Steven Little Speaking Topics

  • BREAKOUT SESSION: The Ten T’s of Customer Acquisition & Retention: Proven Initiatives For Building Relationships and Profits

    Today, business interested in growth are looking to improve their customer relationships to increase sales, lower costs and maximize profits. Short on theory, long on practical advice, Steve examines how today’s most successful organizations are transforming the way in which they acquire and retain customers. Through concepts such as “touches,” “telepathy,” and “timebombs,” this no-nonsense discussion will help your group build customer-centric processes that lead to sustainable growth.

  • The Future of Opportunity: A 20/20 Vision of Your Success

    In this exciting and thought-providing keynote, Steve helps audiences focus on their near-term future. By identifying the most impactful macro-changes taking place in our world today, and dovetailing them with the specific developments within your industry or organization, Steve illuminates the future of opportunity and success for your group over the next 3 to 15 years. No crystal ball or tea leaves here…just factual, down-to-earth information your group will find interesting, entertaining and actionable.

  • The Milkshake Moment: Overcoming Stupid Systems, Pointless Policies and Muddled Management to Realize Real Growth

    Growth. It’s the central focus for nearly every organization and leader. So why then do so many organizations, both big and small, continually find ways to shoot themselves in the proverbial foot? In this humorous, yet insightful keynote presentation, Steve shows you how to identify and overcome the growth-stifling behaviors inherent in any organization and how you can lead the way toward substantive change and real growth.

  • Duck and (re)Cover: The Embattled Business Owner’s Guide to Survival and Growth

    Little’s timely new keynote clearly identifies the ways in which today’s business growth leaders can both prevail and prosper in the midst of economic uncertainty. As the former President of three fast growth companies, Little imparts lessons learned in the trenches and couples that personal perspective with his decade-long experience working with resilient business growth leaders. Having already weathered three economic downturns, he brings a unique perspective on what works (and what doesn’t) in challenging times like these. Focusing first on the most immediate challenges facing any organization’s leadership, he challenges much of the conventional wisdom regarding how business leaders “should” react to a recession. Little then highlights the inevitable opportunities created by economic downturns.

    This presentation provides specific answers regarding those areas in which leaders need to concentrate their time, money and effort in today’s volatile world. Short on theory and long on actionable advice, he helps growth-oriented leaders best position themselves for both survival and growth in the 21st century.

    Your audience will learn:

    • Stark New Realities
    • Creative Cash Controls
    • Proactive Planning Techniques
    • Efficient Marketing Strategies
    • Proven Growth Initiatives

  • The 7 Irrefutable Rules of Business Growth: 21st Century Strategies for Building Your Company

    More than any other objective, businesses want to grow. In this, his most popular keynote, Steve investigates what it takes to grow your business both effectively and profitably. Through his personal experience as a growth expert (both as a growth consultant and as President of three fast growth companies) and studies of the Inc. 500 (America’s fastest growing privately held companies) Steve identifies those best practices of organizations that achieve sustained and profitable growth.
