Executive Blueprints

  

"At the end of the day, in every industry, there's an integrator.  Sure, there are supply chains, and there are enterprises at various points in the chain that offer only one piece of a finished product: steelmakers  in the auto industry; component makers in consumer electronics; or providers of a marketing or tax application in financial services.  But, before the components reach the consumer, somebody has to sit at the end of the line and bring it all together in a way that creates value.  In effect, he or she takes responsibility for translating the pieces into value"

"Throw away or put down all those self-help, 10-minutes to success books that attempt to tell you how to increase your leads, grow your sales & pipeline or motivate your sales team and make one single investment in this powerhouse - The Trusted Advocate.

The book provides real life examples that make sense, speaks to integrity and can be applied immediately. It outlines a selling strategy that focuses on the relationship between customer and salesperson to achieve continued and sustainable growth.

A quick read, you will walk away with page after page of highlights and folded corners of information you can't wait to share with others. A goldmine of wealth you can't afford to miss out on. Worth the time and investment.
"

Tina Tuccillo
VP Strategic Marketing & Product Planning
Noritsu America Corporation

"This rare book offers the finest advice on building lasting sales relationships. It focuses on the most important and most basic fundamentals of relationship building which is exactly what sales is all about. This book is not about gimmicks. It is all about doing the right things for the right reasons. A fascinating tool. It should be read and re-read often so that its concepts can always remain at the forefront of our minds."

Randy Whitehead
President
National Service Alliance

"Vance Baldwin is in a highly competitive market, with increasing demands, and decreasing margins. Our organization has successfully achieved significant growth, year-over-year, by consistently delivering value added integration and cutting edge ease of use for our clients. Powered by technology, and an unquenchable passion for precision performance, the value that we provide is based on listening to our customers and developing the tools that enable them to meet their business objectives. Our clients also exist in highly competitive environments - we know it, we listen to them, and we respond. Being a trusted advocate is more than just a good idea, it is a business strategy that creates priceless differentiation, fervently loyal customers, and bottom line results.

The Trusted Advocate: Accelerate Success with Authenticity and Integrity, is a must read for any business executive. This book belongs on the shelf next to Collins and Covey, and the practical principles should be applied across the organization. Put a copy in the hands of your employees to protect your customers and your profits." 

Robert Coolidge
President
Vance Baldwin Electronics
An Encompass Group Affiliates, Inc. Company

"The only gripe I have with the authors of The Trusted Advocate is that they (or anyone else) didn't write and publish this book many years ago. Its fresh and almost revolutionary approach to its topic is decades overdue.
 
Some of us may start reading this volume somewhat skeptical about the authors' opening thesis that the way we are habituated to define "success" is entirely illusory. But any doubts will be quickly dispelled as their  highly readable analysis of the inseparable relationship between real success and the twin concepts of authenticity and integrity unfolds.  And more than that -  they make it easy for us to internalize what we have read as we are gently provoked to practically apply the knowledge to our own individual situations.
 
Moreover, it will be a great pity if this book will be read only be sales professionals in the narrow sense. In effect, we are all salespeople - whether our need is to "sell" the ideas we believe in, to secure the best terms for the services we need, or just to convince our boss to give us a raise. Simply put, applying the concepts presented in this book will help to make the world a better place. Period."

"As a successful business professional for over 25 years and having worked for large corporations to start-up operations, the one common thread I've found for success is to understand your values and always do the right thing for your clients and colleagues.

John's book, The Trusted Advocate does an outstanding job of articulating what most successful sales and business professionals inherently understand - that people want to do business with those they can trust and are looking out for their best interest.

People know when they are being "sold" vs. working with someone who takes the time to understand their needs and is looking to develop a long term relationship.

Most sales training books emphasize technique and process. The Trusted Advocate takes it to the next level, starting with understanding yourself and your values and guiding you to become exceptional by doing the right things.

I recommend this book to anyone that has the desire to excel and improve their professional relationships. It might even help your personal relationships..., "

"I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with John over the past few years and he is indeed the embodiment of his latest book, The Trusted Advocate: Accelerate Success with Authenticity and Integrity … I highly recommend this work from John who has indeed walked the walk. My only regret is that I did not have this remarkable work to guide my early career.

In fact Mark Twain could have been referring to John; had he known him, in the following quote: '...Experience is an author's most valuable asset; experience is the thing that puts the muscle and the breath and the warm blood into the book he writes.'" - Mark Twain / Is Shakespeare Dead

Steve Wallace
Vice President of Sales

"John's book: The Trusted Advocate: Accelerate Success with Authenticity and Integrity. Is not just a blueprint for sales success, it's a blueprint for success in general. These concepts can be applied across any industry. A must read for anyone looking to take themselves to the next level!"  

Frank Niglia
Logistics and Supply Chain Expert

I have known John for many years. Our business connection began in 2003 as I approached Toshiba Corporation to engage with our company, Service Net. In 2006, we launched a successful business partnership that led to many different paths and a valued personal relationship. That relationship continues to thrive and grow today.  Since Toshiba, John has been a vendor partner and introduced us to several new clients and other business opportunities.

I have been the Executive Vice President at Service Net for 13 years and a sales professional for nearly 30.  One thing I have learned about selling is that “it’s all about relationships”. As I had the opportunity to learn more about John’s new venture, Executive Blueprints, I began to anticipate his weekly newsletter which is always timely and informative. His messages resonated with me and I have come to appreciate the ideas and strategies he delivers. With John, it is all about the relationship!

Recently, I was anticipating our first half sales meeting and looking for ideas to capture, teach and motivate our internal sales team and our outside independent sales representatives. Our goal was to review the sales to date and focus on executing our sales strategy for the back half of the year. I approached John about doing a 90 minute session about his new book The Trusted Advocate. As a knowledgeable partner, friend and trusted business advisor, it was natural to turn to him for our meeting requirements given his background and experience. I have to say that I was quite delighted by the outcome. I knew John would be meticulously prepared and I was comfortable with the message he was to deliver. I was struck by the ease with which he delivered the key messages from the book then related those messages to the exact market conditions we were facing. John and I did have several background conversations prior to the event, but I was surprised by the time and detail he invested in delivering real actionable ideas and I think we all gained from the presentation.

I would highly recommend John for any keynote, sales training, or sales strategy meeting where building relationships is a primary objective. John’s experience and expertise are translated into real word business philosophies and concepts that have you leaving the room full of new ideas and enthusiasm.

We will certainly use John again for future events and I look forward to sharing our results as we move into the back half of the year. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to provide a reference of our experience with John Mehrmann. I also recommend his book The Trusted Advocate. I have since purchased the book for all of our executive staff, marketing team and sales associates.

Sincerely,

Greg Gadbois
Executive Vice President, Sales

Service Net
Letter of Recommendation

"John earned Service Net's business by patiently educating Service Net about the logistics as an industry consultant, not as a representative of his company or interests. He's an asset as an industry expert, regardless of the company he represents. He's a "go to" person which I interpret as a "trusted advocate", not a sales person."

Dan Tafel
General Manager, National Sales
Service Net

"John is the most qualified person to write about authenticity and integrity. I have learned the importance of being a trusted advocate for my co-workers and clients from John on a personal level and from his excellent new book. I would recommend this book to any business person, whether or not they are a sales executive, because it will teach and reinforce how important it is to act with integrity in the business world. Acting with integrity and authenticity will give you a competitive advantage and allow your clients to look to you as a trusted advocate."

Mike Easterbrook
Director of Environmental Compliance
ARC International Corporation

"I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to express how John was an influential force in my professional and family life. He is a good listener and adviser. He takes his time to listen. He has shown me how to win the trust of our customers time and time again. I always admire the way he views his clients as close family members. I keep saying to myself, "TYPICAL JOHNNY", while reading his wonderful book."

Samson Eshetu
Director of Operations
Data Exchange Corporation

"John is one of those rare individuals who actually practices what they espouse. There have been more than a few individuals, whether they be authors, managers, or even parents whose behavior is not consistent with what they preach. John is a person of integrity and wisdom; someone not always found in the business world. He sees the larger picture. He understands the personal worth of each individual, no matter their station in life. John is the Trusted Advocate. Oh, he's a pretty nice guy too."

Mark Balinski
Senior Manager
ZSL Inc

"Hello and thank you for this wonderful book!  I am over half way through and can't put it down!  Almost ever page is marked with notes I can't wait to share with others.  You and Simon have hit the mark. It's so good to part of the solution and a force to drive change within organizations."

Tina Tuccillo
Vice President of Strategic Marketing and Product Planning
Noritsu America Corporation

"John I read it and I could not put it down. As I read about each and everyone you wrote about, I was amazed how real and how vivid they are to me. Each story took me there in time and I felt part of it. Thank you! It has made me think of how I see myself as an individual and has made me change in some many great ways. I want to become that person...

All the stories will have such a great impact on all those who are fortunate to get their hands on this book. My favorite was the chapter about relationships. The story about you and your grandfather, I could see his belly giggling with laughter and I would see the smile in his face. You have such a precious gift. You are passionate about people and their feelings and it shows in your writing. You are a trusted advocate in my eyes. Thank you for sharing your gift with me!"

Dalia Behne

John dedicates his life to his work and it shows, just spend 5 minutes talking to him and you will see how genuine and honorable he is. John has taught me many things about business and has had a major impact in my personal life. With John, there is always something a person can learn, because he is always so knowledgeable, and shows you how much he cares about you, or the work you do, by showing his appreciation."

His integrity and honesty unfailing, he positively challenged his employees to perform at optimum abilities while creating trust and camaraderie amongst an eclectic group of “type A” technical sales engineers (not an easy task). John Mehrmann held all team members to the high standards of workmanship and company ethics in supporting standards customers and acquisition business, increasing sales in several market segments as he understands the role of the services component to support the life line sales of the business!

Zylog to launch e-waste management software
Monday , July 07, 2008 at 1113 hrs IT solutions provider Zylog Systems will launch a new software to manage electronic waste in the next three-four months. Zylog Systems Vice-president (Business Development) John Mehrmann said the software is primarily aimed at creating a database of products to be recycled and information on partners involved in the process. The Chennai-based company expects to launch the software, 'Recycle Accelerator', in the country during October-November. The new product would help in connecting all the partners, including manufacturers, recyclers, collectors and buyers of the materials for reuse, he added.

The Hindu Business Line :
Zylog software solution to track, recycle e-waste
Chennai, July 4 Chennai-based Zylog Systems Ltd has developed a software solution for tracking and (hence) recycling, e-waste. To develop the product, Zylog spent a million dollars (Rs 4 crore) and roped in a ‘reverse logistics’ expert, Mr John Mehrmann, who had over two decades of experience working for Toshiba. Manufacturers are responsible for managing effective recycling programs, but lack reporting by product, since most incoming goods are only tracked by weight. Manufacturers have not yet created systems to authorize and regulate collectors and recyclers, Mr Mehrmann told Business Line. The future versions of Recycle Accelerator will enable call centers to refer consumers to a collaborative network of collectors and recyclers. Manufacturers will be able to track products received and the effectiveness of recycling. Government agencies will have the ability to audit compliance, track performance, and identify abuse or precious metal theft, he said.
