Strategic Campaigns, Kansas City took members of it’s team to Dallas, TX to attend a leadership conference. The attendees ranged from entry level to assistant managers.  The team was able to hear from a variety of experts in the sales and marketing field.

Strategic Campaigns reviews the 2014 Dallas leadership conference:

The main focus of the meeting was about the pillars to success, which are as follows.

1. Work Ethic – You can’t do everything at once, but you can do something at once. The more opportunities you give yourself to get a result, the higher the likely hood of obtaining the result you are looking for.

2. Communication Skills – You don’t have to be great orator like Abraham Lincoln to do well.  You do have to be able to effectively convey your message, service or product.

3. Always Have Fun – The more you enjoy yourself and what you are doing the more people want to be around you.  The true definition of charisma is how you make other people feel when they are around you.

Strategic Campaigns Inc Kansas City Reviews 2013

It was a good morning!

Strategic Campaigns Inc. had another good year!

2013 saw more growth than ever. Fueled by an overwhelming demand from clients for new customers Strategic Campaigns increased it’s reach to more markets across the United States.

Strategic Campaigns, Inc. Reviews Entry Level Jobs In Kansas City

Strategic Campaigns reviews entry level positions.

The job market today is more competitive than ever. With more and more college grads entering the work force every year and the economy limiting the amount of jobs available it can be tough. If you are like most people at this stage of your career, it can be exciting and nerve racking.  A lot of people have their degree, but no experience, while others have experience, but no degree.  What a conundrum.

According to Alternet.org: “When you look at the specific numbers for Millennials, things look even bleaker. As of April, the jobless rate for workers under age 25 was an alarming 16.2 percent. A study by the think tank Demos found that 18- to 34-year-olds make up 45 percent of those who can’t find work. That’s a lot of stifled human potential.”

Ultimately there is no need to worry everyone has to start somewhere. As a matter of fact most of today’s most successful business leaders and CEOs all started entry level (many in sales).

According to Forbes Sales Representative is ranked #2 for best entry level roles, with an average starting income just shy of $50,000. They cite flexibility, environment, and the people that work in these roles as major factors.

Strategic Campaigns, Inc. starts the majority of our entry level staff in these types of positions. By having entry level employees spend at least a few months doing sales the amount of experience they are able to gain in a short amount of time is indispensable.

The beginning stages of someones career is very important. Probably the most important part is just get started. Get out there. Gain experience. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Enjoy the ride and have fun. Most importantly get started!

Strategic Campaigns, Kansas City reviews the “Rhino Theory”

Strategic Campaigns, Kansas City takes a look at the art of being the Rhino!

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was to be the Rhino.  What does that mean you may ask?

1. At Strategic Campaigns we believe that in order to succeed in any business one must attack their goals and objectives in an almost single minded CHARGE. The Rhinoceros willingly charges forward in the single minded pursuit of it’s goal.  One of the Rhino’s most notable features are his horns.  He uses these weapons to obliterate anything in it’s way.  Following suit the motivated business professional must attack their goal and be willing to CHARGE through any obstacle in their way, no matter how big or small.

2. The rhinoceros also has incredibly tough skin.  The rhino is one of the few animals in the world to carry that much natural armor.  Any entrepreneur will tell you that in order to achieve great things one must deviate from the pack once in a while.  In doing so, unfortunately there will be nay-sayers along the way.  Unfortunately winning comes at a price. Hard work, determination, and patience.  The philosophy at Strategic Campaigns, Kansas City is to be tougher than the obstacles.  They are only there so we can prove to ourselves how badly we really want something anyway.

3. The Rhino Vs. The Cow.

The cow is a caged animal. It lives a docile existence, just grazing on grass watching the world pass it by.  The cow is there get fat and happy, at least until the rancher makes the decision that it is time to go to the market or slaughter house.  Unfortunately this is how most people live their lives. Toiling away for others, allowing the powers that be to make decisions for them.  The rhino is the opposite.  He is free. Free to roam, fail, also succeed with no limits.  In order to reach ones full potential they must be willing to roam free.

4. The Rhino has a long tail to swat the flies.

Of course there will be pesky unwanted flies. This is a fact of life. Not everyone will see the world as we do, not everyone will understand why we are so determined.  The rhino’s tail exists to swat the pests and unwanted nuisances.

5. The Rhino is incredibly courageous. The rhino will stand it’s ground in the face of danger, as a matter of fact he prefers charging straight ahead in the face of adversity.  Strategic Campaigns, understands that it takes a specific amount of courage to do well in business.  John Wayne said “Courage is being scared to death, but you saddle up anyway.” The world of business can be a very strange and scary adventure at times, but the courageous endeavor onward.

6. The Rhino is very aware of it’s surroundings.  Mark Twain said “Most people miss their opportunities because they are dressed in coveralls and look like work” As the rhino surveys the land he is constantly on the look out for opportunities. He know he needs food, shelter, and water to survive.  The rhino is also aware of potential threats and is able to formulate a plan to deal with them.  As business professional we must be acutely aware of opportunities and risks.  We must be prepared to control what we can.

Here are a few quotes from the book Rhinoceros Success, by Scott Alexander

“A rhinoceros charges with singleness of purpose. All energy is directed toward the attainment of one burning desire.”

“Success is there for anyone who will get off their butt and charge it down!”

“We become the product of three things: the people we associate with, the books we read, and the media we listen to.”

“Charge with rhinos, fly with eagles, run with cheetahs, and eat with lions. Don’t hang around with cows or sheep.”

“Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge. Let your learning lead to action.” – Jim Rohn

“Money is not the root of all evil—love of money is.”

“Money can buy happiness, but it makes a poor savior.”

Operation Smile

Light up the night for Operation Smile was a complete success! More than 300 people participated in the event and they raised over $6000 for the charity! The runners were excited and dressed in interesting costumes featuring glow in the dark accessories. The night was breezy due to consistent light rain, but a great alternative to running in the heat. Pedro, Rex and Adam took advantage of everything that Baton Rouge had to offer which included go-cart races and exploring the nightlife. They also made time to gain valuable business lessons from multiple business owners from Louisiana and Kentucky.

Light Up The Night For Operation Smile

Strategic Campaigns is participating in “Light up the night for Operation Smile” in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this Saturday, July 23rd. This is a one-mile family walk and a 5k run where participants can be creatively incorporate lights and other glow objects in their running gear.

Characteristics of Mental Toughness

People who are strong-minded aren’t hard to pick out of a crowd but true mental toughness is sometimes hard to find. Toughness is not usually seen in the actions  of a person, rather in the reaction of that person. If you know someone who seems to be a mental rock, they seem to know what they want and know how to get it. People that are mentally tough have an answer to every question, an idea for every circumstance and they strive and excel in times when faced with panic or failure. We all aspire to gain or sharpen our mental toughness and there are six major characteristics of mental toughness:

CONFIDENCE: Having the belief in yourself may increase your mental toughness if applied correctly. If you believe in your ability to succeed, then you are preparing yourself for success and bracing yourself in case of obstacles.

FOCUS: When a person cannot stay focused it is easy for them to mentally collapse in high pressure situations. The ability to concentrate on the task at hand and stay focused on that task is an unbelievably important skill that cannot seem master.

MOTIVATION: Have you ever been excited about a goal and then weeks later you lose your excitement? Of course you have, everyone has. Finding motivation is easy, keeping motivation is a challenge. Motivation ties from the lack of or a shift of focus. In situations when the climb is uphill, motivation, focus, and resiliency should be your best friends.

COURAGE: Remember that being courageous is not being fearless; rather it is having fear but acting as if you don’t. Acts of courage are usually accompanied by a mountain of fear but a courageous person will do what they have to do in order to get done that which has to get done.

COMPOSURE: There are a lot of good synonyms for composure such as self-possession, coolness, equanimity and control. In tough situations its important to keep your composure to better asses and tackle the challenge at hand.

RESILIENCY: It doesn’t matter how confident, focused, motivated, courageous, or composed you are, if you do not see your goal at the end then it may turn out to be pointless. Being resilient is pushing through until you reach your destination!
