GREATER HOUSTON SPEAKERS BUREAU

jigyo.com has established a speakers bureau for the Greater Houston, DFW, San Antonio, and Austin areas to bring together groups looking for speakers on various issues and speakers looking for groups to speak to on a regular basis.

Think of this web page as a directory to the Texas Triangle community - where we can bring a world of ideas and issues to our state. From the turbulent troubles of Texas' youth to ethnic conflicts around the globe, we would like speakers that can address the topics that impact us all. We look forward to working with you.

We would like speakers that are available for Association & Corporate Events, Incentives, Retreats, Conferences, Conventions, Sales Training, Motivational Meetings, Workshops, and Seminars.

If you would like to be considered as a member of our speakers bureau - send us your name, topic, and how to reach you (submission). We will post it for the world to see and hopefully assist groups in their quest for speakers.
If you are looking for a speaker, e-mail us (speaker request), e-mail the speaker, or call the speaker of your choice. Please be prepared to discuss the proposed speaking date & time, and the amount of time you would want the speaker to be with your group.

Effective Credit Management: "Credit Management is More Than Just Collecting Money"

At some point, a business must begin to extend credit in order to increase sales. Often, though, credit is extended without any consideration given to the risk involved. With a proper credit management program, a business benefits from shorter collection periods on receivables, increased cash flow, more sales and higher profits. Receivables are typically a firm's largest asset -- learn how to protect your investment.

Change is Inevitable -- Deal With It: "Managing Change"

The business environment is always changing. We can't prevent change, but we can prepare for it and we can manage it. You should control the change process, not be controlled by it. In this presentation we will look at the causes of change, how to recognize the signs of change and what you can to facilitate and manage the change process. But having a plan to manage the process is not enough. Employee resistance is often fatal to many change initiatives. Learn how to reduce your employees' resistance and increase their support for your program to implement changes that are crucial to the success -- and survival -- of your business.

The Five P's of Management: "Proper Planning to Prevent Poor Performance"

To paraphrase a famous saying, if you don't know where you are going, any road will get you nowhere and you won't know when you have arrived. Planning is essential to maximizing your opportunities for growth, income and success. Proper planning is a process of identifying opportunities and obstacles, then analyzing corporate resources to make an informed decision. Benefits of proper planning include clearly defined target markets, anticipating financial needs, managing sales growth and employing the best people.

Strategic Marketing Planning: "Guidelines for Preparing a Marketing Plan and Strategy"

Strategic marketing planning matches a firm's present and future resources with anticipated future marketplace opportunities. It is a process to identify, evaluate, and choose alternative courses of action to accomplish desired objectives. To be meaningful, strategic marketing planning must become a way of life, an attitude, and an ongoing process of strategic thinking by management. In this presentation, we look at how to establish an effective marketing plan and a management control system to monitor progress against the plan.
