"Larry Ransom was the perfect presenter choice with his TAG! You're it! Book and Workshop! He moved and inspired our team members to Take Ultimate Responsibility for the results they will produce this year at both the individual and team level. He expertly delivered a presentation of the key essentials for individual and team greatness that was full of power and impact. I was fully engaged when he shared what’s possible when team members come to work, not just by 'default,' but with a Committed Intention that will drive the individual and organizational success to the next level.

Our team members left the gathering energized and inspired to bring more passion, purpose and creativity to the workplace and take their performance to the next level to meet our department’s 2011 goals.”

--Arthur Rubinfeld, President - Global Store Development for Starbucks Coffee Company

"Since working with Larry Ransom and The Synergy Network, we as a company have raised our sales and service standards to new heights. We are now committed to having people come to work with clarity of mind of what they are intending to accomplish for each day. Prior to the workshop we were hoping our staff would understand and be a part of our culture. Larry has given us the key to unlock the door of communication. We are learning to speak, coach and ask with clarity so that we may all achieve the desired result.

I see key people having fewer excuses for why they can’t produce in this economy and begin to take responsibility and ownership for their role as designers, service and sales experts. The excitement of a job well done is contagious and so important to living with passion in all aspects at home and at work.

We have learned the importance of slowing down and taking the necessary time to really listen to our clients desires and dreams so that we can provide for them not only the products and services they are looking for but an experience that actually enhances their lives.

Larry has inspired us to raise the bar for what we think is possible despite the economy and to take ownership of our power to create great experiences for our customers and off-the-chart results for our business."

--Linda Schoener, Owner - Henredon & Schoener

"I saw a dramatic leap in my sales immediately after completing the TAG Sales Training course. I had only been working at Henredon and Schoener for a few months but my sales went from 40K the month before the training to 150K the month after. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found all of the information that was provided relevant. I loved that there was no script to follow, Larry provided the tools for success but each individual can tailor these tools to best fit their circumstances and needs. Some of the smallest changes I made after the training made the biggest difference."

--Tara Glover, Sales and Design Associate - Heredon & Schoener

"After doing the TAG! You’re it! Sales and Service Workshop with The Synergy Network, my team is more responsible for their professional success. The team has a greater sense for what it means to take ownership and produce results, ‘no matter what.’

My people now know among other things that the economy, our inventory or our location are no longer excuses for poor performance. The team is intentionally ‘in action,’ accessing their own creative resources, not staring out the window and waiting for something to happen. They are now focused and engaged in a game-plan that they are passionate about and taking daily actions needed to keep them moving forward towards greater success.

Larry Ransom did a great job with getting our team to understand that the client today is not merely purchasing a vehicle but an ‘experience’ that vehicle will give them, as well as a highly desirable ‘sales and service experience.' He shared that the key to being more effective as sales people is to slow down, really listen to the client, understand what the client wants to experience and then do our best to give them what they want.

Larry helped my team to understand that you can’t close a deal, until you take the time to open it up, really listen to the customer."

--Ken Wheadon, Owner - Speedway Chevrolet, Monroe

"I have been in the car business for 30 years in Mgmt/Sales and have been involved with every type of motivational training out there and by far Larry's Program, ‘Tag! You’re it,’ is the best! Most programs get you jacked up for a few days and then boom right back where you left off. Larry's program has stuck with us here at Speedway Chevrolet and everyone is still working the program and THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX continues. No more looking out the window on the ‘hope program’ for my team. Larry's team was simply great and the follow-up is wonderful! These days the car business continues to be a challenge, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! A+ rating for Tag! You’re it! Programs."

--David Bailey, General Sales Manager - Speedway Chevrolet

"Late last year, the mortgage industry was having its usual turmoil and as a Manager of a mortgage branch, I reached out to Larry and his team to help me and my team navigate the personal and profession pitfalls that seem to pop up on a daily basis. What a difference it made. My vision became clearer, my attitude changed for the better and I was able to refocus on the items that really matter on a day to day basis. Thanks The Synergy Network!"

--Andrew Austin, Branch Manager - Axia Financial

"Thank you for the outstanding job you did for our annual seminar. Your presentation was loaded with ideas we can make work immediately and in the future. Discussions on how to improve one’s attitude and personal accountability are very difficult to share but you did a great job."

--Ronald R. Butler, President - Executive Recruiters

"Thank you for the excellent job you did with the leadership and communication project for my department.

The work you did helped my direct reports to work and communicate more effectively with each other and me. It gave me insight as a leader of what worked in my leadership style and what needed improvement. I have been able to make significant progress in areas such as decision making style, making commitments and being more timely and complete in my communications based on your guidance. The work you did in the data collection, analysis and presentation enabled us to break down the broad problems and focus on the core issues. I feel this was one of the keys to the strong progress we have made to date.

The offsite seminar helped my team come together and deal with each other as a leadership team. It was one of the most useful/valuable offsite seminars I have attended at Microsoft."

--Craig Symonds, General Manager - Microsoft

"What a pleasure it was to share the stage with you at the prestigious Free Enterprise Forum in Los Angeles!

As you know, I have been an instructor since 1994. I have seen many teachers come and go. You are a memorable one! You tell the people what they need to hear and convince them that personal responsibility is not only helpful…it is absolutely mandatory.

You gently but forcefully, lovingly and firmly, introduce them to themselves and where they can grow and prosper. Success really is an inside job!

Your vision of creating a more self-accountable world is shared by so many of us who want to make a difference in people’s lives.

I commend and endorse your method and wish you every success!"

"I had always viewed my organization from the perspective of the outside looking in. I thought I had a pulse on our business successes based on the volumes flowing through our organization – which had always been the measurement in which corporate rated our branch.

The only aspect missing from this was determining what we stood for as a team. Larry Ransom helped me analyze our team from the inside-out starting with myself as the team leader. Larry helped me expose the cracks in our team’s armor and then coached me through team building and more importantly –team alignment.

Larry taught us that to find fulfillment in our work and our relationships, we had to define our presence in our interactions with each other as well as our clientele. He coached us through operationally defining behaviors that defined our core values. He helped the members of my team understand the value of “being” a person that lives their core values, rather than one that only speaks of them.

Larry Ransom made it possible for me to see things and hear things within the organization that I had never been exposed to. Without his expertise, we would still be running great numbers; instead, we have chosen to “be” a world class organization that offers services to Great People.
