<strong>IDA</strong>Expo Education at Nashville Aims for New Heights!<br />
You can’t afford to miss the 2013 <strong>IDA</strong><strong>EXPO</strong>!<br />
IDEA is producing a line-up of professional and industry presenters<br />
that will cover issues of importance to virtually every member of the<br />
door and access systems industry.<br />
Bill Rossiter - Branding and the New<br />
Normal<br />
Within every market condition (especially the most<br />
challenging ones), each company is faced with<br />
making a choice. And, deciding to not make a<br />
choice is still making a choice – it’s merely a choice<br />
to not take action. Many companies have chosen<br />
this path – to sit and wait for the housing starts to come back, and<br />
hope for it to return to “normal” again.<br />
Successful leaders see opportunity in change or gaps in the market,<br />
no matter how severe the change. To these leaders, what we are<br />
experiencing today is our New Normal. Only when you choose to<br />
accept and truly embrace it, will you have the chance to create a<br />
sustainable and profitable business model.<br />
The key question we will discuss in this session is: What is the New<br />
Normal, and how can I perform successfully in it?<br />
We will also discuss the power of Branding and powerfully<br />
positioning yourself and your business for success within this New<br />
Normal. Come listen, learn and discuss and see if you are ready to<br />
embrace the New Normal.<br />
Nancy Friedman – How to be an Island<br />
of Excellence in an Ocean of Mediocrity<br />
There is a mass of grey average out there. You know<br />
it and we know it. You can remain in that mass<br />
and be like all the others or come along with the<br />
Telephone Doctor and raise the bar.<br />
No matter where you are within the company, owner, management<br />
or staff, knowing where you fall in the customer service arena<br />
compared to where you need to be is an eye opening experience.<br />
FACTS:<br />
• 8 out of 10 people who won’t be doing business with you ever<br />
again won’t tell you that. They just go away.<br />
• 8 out of 10 people will tell 11 others how bad you are.<br />
• 1 out of 10 will tell others how good you are.<br />
Nancy starts with the Telephone Doctor’s 10 Point Self-<br />
Assessment Quiz. This helps you evaluate your current situation<br />
and identify the gap between where you are in the customer service<br />
arena and where you need to be. After you do the quiz, Nancy takes<br />
you through each of the 10 points and gives you solid information<br />
you can apply immediately.<br />
You just gotta work smarter, not harder. And this program<br />
shows you how to do just that.<br />
Hell Hath No Fury Like a Customer Scorned<br />
This is a unique program blending sales and customer service skills<br />
that delivers the Telephone Doctor’s famous FIVE FORBIDDEN<br />
PHRASES. The five phrases that are guaranteed to frustrate your<br />
customers.<br />
Nancy Friedman, the Telephone Doctor, knows the positive<br />
alternatives. She’ll share them with you and you’ll be glad she did.<br />
It’s a wealth of information designed to increase your sales and<br />
customer service.<br />
What are you and your staff saying that turns your customers off and<br />
makes them run to the competition instead of turning them ON....<br />
and staying with you?<br />
A content rich program designed to get your customers swearing BY<br />
you, not AT you! It’s a laugh out loud session where you’ll walk away<br />
with techniques you’ll use immediately and forever.<br />
Kim Wiest - Marketing is Not What You<br />
Do When the Phone Stops Ringing!<br />
How is your company positioned to compete<br />
during the course of the next three to five<br />
years? In addition to advertising and selling your<br />
products and services, are you building a brand for<br />
your business that will serve as your signature in your market? Many<br />
door dealers spend their dollars in pursuit of the next customer<br />
without a proper strategy. Kim Wiest is the President of Platinum<br />
Marketing Group, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and she has helped<br />
develop some of the most innovative and successful advertising<br />
and marketing campaigns for door dealers throughout the country.<br />
Kim will discuss a variety of relevant issues surrounding branding,<br />
advertising, new media and sales. Her session will give you specific<br />
ideas, along with methods for carrying them out to your customers.<br />
Cathy Sexton – I.G.N.I.T.E. Your<br />
Performance and Accelerate Results<br />
Improve your daily productivity significantly<br />
by using this 6-step proven process, developed<br />
by one of the nation’s top productivity strategists.<br />
Cathy Sexton has been helping others lead healthy<br />
and productive lives since experiencing the risks associated with<br />
being a workaholic herself. She now coaches and trains people how<br />
to spend more time with family, enjoy their careers and live a lessstressed<br />
– but more productive – lifestyle.<br />
Her methods will help attendees regain clarity and focus, allowing them<br />
to become more productive, increasing income, while working fewer<br />
hours. Discover your natural productivity style – learn to save time, money<br />
and energy as you ignite your performance and accelerate your results.<br />
Creating Powerful Teams<br />
Ms. Sexton will follow her I.G.N.I.T.E. session with a breakout seminar<br />
aimed at helping company leaders produce organizations that<br />
collectively operate at peak performance as well. Having an office<br />
staff and field technicians operating at maximum productivity and<br />
efficiency is not something that just happens. Strategies that<br />
motivate employees without alienating them require insight<br />
and skill that you will learn in this session.<br />
Tom Hubler – Succeeding at Succession<br />
Thomas M. Hubler is recognized as a national<br />
authority on the subject of family business issues,<br />
having more than 35 years experience in the<br />
field, and bringing a background as a marriage<br />
and family therapist into it with him. Hubler has
played a major role in shaping the field of family business<br />
consultation, having assisted colleges and universities establish<br />
family business institutes and working with thousands of families in<br />
their business enterprises. And, while his credentials are boundless,<br />
the most important thing for door and access dealers engaged in<br />
family-owned businesses will learn:<br />
• Challenges and advantages associated with family businesses<br />
• Obstacles to successful management succession<br />
• Major pitfalls in succession planning<br />
• Factors that affect the planning process<br />
• Key recommendations for effective succession<br />
Widely quoted by national media, including The New York Times,<br />
Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Corporate Report and Nation’s<br />
Business, Tom Hubler will provide door dealers with a wealth of<br />
information about succeeding at succession in a family business.<br />
Bruce McConnell – Math Meets<br />
Emotion: The Process of Valuating<br />
Your Business<br />
When selling any business, having an<br />
understanding of how a realistic value was<br />
determined can provide the additional<br />
confidence a seller needs as they embark on any meaningful<br />
discussions of this value with others. In addition to organizing and<br />
summarizing financial information, the process of valuing a business<br />
also involves taking some other important steps that allow owners to<br />
comfortably support the story that needs to be communicated to a<br />
prospective buyer as they focus in on their buying decision.<br />
The valuation process is often where ‘math meets emotion’, and<br />
many small business owners find it to be a very overwhelming event<br />
to not only initiate, but also to navigate through successfully. Too<br />
often, this includes the garage door dealer’s focus being placed on<br />
the value of the business assets, rather than its ability to produce<br />
cash flow.<br />
This seminar provides a valuable overview of what a seller needs<br />
to understand and consider as they prepare and assemble the<br />
information and team members needed to establish a value for their<br />
company. So, regardless of the reasons, and whether you are ready<br />
to sell your business yet or not, get valuable insight into the process<br />
involved with valuation to help you maximize your return when the<br />
time comes.<br />
Tim Castello – Change Your Selling<br />
Approach to Increase Sales<br />
In times when most businesses are competing<br />
on price, how do you stand out? This seminar,<br />
led by Tim Castello of Miller Edge, will use practical<br />
exercises to demonstrate how using expertise, and<br />
in-depth knowledge of door and access system products, is more<br />
compelling to customers than a willingness to reduce price, in<br />
most instances.<br />
Attendees will take away:<br />
• A different perspective on making the most of sales opportunities<br />
• Fundamentals of assessing risks associated with automated doors<br />
• How to communicate risks in order to establish expertise in the<br />
sales process<br />
• A systematic and effective approach to increasing sales<br />
• Sales skills that can be used on manually or electrically operated<br />
sectional, rolling, high speed and fabric doors<br />
This presentation will provide every attendee with ideas and<br />
new approaches to sales opportunities, which are proven to be<br />
successful.<br />
Brian Schoolman –<br />
The Top Legal Issues Facing<br />
Door Dealers<br />
2013 and beyond could be a challenging time<br />
for all small businesses, particularly those in<br />
construction related fields. Regulatory changes,<br />
government mandates, local issues, ongoing efforts to comply with<br />
EPA lead-based paint rules and many other activities will have an<br />
impact on door companies. Brian Schoolman, of Safran Law Offices<br />
will provide a briefing on the issues that could have the greatest<br />
impact on door dealers, and he’ll offer advice on how to best<br />
approach how attendees address them.<br />
John Zoller &<br />
Dr. David Bowen -<br />
Economic Forecast<br />
Once again, long-time financial<br />
experts John Zoller and Dr. David<br />
Bowen will close the two-day<br />
educational agenda with an<br />
economic forecast for the door and access systems industry.<br />
Knowing what’s ahead will enable dealers to better position<br />
their businesses to maximize opportunities and succeed in any<br />
economic climate.<br />
For the Technicians…<br />
A new two-day training school has been created by the<br />
IDEA board of directors, in partnership with an industry<br />
faculty of experts in rolling steel doors, including rolling steel<br />
fire doors. The course will cover all of the content covered<br />
in two of the IDEA Technician Certification study guides –<br />
Commercial Rolling Door Systems and Rolling Steel Fire Doors<br />
– and serve as a thorough immersion in the products for<br />
technicians new to the commercial field, as well as an exam<br />
preparation course for certification candidates.<br />
The courses will run throughout the two-day educational<br />
agenda at the <strong>IDA</strong>Expo, and will close on Thursday with<br />
optional examinations for all technicians who are registered<br />
for either or both of the certification programs. IDEA is<br />
introducing a special new bundled program to enable<br />
technicians to earn both of these certifications at a reduced<br />
fee, and by making testing conveniently available at the<br />
close of the two-day school.<br />

Course, visit www.dooreducation.com.
Keynote Speaker<br />
Steve Rizzo<br />
“The attitude adjuster”<br />
Visit www.idaexpo.org to learn<br />
more about Steve Rizzo and see<br />
videos of his performance!<br />
After being told by a guidance counselor that he didn’t have the intelligence<br />
for college, and having been saddled with the dubious high school<br />
honor of “Least Likely to Succeed,” Steve Rizzo didn’t give himself much of a<br />
chance to emerge as anything special.<br />
After high school, Rizzo would go on to surprise everyone, including himself, by<br />
excelling with honors at the university and post-graduate levels.<br />
Perhaps the most unexpected aspect of Rizzo’s career was the stellar degree<br />
of success he achieved as a performer, sharing the stage with Jerry<br />
Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Ellen DeGeneres.<br />
As a professional speaker, Rizzo offers a unique and insightful perspective<br />
on the journey that brought him to where he stands today.<br />
Rizzo’s quest to remove the boundaries that were keeping him from<br />
the life he truly desired has brought his work full circle and he now<br />
understands that all of his past experiences were necessary to prepare<br />
him for his true calling: to help people learn to be happy and<br />
successful no matter what their current circumstances are. “If they<br />
laugh while they learn,” says Rizzo, “then that’s just a bonus.”<br />
