    About Richard Weylman

    Richard Weylman is considered one of the leading authorities on marketing innovation and understanding the customer perspective. Chris Forbes, vice chairman of Forbes Media, refers to his work as “brilliant”.

    He is a strategic advisor to executives in both small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, helping them to develop the right strategies and tactics based on his unique ability to “see” the customer’s perspective. He delivers proven methodologies to create marketplace distinction, effectively communicate the value of offerings and elevate the customer experience. His client list includes companies such as Merrill Lynch, Saladmaster, John Deere, Fidelity, Jazzercise, and Conklin Distributors.

    He is the author of three books, including the CEO Reads best-seller The Power of Why; Breaking Out in a Competitive Marketplace, as well as the international best-seller Opening Closed Doors; Keys to Reaching Hard to Reach People. Richard’s extensive writings on marketplace distinction, communicating value and elevating the customer experience are often featured on WSJ online, FORBES, FundFire, and GAMANews Journal to name a few. He has founded three businesses, two of which have been recognized as ground breaking enterprises in their sectors. He is the Managing Partner of Weylman Consulting Group, a research based consulting firm that monitors consumer behaviors and desires to help clients elevate business performance in today’s marketplace. As a former Rolls Royce executive and the former head of Sales and Marketing for The Robb Report, he was one of the first to identify the need for and the process for effective relational segmentation among consumers. Since then, he has continued to establish a worldwide reputation for his exceptional ability to “see” the customer’s perspective.

    Personally: Richard was orphaned at the age of six, and spent his childhood living in 19 different foster homes and attending 11 different schools. However, he has always framed that life experience as great training; “no problem meeting and connecting with new people!” He is an avid fan of fast cars, slow dancing, and medium rare entrees.

    He believes in philanthropy and provides ongoing support for many organizations including: The Smoky Mountain Children’s Home, By the Hand Kids Clubs, and the Iris B. Vest Widow’s Care Center.

    Today Richard has several business interests because he is passionate about helping others elevate their business performance.

    Personal and Professional Recognition: On a personal level, Richard has been recognized for his work on behalf of others by several organizations, including a nomination for the prestigious Horatio Alger Award. This award recognizes outstanding individuals in our society who have succeeded in the face of adversity and pursue dreams with determination and perseverance.

    Professionally he has been recognized by his peers for his contributions and was inducted into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame. This lifetime achievement award is given to experts who speak and who have reached the top echelon of platform excellence.

    He is also the recipient of the Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE.) Additionally, Richard has earned the designation of Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) from the National Speakers Association and has received the Direct Selling Association’s Partnership Award, for outstanding contributions to member companies.

    In Summary: Richard and his entire team are committed to ‘elevating the business performance of every individual and business’ with whom they have the privilege of working. This is not a slogan or tag line; rather it is his and their promise of outcome.

    Breaking Out in a Crowded & Competitive Marketplace

    This message, fully tailored to your audience’s prospects and service, keys off a fundamental change in 21st century business: the shift in power from the seller to the customer. Richard illustrates why being “different” is no longer enough to stand out with buyers. He articulates the new perspective all potential customers (whether B2B or B2C) now seek before engaging with any business or sales professional. Richard will deliver specific strategies and tactics on how to reshape marketing and sales messages based upon this new perspective to deliver more inquires, more sales and profitable growth. This research based keynote will change your attendee’s thinking about how customers really choose the business with which they want to engage and WHY they actually buy from them.

    Discover How to Recruit & Retain Quality People to Your Team

    The greatest cost to any organization is recruiting individuals who do not perform at high levels and thus are not retained. This keynote presentation equips every participant with the mindset and skill set to position their opportunity and recruit the best instead of settling for the rest!

    Distribution companies, franchisors and financial firms have achieved extraordinary results from the innovative strategies and tactics Richard delivers in this presentation. Focusing on the knowledge that, unless you build your organization on the right people, you really have nothing that will last. This comprehensive message clearly defines a step by step process that will enable your leadership to recruit the best people and actually keep them on your team.

    How to Communicate Real Value & Stop Discounting to Buy the Business

    The economic recession ushered in an era of heavy discounting as a way to drive more business activity and perceived value. However, things have changed dramatically in how customers now define value for their money. The continued use of discounting of fees and prices is seriously eroding margins and overall profitability. Using his landmark Advantage Based Selling Matrix, Richard demonstrates how customers and prospects now define value and how audience members can effectively communicate the value of their products and services. With example after example Richard illustrates the new thinking required and actions anyone can take to avoid joining the race to the bottom of pricing or fees. Regardless of what sales process or sales system currently being used, communicating value solely from the customers perspective is the only way to convey REAL value.

    Turning “Satisfied” Customers into Loyal Brand Advocates

    Satisfied customers may be “satisfied” with the product or services they receive from a firm but they certainly are not delighted advocates. In point of fact, satisfied customers are loyalty neutral. Given an opportunity to take their business elsewhere – they will!

    Richard’s innovative approach and unique formula to effectively move satisfied customers to delighted advocacy has direct application for every organizational leader, sales professional and customer service provider. Based on years of experience and hundreds of hours of recent consumer and business owner interviews, Richard provides real strategies and specific actionable tactics that can be executed immediately.

    The Next Big Thing Beyond Social Media

    In a world of tactile social media, connecting with customers now requires moving far beyond generic rapport building and presumed chemistry. With a real world look at the psychology that now drives customer behavior, Richard’s ongoing research and keen insight into the 21st century customer’s mindset will provide attendees with the knowledge and specific actions they need to deeply connect with customers in marketing, sales and service activities.

    He will illustrate how social media has provided excellent opportunities for connectivity, but has now spawned a craving for personalized and humanized interaction. Richard’s real world approach on how to meet the customers desire for this interaction has enabled audiences worldwide in every industry to move beyond just being on social media to the next big thing!
