Funny Speaker Golf Swing- Does It Work?

Ever get stuck with a tree in your backswing? This guy (who clearly has WAY too much time on his hands) came up with his “windmill” swing.

I must say…this is one funny golf swing. Not just funny in the sense of humor but also weird looking. Personally, I think that this starting the club forward of the ball is not really necessary but I can see the logic in that he wants to create as much momentum in the swing as possible. But really, if the club can travel in a clear path like that on a vertical plane, why would you not just use a vertical backswing?

Regardless, it may be worth a try next time you get against the pines. And hopefully it gave you a laugh at least for his creativity :)

Whaddya you guys think? Is this one funny golf swing or what?

Awesome (simple) Drill for More Distance

As many of you know, I have a passion for Golf.  today, I’m starting a new series of posts that I hope will help you improve your Golf game.

C’mon, admit it.  You want to hit it longer, don’t you?

Of course you do.  We ALL do.

(view the video below)

But it’s not about distance necessarily.  To be completely honest, it’s about ego and power. And while you all may not agree with me, you have to admit that added distance will certainly translate to a strong significant spike in your confidence.

And when you have that type of confidence two things happen:

1. You get more aggressive with your game which leads to to more scoring opportunities.
2. You have more FUN.

Before we go any further though let me warn you.  If you add those 20 yards I promise you, you’re gonna make some people mad.  Specifically, your golfing buddies and playing partners.

In fact, you’ll HUMILIATE them, making them feel like a mouse standing next to an elephant with your new distance prowess.

And yes, they’ll secretly ENVY your new power.

Best of all, they’ll wonder “HOW THE HECK DOES HE/SHE DO THAT???”

Funny Speaker-Unique Look at Customer Service

THE ULTIMATE STUPID CONTEST!!-Funny Speaker

Kit Grant-Funny SpeakerI read an article this week about a Wendy’s Restaurant manager who was shot by a disgruntled customer. It seems the customer wanted more chili sauce for his drive-through meal but was told the company policy prohibits customers from getting more than three packets. The customer wanted 10! The female attendant complied but the customer was still argumentative and when the manager came out to inform him of customer policy, he was shot …
but is expected to recover.

Now by NO means am I saying shooting the manager was O.K. — this customer is obviously far beyond reason but I’m also confused by the 3 packet policy. Is the “theft” of chili sauce a huge problem for Wendy’s? Are there a lot of complaints about not having enough chili sauce? If so, why not just make the packets bigger? If it’s an infrequent request that people receive more than 3, then give a customer who asks for more as many as needed — chances are pretty good he did not start out asking for 10, it just escalated to that level as the “Stupid Contest” got stupider!

I hope Wendy’s rewards the manager for protecting chili sauce to the point of getting shot for it.

The shooter was stupid, the policy is stupid …
it’s the ultimate stupid contest example.
Amazing! Oh yeah, the customer drove off and has not been caught yet.

I was in an A & W the other day when a family presented three coupons for food specials and was told they could only use one per visit. I’m thinking, buy some stuff, leave, come back in, buy stuff, leave, come back in and get everything you wanted. If you attach a whole bunch of rules to coupon redemption that just annoys people, why offer the coupons in the first place?

**The 1% rule of service stupidity says that because 1% of people (or even 10%!!!) will try and rip you off what you need are policies that alienate the remaining 99% so the 1% never gets to you! Waytago guys — Wendy’s managers with bullet proof vests, coming to a neighborhood near you soon.

Funny Speaker-Emotional Labor.

Cutomer Service_Who really cares_Kit GrantThe Funny Speaker asks “Are you getting better or worse?”

Service !! Who really cares anymore? Are you getting better or worse as a
service provider? Would you do business with yourself even though alternatives
existed? What constitutes above average customer service that will set you apart
from all competitors?

Kit Grant the Funny Speaker says

“Service can be defined as a process whereby client/customer needs are
identified and consistently met to produce WIN/WIN outcomes.” There are several
components to this definition.

• it is a process. This means it is an on-going “living” thing, not an end result. You
cannot start and stop your service delivery. It is not something you do — it is
something you are! It involves everyone providing excellent internal and external
service. It is not the exclusive realm of any one department, group or individual. It
must be the foundation on which everything else is based.

• you need to identify customer needs. How often is this done on a regular basis?
Aren’t many organizations more concerned with having their needs met rather
than those of the customer? If you made available to customers what they really
wanted (or needed), is it conceivable they would purchase more of your products
and services, be more loyal and refer additional business to you?

• consistency is the target. Have you ever had the experience as a customer of
going somewhere and it was great? You went again a second time and it was
great! On the third visit, you took a friend … and the experience was not very
good. Your friend wonders why you had been so enamored with this business. IF
you dare to go back for a fourth time, by yourself, you discover it is still really
good. The fifth experience is even better, which means visit #3 must have been a
one-time glitch. On the sixth visit, you take another friend and it is very
disappointing. Now … you are starting to wonder about your friends!! No, it’s just
a consistency problem which plagues most service providers.

Kit Grant the Funny Speaker says

“Surveys have found it can take up to twelve positive service experiences to
overcome just one bad experience.”

• producing WIN/WIN outcomes occurs when the client and the service provider
feel good about themselves and, as a result, the organization benefits.
Delivering top-quality service on a consistent basis is not physical labor. It is
emotional labor. Many organizations see this as too great a price to pay. They
seek ways to by-pass the “agony” of having to deal with people rather than the
process. New technology provides a means of delivering goods and services
faster, more accurately and conveniently for all parties. There is no question
these tools have provided us with more options for getting things done as well as
increasing the opportunities to distance ourselves from the customer. Speeding
up the process allows us to deal with more people in a shorter time frame but we
must be diligent in not losing track of the client.

Excerpt from “Who Really Cares?” by Kit Grant – Funny Speaker

Keynote Speaker Kit Grant says “Innovate or Perish?”

Keynote speaker Kit Grant asks “are you getting better or worse?” Have you discovered some things which worked in the past are not as effective, if at all? Are your customers more demanding, your prospects more questioning and your suspects increasingly clever at “hiding”? Read the rest of this entry »

Confusion About Win/Win-Funny Speaker

If you are in sales or service, you have been exposed to the concept of WIN/WIN outcomes. Instead of looking at relationships with customers as a contest with only one “winner”, we are being told to look for opportunities for both parties to WIN. This is, of course, in direct conflict to most of our programming, sports and otherwise, which has told us there can only be one WINNER. Read the rest of this entry »

Success Strategies from the Corporate Keynote Speaker

The corporate Keynote speaker says that one constant in life is Change. The most frequent request I receive in seminars is for “easy to use” steps for handling inevitable change. I am not convinced there are any easy steps but I have learned a few which can help. Use them enthusiastically.

1. The Corporate Keynote Speaker says “KNOW THYSELF”

The more you know about yourself, the better prepared you will be to handle change. It’s when you don’t know what your strengths and limitations are that you sometimes panic during change and times of stress. Do a self-inventory at least twice a year … and then spend more time working on your strengths. If you want to improve a perceived weakness, fine … although a better option might be to hire someone who has that quality as one of their strengths. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever said something you regretted later? Have you ever just “lost it”? When anger controls your behaviors, you may be temporarily out of control. Usually, we can easily identify the person, event or circumstance causing us to react the way we do, whether appropriate or not. What we fail to realize is we hve more control than we imagine says Kit Grant the motivational speaker. Read the rest of this entry »

From the Funny Speaker Archives

Getting things done is a problem for many people says the funny speaker. Time Management seminars, books and associated audio tapes and video programs triumph the need for people to become more organized, learn to prioritize and distinguish between important and urgent tasks. Constant changes in our business and personal lives generate more tasks, paper and responsibilities. Through all of this, the time we have all been given, remains constant. Seminar participants in my funny speaker programs report increased levels of stress with “do more with less” becoming the standard rather than the exception.

Survive Stress with the Funny Speaker

People are in search of new ways to succeed, in some cases, just to survive our go, go, go world. With stress levels increasing, productivity levels decline, producing additional stress. Read the rest of this entry »
