the growth of your company."
- Laurie Taylor, President,
FlashPoint!
Laurie's training programs are custom-designed, focused on the specific needs of a business.
Laurie has a variety of clients that range in size from solo-preneurs, looking to grow their business and not add employees, to franchise owners who want to understand the business aspects of running a successful business to companies with hundreds of employees looking to manage their People, their Processes and their Profit and Revenue proactively based on their stage of growth.
Training Program for a Large Franchise Operation:
"Laurie Taylor’s dynamic program, “Reduce Risk, Increase Profits ” was a huge success at our annual conference. Franchisee comments included, ‘this was the very best part of the conference’ and ‘we should have her every year’! Her simple, straight forward strategies for managing cash flow, profit planning and creating simple systems to ‘follow the money’ had a tremendous impact on our group. The room was packed for each of her 3 sessions and our franchisees were clamoring for more. We were so impressed with Laurie’s keen insight and direct delivery that we brought her in for a Train-the Trainer program and have incorporated her systems into our core franchise training curriculum. What an eye-opener for everyone. Thanks Laurie!"
- Liam Crowe, CEO, Bark Busters Home Dog Training
Training Program for a Stage 6 Company with 96 - 161 Employees:
"We really enjoyed working with Laurie at our
annual business strategy meeting. Laurie created a two-day training
experience that fundamentally changed how we thought about our
company from several perspectives - one of the important items
was how we communicated with each other and our employees. We've
implemented several initiatives that came from this session.
We also captured input from all of our employees and were able
to identify and utilize their input to help our leadership team
get focused on the right issues at the right time."
- Thomas Dean, President,
Mechanical Technologies Group
Training Program for a Varity of Business Owners:
"Laurie has done it again. This is the
second time we have had Laurie Taylor speak to our Excell group,
and again, she did an excellent job. We had a total of 40 CEOs
and Executive Leaders take part in a day-long training session
on "The New Profit Model: Making and Keeping Money"
and the feedback continues to pour in about the quality of the
information presented. The assessments really helped participants
get focused on some of their key issues. Laurie's own experience
in running a $12 million company provided 'real life' examples
our members could relate to. A great job!"
- Larry Anderson, Excell
Facilitator, Boise, ID
Presentation to Women Business Owners:
"The women entrepreneurs were absolutely BLOWN AWAY with Laurie's presentation at my recent High Speed Sales Stiletto Camp!
She turned a topic that most entrepreneurs avoid: REVENUE and EXPENSES into bite sized, understandable and action-based pieces.
Laurie is warm, fun, didn't intimidate the crowd and they loved her. Most importantly? She made them face the TRUTH about what they are doing and NOT doing in their businesses! ( I think she gave them the stiletto in the butt that they were needing!)"
- Kim Duke, CEO and Founder, www.salesdivas.com
Training Program for The New Profit Model to a Variety of Business Owners:
"Laurie Taylor has created a very practical and insightful way of challenging management teams to focus on the critical aspects of successful performance. Based on her extensive experience both managing and advising businesses, her New Profit Model recognizes
the key components of profitability and uniquely matches them to the stages of growth a typical business experiences. An effective and convincing presenter and consultant, she inspires her management audiences to apply, and profit from, both the concepts and the actionable tools she provides. I fully endorse her message, given my own management experience and as an author and consultant in financial effectiveness."
- Dr. Erich A. Helfert, Chairman, Modernsoft, Inc. and Principal, Helfert Associaties
Training Program for a Variety of Business Owners:
"Successful business owners will usually figure it out but, often, only after it has become a problem. The Navigating the Growth Curve model is uncanny in its abilty to accurately predict what is about to happen to a business owner so they can act before it costs them time, emotional energy and money.
As for Laurie Taylor, I gave her a real challenge. Give a three hour training program to 35 business owners and senior executives. The real challenge? They represented every conceivable size and type of company from start ups to Fortune 50 and from law firms to manufacturing to technology companies. Laurie nailed the presentation giving tremendous value to everyone in the audience. After three hours, these top executives were still in their seats and taking notes. Now that is impressive!"
- William S. McIlwaine, President, Renaissance EXECUTIVE FORUMS
Training Program for a Variety of Business Owners:
"Laurie presented a full day training workshop
on The New Profit Model: Making and Keeping Money to our Excell
group members. The impact of the information presented and the
assessments each member took, forced people to think about their
businesses differently and provided some lively discussion with
a lot of participation. I've received very positive responses
from those in attendance and we are looking forward to continuing
to apply the knowledge we gained as we meet each month. I highly
recommend this workshop as a learning tool for business owners
and executive leaders."

Excell Facilitator, Boise, ID
