Stanley Gitmore
Stanley Gitmore – sales and marketing manager. Stanley is that stereotypical sales guy who is a fast talker and wants to make that deal and make it quick! Buyer bewares, Stanley is here and you WILL BUY. Full of promises but short on delivery, Stanley is the epitome of how NOT to build relationships and enable your customer to buy.

Stanley is useful in sales meetings to get everyone laughing while making the point that his way is not the way to sell or market. Stanley can also introduce products or policies with a large dose of humor and answer those competitive questions before they are asked.

Plug Stanley Gitmore into your next sales, marketing or customer service team meeting and let him make points for you using his own unique humor and style.

The Old Salt
Go to the fishing pier down by the shore. Hang out where the boats come in daily. There in the fish house or the local tavern, you will be sure to find "The Old Salt". Full of vivid stories about the sea and life and full of BS, the Old Salt is ready to dispense learned advice, pearls of wisdom, and practical life experiences to entertain and educate your company or customers.

Take advantage of this "colorful" character and have him deliver timeless messages about being resourceful, innovative, leading and following, and getting results. Enjoy the dry humor and contagious laughter as your audience receives and relates to the messages purveyed by The Old Salt! Profit from the results you get when your message is understood and implemented.

We also have other characters to choose from which include:

• Chef Z – This not so famous chef can make great dishes that serve up good communication and team building principles.
• Admiral Wood B. Boss – Leadership & Management training is always more interesting when the Admiral makes his outdated and very authoritarian remarks about “running” the company.
• Deacon Dan – Never before has the ministry had such a friend as Deacon Dan. If you need someone that is judgmental, unforgiving and thoroughly righteous in their own mind – call on the Deacon. Use the Deacon to make points on interpersonal communications, team work, conflict resolution or just getting along particularly in a volunteer organization.
• Sgt. M.Y.Way – The sergeant is an ex drill instructor and he knows how to get people moving. If you need an expediter at an event or someone to resolve issues quickly – he’s your man! Use the Sarge for leadership, management and conflict resolution training as well and you will get your team or department on the move!
• Create your Own Character – We will be happy to adapt our characters or create the perfect character for your needs in training or at an event. Contact us and let us know what you need!
