Ready to Think GREAT?

​Erik Therwanger says it’s time to stop selling and start sharing to drive results to exciting new levels! Hone your skills and gain some powerful NEW IDEAS!

The goal of the New Ideas Conference exists within its name; to inspire you to consider HOW and WHY you should (and can) try something new. Innovation, new perspectives, and often times, the best ideas arise from a variety of areas within the credit union.

DakCU is very pleased to announce featured speaker for the upcoming New Ideas Conference: ​​Erik Therwanger, Founder & Author of Think GREAT.

“I want to enhance credit unions’ perception of what selling really is, and what specific actions your staff can take to grow those new perceptions,” stated Therwanger. “Bottom line: everyone is in sales,” he added.

DakCU’s Chief Officer of Strategic Services, George McDonald, says that many of our Dakota credit unions have been asking for more resources on sales development. “Nobody likes the idea of selling; but in truth, we are all selling something – or supporting someone who is selling. One way to look at it is not that you are just promoting a product or a service, but rather, filling a need, and finding a solution that your member desires,” he explained.

These are just some of the reasons why we selected Erik Therwanger to share his insight. Drawing from his experiences as a U.S. Marine, executive business leader, sales professional, and entrepreneur, Erik helps organizations achieve new levels of success. He uniquely combines leadership development, team building, sales training, and goal setting into strategies and techniques that empower team members and leaders to exceed expectations. As both a speaker and consultant, he provides organizations with a competitive edge for accomplishing goals and achieving greater results!
