Dr. Kerry Johnson to Speak at Agent Summit
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Agent Summit have announced that Dr. Kerry Johnson, MBA, PhD, has agreed to speak at the 2017 event, which will be held May 21–24 at Paris Las Vegas. Johnson will deliver the evening keynote address, sponsored by EasyCare, on Monday, May 22.
“Agent Summit is about sharing best practices, and Kerry Johnson’s teachings have contributed to ours and our EasyCare agents’ success for over 20 years,” said Larry Dorfman, the company’s CEO. “Everyone who spends an hour or so with Kerry will get a lifetime of useful tools to succeed.”
A former professional tennis player turned entrepreneur, author and sales expert, Johnson is known as “The Nation’s Business Psychologist.” In addition to traveling 8,000 miles a week to deliver speeches on topics such as “How to Read Your Customer’s Mind,” “The Trust Connection” and “How to Increase Your Business by 80% in Eight Weeks,” he contributes to 15 national trade and management magazines and has authored six bestselling books.
Johnson joins the Agent Summit speaker roster after delivering speeches and consulting services to a wide range of leading corporations and organizations, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Ford Motor Co., Merrill Lynch, and the USC basketball program.
“As Agent Summit has evolved, our focus has expanded to include sales, leadership and management training topics,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur. “Dr. Kerry Johnson is one of America’s foremost — and certainly best-traveled — experts in that area, and we are pleased to welcome him to our event.”
