My friend Gerhard Gschwandtner is the publisher of Selling Power Magazine.

This prestigious publication is hosting a Sales 2.0 conference on Social & Mobile Marketing in Santa Monica, CA on November 15, 2011 at the Fairmont Hotel. There will be multiple speakers from the corporate world on the highest and best uses of current media to reach prospects and build customer connections.

Here is the link to the impressive line-up of speakers: Speakers 

I’m participating in the conference and will be bringing my own contingent of 101 Leaders as well. It’s a power packed all day event that you won’t want to miss. See their website for the line up of speakers and on site experts. Also plan to be there so that you can access the sponsors and vendors and their special offers.

As a long time contributing author to Selling Power Magazine I’ve come to respect them as a power-resource and my go to source for sales insights. This month’s issue of the magazine is the Sales 500 (the nation’s top 500 sales forces). Let me know if you’d like to receive a copy.

Special Offer: Since I’m participating in the conference I have the ability to offer some very special values to my colleagues, clients and friends from here in the “101 Corridor.” Let me know if you are interested in being my guest at this event. I have a limited number of hosted enrollments available and I’m happy to help you and your leadership team to get this vital information. Email me at jim@101leaders.com or call me at 805-777-3477 right away.

And, just for fun, here’s a video link for an interview Gerhard did with me about my “Most Memorable Sale.” I think you’ll enjoy it.

Harley-Davidson Story with special feature at the end

by Motivation Expert & Sales Consultant, Jim Cathcart

Since we were formed in 2002, 101 Leaders has operated under an assortment of names: “The 101 Leaders Summit, The 101 Leaders Institute, and The 101 Leaders Alliance.”

This past week we were contacted by the folks who own the trademark for “The Leaders Institute®” Their legal team felt that our use of the phrase “Leaders Institute” infringed on their trademark and they asked us to drop it. After, as you’d expect, much discussion we decided to do so. Despite the fact that we have been using that name for 8 years it just made better sense to shift our name that challenge the trademark.

In the future, our official name will be “The 101 Leaders Alliance” which is a name we currently use as part of our overall corporation Cathcart Institute, Inc. So, if you see any of our materials with Institute instead of Alliance, please don’t be confused, it is still us. We are just in process with the changeover. Our logos and printed materials will be changed in the next cycle of printing, so there will still be some
“Institute” overlap.

The plans for The 101 Leaders in the coming year include: Seminars, Coaching, Webinars, Radio Shows, Podcasts, Articles, Speeches, Special Appearances, Discussion Groups and Parlor “Salon” discussions. If you need our help in developing the “Get Things Done” skills of your team, please contact us and let’s “git ‘er done” as Larry The Cable Guy® says.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and may your 2011 be a Prosperous and Meaningful Year!

In the Spirit of Growth,

Jim Cathcart
