Safety Culture – It’s Personal! • Is safety motivated by policies? • NO! It’s motivated by things we love and have value for! • Morning Routine / Car seats • Law? Why? • Personal Value .....This is where you want to be! • Priorities change – Valuesdon’t • Accountability / discipline / enforcement – last resort – consequence • If you “see” it…. You “own” it “Asking me to ignore a safety violation is like asking me to put less value on your life”
Safety Sells! • Salesmen…. “I’m talking to Y-O-U!” • “Wait! I’m a top revenue producer! I have a BUSINESS to run!” • Success depends on safety • NPC Story • No time. “Stack of business cards” • Lunch & Learn – Influencers & Decision Makers - Spoke their language / opportunities • Major contracts! • Sales Tips • Start EVERY Sales Meeting with a 60 second topic! • Hand’s free! / Wear PPE / Talk Safety / Value = to revenue • You brag about equipment, service, response time – Ignite the same passion for safety! BEST PRODUCT! BEST SERVICE! BEST SAFETY!
