Introduction for Kordell Norton for programs with Chambers of Commerce

===============================================================

Our presenter today, Kordell Norton, is an expert in marketing and growing your organization. 

Which is scary, because, one definition of an “expert” is someone who knows more and more about less and less . . . until they know nothing at all. (wait for chuckle)

He has a rich background in business having been a senior executive at several multi-billion dollar corporations where he held positions like:

• Vice President of several Call Centers with over 500 agents who answered a quarter million phone calls a month

• Director of Human Resources over 5,600 employees

• Director of Marketing with a $31 million dollar a year budget where he managed marketing for names like IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Oracle and Hewlett-Packard

• Regional Sales Manager

In addition he was in charge of Organizational Development for a company who was on Fortune Magazine’s 100 fastest growing companies . . .  three years in a row.

As President of Synergy Solutions LLC,  he works with corporate, government and association organizations across the country, helping them grow their sales and businesses as a consultant, speaker and facilitator. 

Beside being a regular speaker at Chamber events, Kordell also facilitates Chamber Board Strategic Planning retreats and speaks to Chamber Executive groups across the country, sharing the tricks, tips and traps of Chamber growth.  

He is also a professional member of the National Speakers Association and author of two books, Throwing Gas on the Fire - creating drastic change in sales and marketing and the about to be released Customer Insights - A Sales Guide for Discovering the Customer’s Problems, Passions, and Priorities.

The father of six great kids. . . . which does take a lot of planning . . .
