Erik Luhrs   After a decade in the NYC corporate world, literally working his way up from a temp in the mailroom to a Director with over 120 employees reporting to him, Erik Luhrs decided to leave the 9-5 (more like 7-7) grind. But he didn't go far, because he turned right around and became a management consultant to F500 companies and NGOs. And though the travel and new people were exciting he did not feel fulfilled and decided to leave management consulting behind after a few years. After trying his hand at several businesses, Erik eventually became a Business Coach. And in order to help his clients the best he could, he decided to study with the world's premier experts in Sales & Marketing. Erik initially studied his mentors at the "conscious" level, which means he learned what they taught him about how they did what they did from what they knew about themselves. But Erik also understood that humans function 99% subconsciously, and he knew that his mentors had a number of thinks they did subconsciously, that they were not aware of, that helped them to succeed - and he wanted to learn that as well. So Erik studied his mentors at the subconscious level as well! By combining what he learned from his mentors at the conscious and subconscious levels, Erik created...   The GURUS Selling System   (GURUS - Genuine Self, Unique Sales Persona, Rapport Building, Unique Buying Position, Sales Ally) With The GURUS Selling System, Erik worked with salespeople and sales teams around the world, helping them get in touch with their genuine selves so they could create and close sales more rapidly then they had ever done before. The "secret" of GURUS Selling was the salesperson first gained better control of their own subconscious processes and this, in turn, allowed them to better communicate with the subconscious processes of their clients. Then Erik chronicled these learning in the book, BE DO SALE.   Ted Prodromou is America’s leading LinkedIn coach and the #1 best selling author of The Ultimate Guide to Linked In For Business.

Beth Granger:  Do you know the difference between a hashtag and a handle? ✓ Are you concerned about the lack of a trusted adviser to help navigate the online or social landscape, overwhelmed by all the possible social media platforms, and don't know where to begin? ✓ Even though your business is successful, are you afraid you aren't getting enough qualified sales leads? ✓ Are you merging or acquiring a company and aren't sure whether to merge the website, corporate identity, or social profiles? These questions and more are how I learn about you, your business or organization, and your competitors. That's how I learn what makes you unique. Then I help you with strategies to surpass your goals. l love helping people who may not be comfortable with technology to embrace its power. A client recently told me I accelerate the learning curve for social media and social sales. When clients are asked why they work with me the answer is frequently: She listened! I also have a passion for teaching. My typical student is a business owner who doesn't have a marketing person, salespeople who are concerned about making their numbers, and job seekers who are fearful that their resumes go into a black hole when they apply to jobs.
