The Cowboys made the playoffs every year of Reeves playing career, reaching the Super Bowl twice and winning Super Bowl VI with a 24-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Reeves coaching career began when he joined the Dallas coaching staff in 1970, taking on a dual role as player/ coach for three seasons.

During his 12-year tenure in Denver, Reeves guided the Broncos to six post-season appearances, including five divisional titles, three AFC championships and three Super Bowl appearances (Super Bowl XXI, XXII and XXIV).

educational seminars Sales Management; How to Hire a Winner and Compensation that Works. Sales Management: How to Hire a Winner... You ve decided that it s time to hire a salesperson, either to open new territory or to replace a salesperson who s leaving (or being discharged)! This can be an exciting time for a sign company, but it s also a dangerous time. You want to hire a top performer, not an underachiever who ll cost you time and money and never deliver a return on your investment. There s a lot more to hiring a winner than just running an ad in the paper or on monster.com. Learning Objectives How to profile the ideal candidate for your sales position The right questions to ask in the interview stage How to test for the most important success factors Sales Management: Compensation that Works... It s a sad fact that most sales compensation plans don t work very well. You want yours to motivate your salespeople to high performance, and it s sometimes hard to understand why the opportunity to earn more money doesn t do that. It turns out that the voice of the money often isn t clearly understood. This seminar is based on the principle that money talks, and it will show you how to make the money say what you want it to say, rewarding and reinforcing the performance you re looking for. Learning Objectives How to set your overall sales compensation budget How to use salary, commissions and bonuses to provide maximum motivational muscle How to add non-cash compensation to the mix Fall Protection The US Department of Labor (DOL) lists falls as one of the leading causes of traumatic occupational death, accounting for 8% of all occupational fatalities from trauma.
