Ron Davis, President of SIVAD Solutions, says “SIVAD leverages experience coupled with hardware and software technology to provide solutions that automate the processes used by organizations to run their day-to-day business. Our mission is to implement technology to save you time. Time is precious and time is valuable. A savings in time leads to a saving in operating costs, better communication internally and externally and more confident decisions on what’s important to your business.

SIVAD Solutions

Charles Davis, CFO of SIVAD Solutions, said “Currently U.S. organizations are seeing their internal data double every 6-8 months with 85% being documentation. The cost to manage this increase in data and documentation is roughly 5-15% of their annual operating budget. Added on top of that is the fact that 90% of organization memory is on paper. Having this knowledge residing on paper can kill an organization in today’s fast-paced business environment.”

Charles Davis continued, “In today’s economy organizations are striving to do more with less. As they cut back on staff they still need to provide the service their customers have come to expect. More and more organizations are looking at technology to streamline the processes used in their day-to-day business. Technology has the capability to improve all areas of business, including front-office operations, finance, customer service, manufacturing, Human Resources, and more.”

“Our goal is solving the business process problems that keep executives up at night,” proclaimed Ron Davis.

Sharon Drew Morgen is the visionary and thought leader behind Buying Facilitation® the new sales paradigm that focuses on helping buyers manage their buying decision. She is the author of the NYTimes Business Bestseller Selling with Integrity as well as 5 other books and hundreds of articles that explain different aspects of the decision facilitation model that teaches buyers how to buy.

Morgen dramatically shifts the buying decision tools from solution-focused to decision-support. Sales very competently manages the solution placement end of the decision, yet buyers have been left on their own while sellers are left waiting for a response, and hoping they can close. But no longer: Morgen actually gives sellers the tools to lead buyers through all of their internal, idiosyncratic decisions.

Morgen teaches Buying Facilitation® to global corporations, and she licenses the material with training companies seeking to add new skills to what they are already offering their clients. She has a new book called Dirty Little Secrets: why buyers can’t buy and sellers can’t sell and what you can do about it which defines what is happening within buyer’s cultures (systems) and explains how they make the decisions they make.

Morgen has focused on the servant-leader/decision facilitation aspect of sales since her first book came out in 1992, called Sales On The Line.

In all of her books, she unmasks the behind-the-scenes decisions that need to go on before buyers choose a solution, and gives sellers the tools to aid them.

In addition, Morgen changes the success rate of sales from the accepted 10% to 40%: the time it takes buyers to come up with their own answers is the length of the sales cycle, and her books – especially Dirty Little Secrets – teaches sellers how to guide the buyers through to all of their decisions, thereby shifting the sales cycle from a failed model that only manages half of the buying cycle, to a very competent Professional skill set.

Morgen lives in Austin TX, where she dances and works with children’s fund raising projects in her spare time.

About Project Authenticity

Our mission is really simple, we are working to end violence against women and poverty in developing countries. We know that one billion women will be a victim of violence in her lifetime. As many as one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some other way – most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member.

We want to promote peace and prosperity, believe wholeheartedly that it begins with women. We have seen that in societies where women’s rights are respected, economies are stronger, civil societies thrive and political institutions are more open and free.

Our approach is to work alongside vetted country and community leaders to make sure that the girls and women are getting the education and training necessary to participate in programs for micro-finance and build an income. When a woman is educated and bringing income her role in the community changes. It just takes one woman to start to change an entire community.

Our goal isn’t to herd women and girls through a program only to leave them asking what’s next. We are committed to building a movement of empowered women who can be a catalyst in their community for economic viability, human rights, and goodness.

I’m Kevin Metzger, a successful 34 year old father of 3 two girls and one boy. My wife Melanie and I have been married for 9 years and have known each other for 11. I met her the day I moved to Atlanta for my first “real” job with IBM after college. We met at a U-hall. She was there returning her trailer and I was returning my truck. She had driven from Colorado to Atlanta without backing up but had to back in at the U-hall facility and needed help. I’ve been in love with her from the day we met.

About a year ago I started blogging on the web site MySpellingSucks.com. That site is “An unedited discussion about my ADD and Dyslexia and my daughters Cerebral Palsy.” I wrote an article, Seven Years that was a reflection on the loss of our first pregnancy, and how I love being a dad. That article was submitted to our community Magazine’s Father of the Year contest by my wife and I won. It was that article and event that sparked this current project.

Professionally I’ve held positions with titles such as Consultant, Functional Analyst, Business Analyst, Sr. Business Analyst, Integrations Manager, Relationship Manager, and Business Systems Architect. Basically all the positions are or have been geared to optimizing business processes and the use of technology in organizations. Professionally I have done work with building Internet applications, EDI, computer infrastructures, market research, internal customer representation at the executive level, integrated acquisitions, built intranets, done warehouse management, integrated ERP and introduced Social media and collaboration concepts. Basically I’ve been involved in virtually every aspect of business as it relates to optimization and automation for the internet. I also have my MBA from Georgia State in E-commerce and my undergraduate from Clemson University is a BS in Computer Information Systems.

On top of work and blogging I am also involved on the board of a start-up Non-profit Called LetsCureCP.org The mission of this wonderful organizations is:

“Let’s Cure CP is a non-profit organization (501c3) committed to funding the support of Cerebral Palsy (CP) research. We will accomplish our mission by undertaking and supporting initiatives at research institutions around the country that focus on developing new therapeutic methodologies for the treatment of Cerebral Palsy.

CP occurs in approximately 2-3 in 1,000 births. Unfortunately, there is very little research being done to overcome and abate CP. Let’s Cure CP was created in the hopes of finding promising and alternative treatments for this debilitating condition.”
