Leadership for the self is a living example of stepping into uncertainty.
  • Consistency in a Demanding Environment - Do what the competition is not willing to do.

"The beauty of his message and his story impressed me more for its down-to-earth quality than any I have heard in many years. His approach was really a breath of fresh air."

Impact and Influence for Leaders

This message has practical takeaways and instant motivation to get your team and their activities back on track. It has been delivered around the world for audiences wanting a high-energy, humorous, and inspiring message to break free from the limitations of chaos and 'stuckness.'

It revolves around the three key elements of The Solution Loop:
  • Collaboration is a function of internal and external alignment. It is triggered by looking outside yourself from a different viewpoint.
  • Curiosity towards limitless possibilities of what a new reality looks like.
  • Creativity to narrow in on the best options that work best for those involved.

Companies have used The Solution Loop in From Setback to Breakthrough for remote and in-person events. From Setback to Breakthrough helps employees feel part of a great organization dedicated to course correction and renewed momentum. The Solution Loop is a methodology taken from Vince's most recent book,
The Earthquake - Your Journey from Setback to Breakthrough.

  • Agility in your local market. Do what the competition is not willing to do.
  • Target local market advantages.
  • Adaptability for optimum franchisee output.
  • Utilize the knowledge from your event.
