MAKE MORE PLAY MORE
Make More Play More. Do you know what this means for you? Are you ready to put it into action even though you don’t know how yet? That’s okay. If it’s an uncomfortable feeling, that’s good. You’re in the right place. Now we have something to work with.
I mainly work with business owners who have 0 – 10 team members. Why? It’s my sweet spot. I grew up in family businesses and have worked for corporations. I’ve seen and experienced the way great ideas can either be implemented immediately or muddle along like molasses. My clients want results that impact business and life and they want them to take affect sooner rather than later. I like to help make that happen for them. It gives me goosebumps when they Make More and Play More. That’s why it’s my sweet spot.

I work with people who are a fit and refer the rest to others I know in the industry. I have no idea right now if you’re a good fit for me or if I’m a good fit for you. The only way we’ll know is if we chat. Once we do that, we’ll know what to do next. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Kelly has a great ability to reach in and find out what our business and team is lacking. It’s not magic, it’s just that she asks questions that we don’t normally ask ourselves. She has a knack for injecting hope into areas that I had kind of just given up on areas I thought would never change. She won’t let us give up on them and change has happened.” — Jason Rutledge, Edward Jones Investments

Why Assessments?
- Improve Hiring & Selection
The right person in the right job is priceless. The wrong one is a nightmare waiting to happen. Accurately identify the right applicants BEFORE the interview, make scientifically informed judgments and build an organization of A+ employees. - Increase Sales
Teach your sales team powerful behavior profiling skills. Empower them to identify – to your organization’s advantage – observable behaviors, then adapt their selling style to fit the customer’s buying style. - Improve Customer Service
Know in advance that your people believe in your organization and care about your customers. Better equip and train your customer support team with the invaluable communication and behavior profiling skills that pay countless dividends. - Increase Productivity
Identify with scientific accuracy the strengths and shortcomings of each team member. Create observable action plans, from the data, that maximize your team’s talent. - Reduce Employee Turnover
Ensure the best possible positional “fit” for each new hire. Great fit means stronger retention rates, which lowers the costs associated with turnover. - Customize Employee Training
One size fits ONE, not all. Learn how each person learns best, what motivates them to get up every day, how they like to be recognized and incentivized, and get them operating on all cylinders sooner. - Make Your Marketing Work
Know how to differentiate yourself from your competitors using descriptive words that accurately and genuinely describe you and your company. Attract the right clientele, keep them coming back and turn them into referral giants for your business by using the scientific data collected from your personalized reports.
The Tools We'll Use
Improve Customer Service
Know in advance that your people believe in your organization and care about your customers. Better equip and train your customer support team with the invaluable communication and behavior profiling skills that pay countless dividends.
Values/Motivators Assessment
The perfect companion assessment to pair with the DISC, Values/Motivators measures the seven universal dimensions of motivation that exist within each of us. Where as DISC predicts “How” someone will behave, Values/Motivators tells you “Why”. Being able to measure and understand How and Why you or someone else behaves is vital to predicting the performance of job applicants, optimizing team performance, building top performing teams, uncovering the source(s) of communicative dysfunction and developing self-aware team members.
