• 9 SECRETS TO SUNQUEST SUCCESS

• Bob Abrames spent 18 years with Sunquest Vacations, one of Canada's true success stories. He was instrumental in growing Sunquest into the massive and extremely successful tour operator it is today. He started there as a kid out of college and quickly became a valuable partner. He helped Sunquest grow from a mom and pop company with one small program to Acapulco to a marketing machine that moved hundreds of thousands of passengers yearly to dozens of international destinations. Bob shares how his team built the Sunquest reputation as the "Quality Package Holiday People". He'll explain how they never lost money - and never made less money than the year before! He'll share their secrets of building a team, setting goals, exceptional service, massive sales, facing adversity in tough times...and of course amassing profit. His presentation is loaded with practical examples and analogies that can be applied to any business.

• BOB THE VOYAGEUR

• Bob believes that a speaker’s fundamental job is to make people think. Bob’s story has mesmerized and motivated every audience over the last three years – no exceptions! The story is so unique it is presently being considered for a listing in the Guinness World Records. Bob tells his story about nine total strangers paddling from Montreal to Winnipeg in a birch bark canoe. Complete strangers! Paddling twelve hours a day! No modern comforts! Nowhere to hide from the sun, the rain, or the bugs! The passion and enthusiasm boils through-out this dramatic delivery. This amazing story appeals to everyone, any gender, any age. It’s about what our ancestors did yesterday, who we are today, and what we’re capable of tomorrow. By the time Bob’s finished with his delivery every person in the room will be riveted on him – and everyone will be reviewing their own potential! One more thing – this is not a ‘once won’ kind of story. Bob focuses on one expedition for this story but in fact has completed three - and has ten more on the books. He continues to live what he speaks about, not speak about what he once lived. He’s done it and doing it! Isn’t that what you want your people to do?

• THERE’S NO FUR-TRADE IF FURS AREN’T TRADED!

• No matter what business you've chosen for your professional journey, people need to know about it, something has to be sold and customers need to be cared for. In business terms it’s called marketing, selling and service. All three apply to all professions, on some level, most of the time. Bob uses his thirty years of business success, his expertise as a Salesologist, and his speaking abilities to present to the audience a fresh approach to these massively important skills. Bob guarantees he can ‘shake the canoe’ of the newest or most seasoned of business people with this one! He can focus on all three issues, or one in particular - your choice.

• IS YOUR TEAM IN ONE CANOE?

• The success of Bob's 2,500 kilometre expedition from Montreal to Winnipeg required 9 people to paddle one canoe, to one destination, in rhythm. The success of the journey depended on a cohesive team, focused management and a common understanding of success. They came embarrassingly close to not making it! What about your team? What’s their Winnipeg? Do they agree on the goals? Are they after the same trophies? Do they respect each others abilities? Bob gets the audience to define their game, their plays, and their goals and appreciate the fact that no one person can paddle a 26 foot canoe alone. He stresses the importance of common objectives, constructive measurements and fair leadership. This presentation is perfect for all teams - players, coaches and managers included.

• YOUR CANOE WILL ALWAYS GO TO THE HORIZON YOU FOCUS ON!

• The definition of success is having all you need of what you want! Money, time, peace, family, you name it. If it’s what you want and you have lots of it you are successful. Bob feels he’s been successful enough with what he’s wanted that he can help audiences get focused on what they want. He’s been to more places, done more things, and earned more money than most people dare to dream of. He speaks for nine months and lives his Voyageur expeditions for three. He does pretty much whatever he wants! He often gets asked – “how can you do all that?” Simple! He’s able to do it because he knows how to focus on what he wants and not let the stuff he doesn’t value get in the way. Bob uses his personal successes, his Voyageur expeditions, and his business accomplishments to help people get focused on what they want personally and as part of a team.
