Greg Hall created training DVDs and training programs tailored to accounts’ needs and corporate philosophy. When Best Buy found one of the sources of their high return rate was their sales staff selling one of each cable and telling the customers to return what they do not need I made this video. It was made to correct the problem and give the sales staff a set of proper guide lines to follow.

The RS GHall power v1.3 is a video used as a DVD and as part of Radio Shacks on line training program. It was for new hires and low performers to learn the basics of power conditioning and how to sell it.

The CSG is a connections guide I updated with the latest connections and technology for use in retailers to show customers how to hook up their gear and help the salesmen sell more cables.

At Monster Cable I was put in charge of showing our HDMI cables were better and worth the extra $. I cut open the connector or ours and others and noticed a difference in construction and created a whole sales and training program based on my discovery.

In our rollout in Australia we were told the local brand was claiming they were better and had done the tests to prove it. I brought samples of the best and cheapest cables and tested them against our similarly priced models. I shot a video that showed we were better and there was little difference between their best and cheapest cables. This video was show all over Australia and now monster has replaced the local brand in the largest Australian Electronics retailer.

Back story

I was given Australia to fix. Our Distributor down there had never done much volume even though they had been with monster for over 20 years. The sales team that had gone down there was asked not to come back by the Distributor.

They had been the ugly Americans in a big way. I had lived there as a kid and knew the culture, so the owner of Monster cable asked me to go down and see if I could repair the damage. I discovered that the local Cable Brand Crest had been telling everyone that they were better and they had tested Monster and it was garbage. I brought back two samples of the Crest brand, one of the cheapest and on of the most expensive video cables they make. I shot a video that showed not only was our brand better at both price points the theirs, but that ours had a difference in performance between price points while the cheapest and most expensive video cables tested out as the same.

I went back down under and showed this video to each buyer and store proprietor I visited. I helped design and more importantly push through the development of power conditioners for the Australian 240Volt market. I made sure they were delivered in country in time for a nation wide meeting at the biggest chain in Australia (their Circuit City) Harvey Norman’s. The video cable comparison was shown along with a power demo to all the decision makers and manager for the whole country. Crest was kicked out and Monster cable and power were brought in. This gave the Distributor a 337% growth for the quarter a company record that stands to this day. Convoy, this Australian distributor has won an award every year since for top sales as an international distributor, something they had never even got close to in the 20 years previous.

 I trained 3 new local trainers and their 12 existing reps to present the same presentation I had been doing all over Australian and New Zealand. I returned a few more times for management workshops and to retrain the new staff and train on new product.  I helped to design and pushed through the corporate inertia   of our engineering department new power products  for their market. Convoy to this day is an example of how a distributor should work, and trainers from other distributors in other countries are sent there to learn from them.
