FreeHow to Build High-Performing Teams with Robert Manasier
Robert Manasier is part of the elite club of serial entrepreneurs who seem to consistently – and effortlessly – strike gold. He’s launched 155 companies, sold over $1B in sales, and raised $100M for startups and $350M for next-level growth companies.
Today, as CEO of his private-label acceleration firm, In Focus Brands, he deploys teams that offer organizational change strategy and branded execution systems to get companies on the right path. Robert’s idea for the firm came to fruition when he saw an opportunity to help other entrepreneurs avoid making the same mistakes he has made during his entrepreneurial journey.
“A brand is not a logo to me, it’s a system,” says Robert. “And in order to achieve success you have to start by building the right team.
“At In Focus Brands we’ve launched 155 companies with about a 70 percent success rate on true startups, which is 10 times more than the national average.”
In a global keynote for Founders Network on July 19, Robert will share his entrepreneurial journey and provide tips for developing loyal, and high-performing teams. He’ll also share how he has refined his process for hiring quality employees and achieved a near 100 percent retention rate for the companies he’s led.
His keynote will cover:
- The fail-proof process for hiring the right people
- The value of working with people who say ‘No’
- How to develop a working culture that puts people first
- The best process for identifying your weaknesses and getting out of your own way
- How to start your own journey toward building a 100% retention team
