Today, we have the great pleasure of speaking with Cleo Battle, the President and CEO of Louisville Tourism and the new Chair of the International Board of MPI! Cleo is an amazing person! He joins us today to share his inspiring journey and dive into what matters most for tourism and why every seat counts. We hope you enjoy listening to today's captivating conversation with Cleo Battle! Cleo Battle Biography: Cleo Battle, a hospitality industry veteran of nearly 35 years, currently serves as President & CEO of Louisville Tourism. Before coming to Louisville, he spent 12 years as Vice President of Sales & Services of the Richmond Convention & Visitors Bureau in Richmond, VA. He held the positions of Director of Sales and Sales Manager at the Richmond CVB. Battle began his hospitality career in the hotel industry by working for Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn, and Sheraton Hotels. Battle is a native of Denver and a graduate of Metropolitan State University in Denver with a bachelor's degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management. He earned his Master's of Business Administration in 1997 from Averett University in Virginia. He is both a Certified Destination Management Executive (CDME) and Certified Association Sales Executive (CASE). Battle's most recent industry recognition includes the Events Industry Council 2020 Social Impact award winner, Business First Louisville's inaugural Power 50 as well as The Courier-Journal's 12 People to Watch in 2021. Battle currently serves on the Meeting Planners International Board of Directors, the Kentucky Derby Museum Board of Directors, the Louisville Sports Commission Executive Board, the LRAA Board, the Kentucky State Fair Board, the Louisville Zoo Foundation Board, the Funds for the Arts Board, and the Board of the Northeast YMCA of Louisville. He is the Past Chair of Destination & Travel Foundation, Destination International Sales & Services Committee, and the Virginia State University Hospitality Department Advisory Board. Cleo's journey Cleo was a college track-and-field athlete. In his third year, he tore a leg muscle. He was still undecided about what he would major in at the time. So he spoke to a school counselor, and she suggested hotel restaurant management. He signed up for the course, started taking classes, and began working as an intern in a hotel. Hotel work came naturally to him, and he worked in many different positions. Then he got hired into the management training program for Promise Hotels, and his career took off! How athletics set Cleo up for success Learning how to run hurdles gave Cleo adaptability and flexibility. He also learned many other skills from athletics that he needed to grow and become successful in his career. A strong team Cleo truly understands the importance of having a strong team! He learned that you cannot do everything by yourself in business and that you are only as good as the people around you. His old boss from Richmond, Virginia, taught him that the key to any successful endeavor lies in hiring well. He used to tell Cleo to hire well, provide good resources, and then get the hell out of the way! Trust Trust is an essential ingredient for teamwork. People do much better when they work in a professional space where constructive criticism is valued, they can be honest about their thoughts, and they know that their opinions will be respected, regardless of what the leaders ultimately decide. Every seat matters At staff meetings, Cleo always tells his organization's members that every seat matters. He wants them to understand that regardless of whether they are the Director of Sales, a marketing manager, or an administrative assistant, their seat in the organization still matters! Enabling people Whenever there is new subject matter, Cleo enables his team by inviting them to share their thoughts and opinions and offer ideas. Cleo's current position Even though his current position as President and CEO of Louisville Tourism involves a lot of legislative work and more talk about politics than about customers, Cleo still feels it is vital to stay true to the core mission of Louisville Tourism and to bring visitors to the community. MPI Since the first of January, Cleo has been the Chair of MPI and serves on the International Board of Directors. He insists that his team has a growth mindset rather than a recovery mindset. The cost of doing business has changed. Since the pandemic, the cost of doing business has changed. So a lot of work has to be done on the industry brand to help those outside it see its value, what is being done, why it is important, and how the industry impacts people's lives. Getting more people to join the industry Cleo points out that hotels, convention centers, museums and attractions, restaurants, and airports cannot work from home. So the industry will need to figure out the right balance between automated and personal services, going forward. He believes the industry must invest in its brand to make more people aware of why it is such an exciting industry to join. Appreciation and acknowledgment Cleo believes that openly acknowledging his staff members and appreciating their work is the best way to encourage them to provide customers with the best service!

In this episode of IndieGameBusiness, we're joined by Mercedes Boberg, Sales Manager at Pragma and Firstlook, to break down how indie developers should approach working with creators from day one. Mercedes shares why thinking about creators early, before launch, is critical and explains the difference between paid creator campaigns and organic creator growth. We'll talk about what actually makes creators stick with a game long term, how to approach creators when you don't have budget or brand recognition, and the most common mistakes studios make when trying to work with them. This conversation also dives into how to turn creators into long term partners instead of one off promotions, and what real success looks like when your creator strategy is working. If you want to build lasting relationships that actually move your game forward, this episode is packed with practical insight.

As coal and gas plants retire, the energy transition conversation focuses on replacing their generation capacity. What gets far less attention is the loss of the physical properties those machines provided for free: inertia that stabilises frequency, fault current that supports voltage during disturbances, and reactive power that regulates voltage across the network. These services come from the physics of enormous spinning rotors synchronised to the grid, responding instantaneously, without sensors, software or control loops. As inverter-based resources replace them, that mechanical immune system disappears, and a new, extreme stress test is arriving at the same time in the form of AI data centres whose loads can swing by hundreds of megawatts in a fraction of a second.Host Bridget van Dorsten is joined by Kristina Carlquist, General Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, and Christian Payerl, Sales Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, to unpack why a technology that has existed for as long as the grid itself is now experiencing a revival.Christian explains the three ancillary services the grid is losing, inertia, short-circuit current and reactive power, and why inverter-based generation does not replace them. Grid-forming batteries can be programmed to simulate inertia, but each charge-discharge cycle degrades lifetime, overload capacity is limited to microseconds, and the models needed for accurate grid simulation are often tied up in manufacturer IP. Synchronous condensers respond on physics alone, in both directions, with no degradation and no modelling uncertainty. The recent blackout in Spain illustrates what happens when that gap is left unfilled.Kristina walks through the commercial traction. ABB's partnership with VoltaGrid on isolated data center microgrids has grown from an unexpected inbound enquiry in late 2024 to dozens of synchronous condensers delivered. On the grid-connected side, the Faroe Islands have deployed four units with a fifth on the way as part of their push toward 100% renewables, already achieving multi-day periods of fully renewable operation. ABB is also working with Korea's Jeju Island on its first flywheel-equipped deployment. The demand pattern is widening: islands integrating renewables, TSOs managing weak grid regions, mines electrifying operations, and now data centre developers who had never considered grid stability equipment before.The episode closes on regulation and standards. Christian, who participates in international standards work through CIGRE, notes that there is still no international standard for flywheel safety and that the treatment of inertia as a paid service varies dramatically by country. While inertia is compensated as a paid service in the UK, in Sweden it is treated as free – rotating machines providing it receive no income stream for doing so. As data center load grows faster than regulation can respond, both guests argue that the answer is not one technology but a combination, provided the industry, utilities and policymakers can align on what the grid actually needs to remain stable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You've built the team. You've done the recruiting, the training, the managing — all while maintaining your own production. So why does it still feel like you can't get out from under it all? The answer is one hire: a real estate team manager.

In episode two of the Global Sire Traits series, host Dr. Dan Hamilton, PIC Sr. Director, Americas-Product Performance, continues the conversation by taking a deeper dive into how sire traits are not only prioritized—but put into practice across different regions. Joining Dan for this conversation is Dr. Saskia Bloemhof, PIC Genetic Services Director, Brandon Fields, PIC Product Development Sr. Manager, Eunice Chun, PIC Technical Services Sr. Manager, Sergio López, PIC Sr. Sales Manager, and Pablo Magallon, PIC Technical Services Manager. Building on the global perspectives shared in episode one, representatives from Asia, Europe, and North America discuss how trait selection translates into real-world results at the farm level. From balancing multiple trait objectives to navigating market demands and production challenges, the group shares how decisions around genetics are made with both short-term performance and long-term progress in mind. The conversation also explores where regional strategies align, where they differ, and what those insights mean for the future of global genetic improvement. With a focus on application and impact, this episode brings clarity to how sire traits drive measurable outcomes across diverse production systems.
This week's show is entitled, "Leadership Strategies for Sales Managers Under Pressure" and my guest is Steven Rosen, Founder of STAR Results. Tune in as we discuss... Sales performance doesn't break, it drifts. Missed quarters don't happen overnight. Coaching stops, training goes unreinforced, and standards quietly erode under pressure until the damage is already done. Coaching the deal is not coaching the rep. Too many managers mistake deal reviews for development. Real coaching means building the skills like discovery, prospecting, and closing...not just managing the pipeline. Enforcement is the missing link most organizations overlook. Even when companies train managers well, results fade without second-line leaders holding the system accountable. Good managers aren't the problem; the system around them is. Listen Now | Watch the video HERE Matt interviews the best and brightest minds in sales and Marketing.

Service Managers, Fixed Ops Directors, and Dealership Owners — are you tired of spending a fortune on marketing just to fill your drive with one-time customers? Most dealerships focus on "customer acquisition" while their current database is leaking out the back door. In this special "Coach Takeover" episode, our elite coaching team breaks down why retention is the only way to build a sustainable, high-profit service department. In this episode of Service Drive Revolution (#355), we break down: ✅ Why the "welcome" in the drive is the most critical moment for long-term retention ✅ The psychology of why customers leave (and it's rarely about the price) ✅ Relationship building: How to move from being a "transactional" shop to a "relational" one ✅ The Sales Manager vs. Service Manager dynamic: Why sales experience can be a superpower in Fixed Ops ✅ How to handle hand-offs from management to advisors to build instant trust ✅ The "Top Golf" debate and the value of team culture behind the scenes ✅ Why "staying in the driveway" is a service manager's most important job If your service department struggles with: - High customer churn and low repeat business - Advisors who treat every customer like a stranger - Managers who hide in their office instead of being in the drive - Low CSI scores despite "fixing it right the first time." - Or a lack of connection between your service and sales departments This episode features insights from our entire coaching team to help you stop the bleeding and turn your service drive into a retention machine. The strength of your business isn't how many new customers you find, but how many you keep. #FixedOps #ServiceManager #CustomerRetention #ChrisBulldogCollins #ServiceDriveRevolution #DealershipLife #AutomotiveLeadership #ServiceAdvisorTraining

Wendell Santiago is a Commercial Real Estate executive and Sales Manager at Realty Capital Advisors, where he leads client relationships, site identification, acquisitions, and leasing across multiple markets and asset classes. He serves as a trusted advisor to clients, guiding projects from market analysis and site tours through due diligence, approvals, leasing, and construction coordination. In addition to his real estate leadership, Wendell directs firmwide marketing efforts, developing LinkedIn and email campaigns, branding, signage, and SEO-driven content to increase market exposure and generate deal flow. With a strong entrepreneurial background and over two decades of experience in operations, finance, and real estate, Wendell is known for his action-oriented approach, ability to navigate complex approvals, and talent for building long-term, high-trust client relationships. Key Points: Success Comes from Taking Action A core philosophy: nothing happens without action. Brokers must make calls , visit properties and physically walk spaces. Confidence comes from hands-on knowledge, not theory. How His Team Doubled Revenue Wendell's team grew leasing volume from ~$9M to ~$24.9M by: · Anticipating Market Shifts · Solving Problems Proactively · Adapting to Demand Trends · Positioning the Market Leadership & Team Management Salespeople are the "eyes and ears" of the business. Strong leaders listen closely to field feedback and use that insight to guide strategy. Wendell maintains credibility by staying hands-on (showings, tours). Leveraging Interns as a Force Multiplier Interns handle prospecting , list building and cold calling. At peak: 1,000+ outbound calls/week from interns alone. Brokers focus on closing, not dialing. The Biggest Frustration: Poor Follow-Up Wendell's #1 issue with salespeople is dropping the ball on follow-up, especially frustrating when leads are already warm or handed to them. Wendell feels the root problem is confusion between activity (busy work) and productivity (closing deals). Critical Sales Lesson: Ask for the Meeting Many salespeople fail at a basic step: asking for the meeting. Even with warm leads, they hesitate. If you don't ask, someone else will . Accountability & Performance Culture Wendell discusses his strong belief in setting clear expectations and consequences for inaction. Bottom line: results matter. Core Philosophy · Be proactive, not reactive · Stay close to the market · Act quickly on opportunities · Support your team—but expect performance Bottom Line Success in sales (and leadership) comes from action + awareness + accountability.

Anthony McMahon is a Sales Manager and Business Benefits Consultant at ClaimLinx, a benefits consulting firm, insurance agency, and MERP administrator that helps businesses lower healthcare costs with customized solutions. He works with business owners to rethink traditional insurance models and implement strategies that reduce costs while improving coverage. Anthony has helped companies cut healthcare expenses by 30-50% or more — often saving hundreds of thousands annually without sacrificing quality of care. In this episode… Rising healthcare benefit costs often get accepted as part of doing business, especially when they grow consistently year after year. However, one of your largest expenses may not be as fixed as it seems and could be quietly draining more profit than necessary. How much opportunity is being missed simply because no one is questioning the status quo? The answer lies in rethinking how healthcare is structured. Anthony McMahon, a business benefits consultant, explains that most companies operate within a model where incentives are misaligned, leading to higher costs and little or no innovation. By shifting to a performance-based approach, businesses can lower fixed premiums, maintain coverage, and strategically manage risk through hybrid models. He emphasizes evaluating costs like any other major expense and exploring alternatives beyond traditional brokers to unlock meaningful savings. In this episode of Owner's Profit Playbook, Pat Mancuso talks with Anthony McMahon, Sales Manager and Business Benefits Consultant at ClaimLinx, to discuss reducing business healthcare costs. Anthony breaks down misaligned incentives in traditional insurance, strategies to cut costs by 30-40% without losing coverage, and how to turn savings into growth. He also touches on employee benefits, tax advantages, and long-term wealth strategies.

Industrial water training only works when the knowledge transfers. That means the material lands with the audience, survives the drive home, and shows up later in the field when decisions get made. Dan Merritt, CWT, Sales Manager at CH2O, brings a rare perspective to that problem. He started as a teacher (chemistry, calculus, physics), entered industrial water treatment on February 5, 2002, and later became part of the AWT training team. This conversation follows the path from classroom instruction to boiler rooms and cooling towers, then uses that journey to examine what makes technical training "stick" for working professionals. From educator to water treater, then back to educator Dan shares how leaving graduate study, teaching high school and community college, and stepping into service work shaped his approach to explaining technical concepts. The throughline is simple: the instructor owns the clarity. When someone in the room does not understand, the response is not frustration. The response is translation. Bridging the knowledge gap without dumbing it down Trace and Dan describe a common failure mode in technical instruction: experts answering correctly, but not helpfully. They frame the goal as closing the gap between what the instructor knows and what the audience can realistically absorb in the moment, especially for attendees building competence over time. Stories and demonstrations as tools for retention The episode highlights why AWT trainers lean on stories and physical demonstrations, from an Archimedes fountain to static electricity experiments. Dan explains how the "light bulb moment" is the reward of teaching, and why trainers adapt when a method fails (including what humidity can do to a demo in a room full of people). Keeping the CWT exam in proper context The conversation also draws a firm boundary: training supports growth, but it does not replace the CWT experience requirement and recommendations. Dan and Trace emphasize accurate language around the credential and reinforce what the training can and cannot do. Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below.

Great ideas don't fail in dealerships because they're bad. They fail because no one installs the behavior fast enough. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, Jen breaks down a simple, high-energy methodology to help leaders stop "motivating" and start installing execution inside their stores. Most dealerships don't have a training problem — they have an execution problem. Processes get rolled out. Energy fades. Thirty days later, nothing sticks. Jen shares her proven meeting framework — used at NADA Academy and in high-performing stores — to compress action, build accountability, and make learning fun and sustainable. You'll learn how to: • Pick one behavior and install it fast • Teach a technique in under 20 seconds • Use real examples to drive discussion • Create immediate execution through activity • Run contests that build visibility and accountability • Shortlist, vote, and let the team own the win This is about turning meetings into movement. Not speeches. Not theater. Behavior change. If you're a GM, GSM, Fixed Ops Director, Sales Manager, or Service Manager who's tired of initiatives fading out — this episode gives you a repeatable structure to make things stick. Momentum doesn't come from motivation. It comes from movement. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |
