Dear Friend,
John McKenna
auditioned as a speaker for our annual company convention. We had three
positions open for a motivational speaker, a marketing trainer, and someone to
create and lead a personal development seminar for our practitioners. We were
so impressed by his audition that we gave him all three speaking positions at
the convention and then sent him on the road with a seminar he designed for us
called ”The Journey to Self Mastery”.
In the year that
followed we experienced severe challenges, we went through two presidents and
the founder of the company died. We almost went broke when the second
president squandered huge amounts of money and made some tactical errors. John
came in off the road, rolled up his sleeves and worked to turn the company
around.
With John’s
help as trainer and in-house consultant we completely turned around within the
year, became profitable and back on track with high morale, great sales and
lower overhead. He played a huge part in turning our Company around"
During this time John was an excellent mentor to me, (Vice President Sales and
Marketing) the C.E.O Lee Wooley, and the C.O.O of the company Dee Frejo.
He implemented a
unique peak-performance meritocracy that produced record-breaking sales and
eventually a much more peaceful environment which was a huge accomplishment
because morale had been at an all time low and the rumor mill was vicious and
out of control.
His work with
our company was so transformational that John was asked to sit on the board of
directors and was later offered the Presidency of the company (which he
declined.) He felt that his work was better done behind the scenes and the
current C.O.O. needed to be the president.
I can say
without a doubt that John is an excellent coach and mentor and his seminars
are unique, entertaining and transformational. He is a very dedicated speaker
and trainer and he has some great ideas. I am proud to recommend him.
Sincerely,
Joda Rolfes

Saving The
Evergreen Fitness and Racquet Club

The owner was filing
for Bankruptcy. I was a long time member of this club. I suggested
that he allow me to look into his situation as a volunteer. Within a
week I saw some glaring problems with regard to a lack of systems,
disorganization, a lack of focused management, and a flawed
marketing program.
I replaced several
employees by creating a system for handling customer complaints with
one sheet of paper. Immediately they started saving money and the
trustee insisted that Sherman (the owner) hire me. After being hired
I sat in the managers seat until I had created the necessary systems
to run this club more effectively.
Then I hired a new
front desk manager who I trained to be the General Manager. I moved
the current manager into an administrative assistant position and
things began to click.
I conducted
employee team meetings, complaint sessions with the members,
membership drives and specials that produced greater enrollment.
I considerably cut
costs by removing middle management fluff. I would be glad to tell
you the story in more detail or we can just talk about the issues that you are facing with your company.
The first quarter
after I began my work the bottom line was up 15%, the next quarter
we were up 40%, and the third quarter we were up 40% again. This
created a saleable business. I then sat down and went over the many
benefits of this club with an old friend of mine, Nick Kapande who
owns Nicks Pro Fitness. The Sale was a win win for all concerned.
Within one year of my looking at Sherman's bankrupt business it was
profitable and sold for a handsome sum of money.
Maybe your business is in Great
shape and you just want to take it to the next level.
Let's start brainstorming on how you can work less and make more money,
improve your systems and double your bottom line.
