‘Dynamic Pricing – Love it or leave it?’

Johannesburg, South Africa
13 September 2007

Keynote presentation by one of countries leading speakers

ACTE is delighted to announce that one of South Africa’s leading inspirational speakers, Quinton Coetzee, will be providing a keynote session at this event.
Quinton’s cornerstone keynote address is called ‘Back to Basics ... San Solutions’ and has wowed audiences worldwide.

His powerful and riveting introduction leads the audience into the fascinating world of a San Bushman Tribe (the Company), their bush environment (the Marketplace), the wildlife on which they thrive (the Clients) and the predators with which they compete (the Competitors). Using spectacular photos, he illustrates that everyone has dormant or under-utilized business skills. These skills need only to be set free or “unlocked” in order to realize maximum gain, both personally and for the company. In this regard, no-one beats the San.
This is how successful business has always been done, is currently being done and will continue to be done.

His back to basics approach includes key business issues including the challenge of change, creativity and innovation, recognizing and exploiting hidden opportunities, the necessity of training and skill development, and possibly most importantly in keeping with the event program - adaptability, flexibility and versatility.
