Fun Is Good Veeck Seminar ::

Date: Friday November 13, 2009

Fun Is Good

July 31, 2009, 8:00am - 5:00pm

In business today, it is no longer enough to do the same old thing.

When the Economy Tanks…You Don’t Have To

An economic downturn challenges organizations to tap into innovative strategies to still grow business while providing the best customer service possible. And that doesn’t mean, as some people think, that it results in not having fun at work or not having a relaxed staff.

Fun Is Good is a one day conference that will show you how to empower your workplace, and help your business or organization achieve success. No matter what your role is in an organization, you'll learn that laughter isn't only the best medicine-- it can be the key ingredient in turning a floundering business into a profitable one or jump-start a stalled career.

You don’t have to work hard to work well. Fun is all about creativity, innovation, play, experimentation, progress, and seeing real things come to life. If you make fun an enemy of business, you’re limiting the impact these desirable concepts can create. Make work fun and you'll create a culture of creativity where the best people will want to work and customers will want to spend their money.

What You Will Learn:

Why customer service, the lifeblood of any business, suffers when employees aren't having fun at work

How a few people with the Fun Is Good attitude can transform a workplace no matter the economic situation

What companies should look for when hiring people and how employees can forge a Fun Is Good career path

Keynote speakers, including Mike Veeck and Al Fahden, and break-out forums will address a cross-section of sales, marketing, promotion and operational issues. From customer service to building per-cap sales, staging the best promotions to corporate sales, the 2009 Fun Is Good Conference offers fresh ideas, encourages creative problem solving and provides a venue to exchange ideas.
