About the event

  • How to use the Two-Division Company model to maximize sales, the life blood of your company

Barefoot is a top global brand, and founded by Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, the authors of the New York Times Bestselling Business book, The Barefoot Spirit and its companion, The Entrepreneurial Culture.  From the start, with virtually no money and no wine industry experience, they employed innovative ideas to overcome obstacles, create new markets and strategic alliances, while pioneering Worthy Cause Marketing and performance-based compensation.

One of the keys to their success was implementing a positive company culture. If any business is to thrive in the global marketplace, its employees must be engaged and empowered. In other words, they must think like owners. Problem is, few employees know how. The job of company leaders is to train them to think this way. Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey know how to create the conditions that draw out and nourish people’s inner entrepreneur. They take the principles that empowered their own tribe of productive, creative and loyal employees to beat the odds; and boil them down into poignant lessons business owners can put into practice right away to boost their bottom line.

They take everything they know about the spirit of entrepreneurship and help startups, leaders and corporations infuse that experience into their company cultures to engage and empower their people.

This webinar is for those that are both in the startup and growth phase stages of their business looking to boost the bottom line and increase profits and have (or want to have) a product delivered through a distribution system.
