Main Street Mavericks Radio with Donna Gunter

Tessa Stowe wants to see a world where people know how to be happy and are happy most of the time, no matter what significant events have happened in their lives. An event or crises often causes us to "wake up" and realize that being as happy as we can be is urgent. The event or crisis that delivers this wake-up call could be something like the loss of a loved one, divorce/separation, illness, loss of a job, a financial crisis, or a natural disaster. Or it could be waking up one morning asking, "Is this it? Surely there must be more to life. What did I miss since I'm not as happy as I thought I'd be by now?" Tessa's goal is for no one to miss out on being as happy as they can be because they don't know how to be, or they are following the wrong formula. For many years she was following the wrong formula for happiness. She was doing all those things you are "supposed to do." She ended up being busy, stressed out and unhappy, and it almost cost her everything. Join our interview with Happiness Path Finder, Tessa Stowe, and discover: - What you can do to be happier - How to fit this happiness regimen into an already full day - How to get yourself to do those things that you know will make you happy - How you can access the benefits of happiness - Happiness is a learnable skill Tessa Stowe is the founder of "Saying YES to Happiness" and helps those who are ready to move forward and be happy after a significant event has sucked happiness out of them. Tessa does this by teaching quick, easy, fun, and effective happiness practices that you can fit into your day. Tessa is NOT a counselor, a therapist or a psychologist in happiness. Instead, her happiness expertise comes from two main areas: real life and extracting the gems from mountains of information and research by happiness scientists and scholars.

In this episode, Thomas Schmitt, automotive management professional, discusses how building relationships is key to managing a successful car dealership. Thomas has noticed that many dealerships are still viewing customers as numbers rather than as people. Tom Chesser, owner of Solutions Plus made an appearance on this episode of Main Street Mavericks Radio. Tom provides custom-tailored solutions for business owners who need to gain an advantage in the market place. His slogan is "Solutions that put more money in your bank account." Thomas goes on to say that everything that happens in a car dealership is about relationships, from the customer to the bank to the dealership employees. In order to get happy customers, a dealership needs to show that they are willing to work with the customer. Because dealership management is so overwhelmed with paperwork, they don't have the opportunity to review how their sales team is making sales. Thomas has extensive experience directing multi-franchise dealerships from small to high volume scale and has been acknowledged for his superior ability to recruit, develop, train, and retains top talent across all areas of the dealership. As an award-winning management professional, he has a strong record of success in directing dealership operations to increase sales, profitability, market share growth, and CSI scores and improve used car departments.

In this episode, Peter Cotton, President of Best Sales Talent, LLC, discusses how small and medium-sized companies can significantly improve their bottom line when they invest in attracting and hiring the best sales talent. As an executive recruiter, Cotton has nationwide contacts of client companies and candidates. He also has a national network of fellow recruiters who work with him to find the most outstanding candidates. Cotton and his firm act as consultants to help employers find the best sales, sales management and marketing individuals who have a reputation for building profitable business relationships with new and existing customers. Peter is a talent acquisition professional offering management consulting services in the search and recruitment of the best sales, sales management and marketing professionals. He says that employers need to know exactly what they are looking for and what they need before they set out to hire anyone. "If they don't know what they are looking for, they will never know if they found it," he says. When it comes to sales talent, the profession of selling is a very specialized skill that takes time and practice to perfect. Identifying the best sales talent is a specialized skill that Peter has refined over forty years. He views sales as a consultative process of understanding customer needs and problems and then solving those customers' problems and satisfying their needs. Cotton operates on the basic principle of "it takes one to know one." Before entering the recruiting profession, he was an award-winning salesman and sales manager for GAF, a Fortune 500 company. In 1977 he became the President and owner of MRI-Sales Consultants of Rhode Island, a franchised office of MRINetwork, the world's largest executive search firm.

Capitalizing on his own sales management experience, Peter co-authored a book for the American Management Association, How To Be An Effective Sales Manager. Utilizing his sales and organizational management skills, while he was operating his recruiting business, Cotton became the Founder and President of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Rhode Island. The all-volunteer Rhode Island chapter was the 75th in the U.S. and was the fastest start-up in the charity's national history.

In this episode, Steve Kiges, co-founder of The Coach Training Academy, discussed several programs that he offers through The Coach Training Academy. The core program is the 24-week International Coach Federation accredited program for people who are busy and those who want to up their game by adding coaching to their current offerings. The second program, the Fast Track Program, is not for everyone. It is designed for motivated individuals that want a fast paced, turn-key certified coaching model that will allow them to hit the ground running. This is tailor-made for people who do coaching as a part of their regular job, like therapists, social workers, physicians, lawyers, etc. but don't have a certification in coaching. One key difference in the programs is that the 24-week program includes business and marketing information on how to build your business as a coach and market a coaching practice. One of the obstacles that coaches face is the fact that prospective clients are often not ready to take action. Steve explains that oftentimes, coaches often take that personally, when, in fact, it has nothing to do with the coach and everything to do with where the prospect is in his/her life. The prospects may not be ready for another failure or challenge in their lives or may need therapy rather than coaching. Steve Kiges is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, coach trainer, and Certified Master Life Coach: a distinction held for coaches who have logged over 5000 hours with clients. After a fifteen-year international performing and university teaching career, Steve became restless and wondered what the world of business would be like. He immersed himself in business by taking classes and searched out top business mentors. Within a short time, he became Vice President and partner at Mercedes Dental Software. With Steve's energy and perseverance Mercedes grew to be one of the largest Dental software companies in North America. After selling Mercedes, Steven moved on to pursue his real lifelong dream, touching people's lives. Steve is a Master Neuro-Linguistic-Programmer, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist (American Board of Hypnotherapy), Time Line Therapy Specialist and a Certified Master of Communication Skills. He brings to his clients a wide array of techniques and applications that help them get unstuck and reach goals quickly.

In this episode, Owen Moon, CEO of CarClick360.com, discussed hyperlocal and targeted mobile advertising for car dealerships. Owen notes that about 75% of all Internet usage is done through a mobile device and when people go to their mobile device, they will start with a mobile app. The advertising shows up for the consumer when it is makes sense for the consumer as they are living their lives. Because the ads are locally-based, the ads can be shown to the consumers in that specific geographic marketplace when they are on their mobile devices. This mobile marketing help dealerships find car shoppers and buyers and connect them via advertising on mobile devices to get them to walk into car dealerships. These ads are served up as messages on popular apps such as The Weather Channel and ESPN. They put these ads in front of car shoppers multiple times. Statistics show that between 30 and 50 percent of people who go to dealerships end up buying a car or at least using the dealer for servicing of their existing vehicles. His mobile messaging and advertising service can be used for other business as well, like restaurants. For more information about Owen, visit his website at http://www.carclick360.com.

In this episode, Craig Petronella, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author and CEO of Petronella Technology Group, Inc., discusses how to educate employees about corporate policies in working with IT about security issues. The training is delivered through online video and follow up exercises to assess each employee's comprehension of the training. Craig goes on to say that there are a series of tests, or trust factors, that each employee should complete when receiving an email to ensure it is safe to open. First, check to see if you recognize the person and email address that has been sent to you. Second, if there is an attachment, determine whether you were expecting an email with an attachment from that person. Third, look at the type of attachment to see if it is formatted with a recognized program (Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, etc.). Fourth, look at the links in an email and ensure that they are going where you expect them to go by hovering your mouse pointer over the link to see the destination and make sure it matches. Fifth is to look at the language used in the email and determine if it matches the sender's normal language pattern. If you fail to follow these trust factors and your system is breached, it may be months before you discover the breach and the ramifications of a breach. Another protection against malicious software or malware is to use next generation antivirus technology that protects against 99% of the threats. However, these solutions are typically only available to corporations with 5,000 employees or greater. Craig has developed a partnership to deliver this type of protection to much smaller businesses to avail them of the same protection afforded to large corporations. When combining this software with security awareness training and good data backup, the lower the risk your business has for a breach. Infection with ransomware, or where a company's data is held hostage until a ransom is paid, can completely destroy a business. Your company can also be easily infected by one of your vendors, who is unaware that their system has been hacked. Because the infection and impact can be months, if not years, apart, it is often difficult to connect the two. Craig Petronella, Raleigh, North Carolina's top cybersecurity expert and IT authority, has authored multiple books, including How HIPAA Can Crush Your Medical Practice and Peace of Mind Computer Support. He has spent thirty years advising clients and protecting computer information. Craig makes sure your medical practice network works when you need it the most, and is a celebrity in his field and hometown. Craig is frequently quoted in the local Raleigh news and appears on local TV news for his expertise in protecting local businesses and medical practice owners from hackers halfway around the world in places such as Ukraine, Russia, and China.

In this episode of Main Street Mavericks Radio, Kangen Water® distributor, Tom Chesser of Solutions Plus, interviews his client, Bill King, as Bill discusses the results he has experienced using the Enagic Kangen Water® System. Safe and readily available water is a basic human necessity to meet health and sanitation needs. However, tap water around the world has consistently been found to be subpar, "first-world" countries not excluded. According to National Geographic, "Bottled water is a drain on the environment. The U.S. public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled. Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases." Enagic has been the leading manufacturer of specialized high quality water ionizer generating systems, which are distributed globally. Kangen Waterr machines are used in hundreds of thousands of homes worldwide to transform regular tap water into pure, healthy, electrolyzed reduced and hydrogen rich drinking water. Bill goes on to say that the system takes normal tap water that has an acidic base and turns it into an alkaline-based water that has health benefits. The water also eliminates the need for cleaning supplies in your home and is a great product to improve the health of your pets. After being a critical care paramedic firefighter in the Chicago metro area for 30 years, as well as a successful business owner, Bill King and his wife, Mary, a former a flight attendant and teacher's assistant, were both excited about their future and the changes to come in their retirement years. However, they were facing some health issues. While searching for solutions, they came across Enagic and the machine that produces Kangen Water®. After doing due diligence, they purchased the machine in August of 2015. Within the first hour after use, they both noticed an energy level change from a physical standpoint. Mary, who had suffered from some type of allergy for thirty years, could not leave their home without a handkerchief due to watery eyes and a runny nose. Approximately ten days after using the machine, she noted that she no longer had her allergies. Bill noticed that he no longer had a recurring issue with kidney stones, which had plagued him for over 30 years. They began sharing their story with others and started selling the machine. They have introduced a great many people to Enagic and their key phrase, "Change your water, Change your life". If you are looking for an amazing in-home water ionization system that eliminates bad-tasting water and harmful chemicals and want to reduce your dependence on bottled water, they offer in-home Kangen Water® demonstrations using your tap water to let you try Kangen Water® firsthand. They serve the Chicago, IL, suburbs of St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Elgin, Aurora, Naperville, Schaumburg, West Chicago, Elburn, North Aurora, Dundee, Crystal Lake, Antioch, Bloomingdale, Glendale Heights, Elmhurst, Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Norridge, and DeKalb.

In this episode, Urvi Mehta, a social media marketing expert, discusses how to get the most out of relationships you build over time on social media, resulting in more engagement and followers on social media without spending a dime. For best success, she notes that you should post to Instagram first when sharing information, and then share your post on Facebook to get more engagement and more views to your post. She adds that it's necessary to post relevant and engaging content, as well as to like and comment on other posts to build your network and following. She says it's not a good idea to post the same information more than once a day. If you want to repeat a post, she notes, spread out the post over a two-day or greater period. She goes on to recommend frequent posting with images, as well as quotes from famous people to increase your engagement. She and her team did some testing on famous people's quotes and discovered that quotes by Abraham Lincoln were noticed and liked more often than those of other presidents or other famous people.

In this episode, Troy Howard, in partnership with his father and brother, Ron and Trevor Howard, at SoTellUs.com, discusses the world's only review platform that lets businesses instantly collect video, audio and written reviews from customers using an app on a smart phone or tablet.

Com, one of the largest online directories producing nearly $100 million in revenue annually. Over the next few years Troy moved up in the company to Vice President of Operations and Marketing managing a 300-person sales force that generated over 8,000 new clients each month. Eventually Troy left the corporate world and started several successful marketing companies including WebForce Pro and onTop local, which have helped thousands of small business owners around the world dominate their competition online and drive record growth in their businesses by disrupting the idea of traditional search engine optimization. Troy and his team made this possible by developing proprietary marketing software that reduced 3 - 5 hours of SEO work into a click of a button, giving their customers the competitive edge online.
