Event Details
This event, the third in a series of Flight School workshops, focuses on winning techniques for implementing business growth through sales. This intense 1-day workshop is presented by Northern Colorado’s Flight School and The Business Catapult, and is designed to help:

The workshop focuses on the following issues:

  1. How to develop a tactical plan to execute your business strategy
  2. Why cash flow management is critical in this stage
  3. People buy from people (and the company behind them): why you’re not just selling your products, but your company as well
  4. Understanding how your business model will take you to the next level
  5. Learning how not to take your eye off today’s business

Expected Outcomes:

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to build a business structure to sustain growth while maintaining the financial integrity of the business.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:

Bob Thilmont has over 25 years of business development experience in industrial and automotive industries. This includes 10 years of international business experience. During his time with Cummins and Woodward Governor Company, he developed a deep understanding of market channel development and value pricing. Bob served on the Automotive Market Research Council (AMRC) while at Cummins and Woodward, serving on both the Light Duty Automotive and Off Highway committees. He has experience in new business start up and product launches, the most notable of which was, while at Cummins, working with Chrysler to provide the service liaison support for the launch of the Cummins engine in the Dodge Ram pickup truck.

While at Woodward, Bob managed their operation in Australia for six and a half years. During that period sales increased by 74% in a mature market. He accomplished this by implementing change management within the organization, transitioning the operation from a sales and service focused operation to a complete engineering solutions provider. During his time in Australia, Bob launched a start up subsidiary in New Zealand to serve the hydro market in that country. Prior to Australia, Bob led Woodward’s efforts to establish a distribution market in Latin America. This included establishing distributors in Mexico, Venezuela and Curacao. His international experience has provided a deep understanding for positioning and pricing products and services in global markets.
