Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

The Number One Tip to Avoid Commission Breath

  • First off, professional salespeople know the most important asset in business is customers. But, before I tell you the top tip to avoid commission breath, I want to share a quick story about someone in the mortgage industry that brought in $60,000 in 30 days without even opening their mouth. How did they do it, you ask? Postcards! They sent a postcard with a quick message letting the customer/prospect know they appreciated and thought of them because interest rates were low.  Now for the number one tip to avoid commission breath: develop relationship breath.  Stop talking about yourself (commission breath) and start showing you care about them (relationship breath). It doesn’t matter if you are talking with prospects over a webinar, phone, text, or face to face. A prospect/customer can smell commission breath the minute you start: 
    1. Talking about yourself
    2. Pushing your products
    3. Bragging on services
     Look, if you’re lucky, commission breath might work for a quick one-time commission, but relationship breath builds a long-term, repeat commission built on relationships. You see, relationship breath conveys to customers that you care about them, and you have a solution to their challenge. In this case, the postcards the mortgage lender sent relayed two things to his customers/prospects:  
    1. He cared about them as a person 
    2. He had a solution that would save them money 
     The reason that postcard marketing works so well is that it builds relationships, trust, and loyalty as you increase your referrals.  Most importantly, it builds commissions, with long-term repeat business! Now, I can’t promise you $60,000 in 30 days, but I can tell you that postcard marketing opens up the door to make sales fun by building long-term relationships and repeat commissions over time. Don’t take my word for it – connect with me to start experiencing the postcard miracle for yourself. Cheers to long-term commissions,  P.S. I look forward to sharing postcard marketing with you, so let’s connect!
