If so, you are dealing with a person of great professionalism and distinction. Read on, and you will see why.

Dave Romeo Seminars is a unique blend of education, execution, and achievement. It is rich with tradition and a sense of fun. It is a community of kind and decent professionals who enjoy being around other open-minded, positive thinkers and go out of their way to help others as they grow personally and professionally. People who excel at what they learn are recognized, acknowledged and held up as successful role models to others. Adding an element of competition has created an additional air of excitement to learning.

The Hierarchy

To distinguish the top performers, a hierarchy of accomplishments exists. They are as follows:

Sales Academy Graduate: This person has successfully completed our most popular program learning all aspects of selling in a 5-week course. Sales Academy Graduates are expected to name “The Only 4 Benefits People Buy” on site whenever requested. Each graduate adds his or her own Ultimate Success Formula to the program for the benefit of all future attendees, thus continuously improving the quality of the Sales Academy. This is the first jewel of the Triple Crown and the only one someone can deliberately achieve.

Leadership Academy Graduate: This person has successfully completed a 5-week course in real-world leadership challenges, dealing with the unexpected and revealing his or her character in the face of adversity. Graduates commit themselves to participating in a non-profit class project to help others and demonstrate what they have learned. The Leadership Academy when added to the Triple Crown designates the person as a “Grand-Slammer,” currently the highest honor someone can achieve through Dave Romeo Seminars.

Ultimate Service Provider: This person has been recognized for consistently providing great performance to customers and non-customers alike. The criteria for and Ultimate Service Provider (USP) are:

  1. The person must be known to Dave Romeo for a period of at least one year
  2. Commit to their Commitments
  3. Be Super-Responsive
  4. Be Congruent (Their words must match their actions)
  5. Be Consistent

USP’s wear a pin symbolizing their status. Once a person is named to the Ultimate Service Provider Referral List, they are then awarded a USP pin at the next Annual USP Dinner Celebration, traditionally held every January. There is no automatic tenure as a USP and members must continually re-earn the right to remain in good standing. Ultimate Service is the second jewel in the Triple Crown.

Dave Romeo Seminars Hall of Fame: This is the top honor awarded annually to two inductees who have used what they have learned, executed well, and achieved the most significant accomplishments. While not required, it is very rare for someone to be inducted into Dave Romeo Seminars Hall of Fame without first being named to the USP list and/or completing the Sales Academy. Inductees receive plaques commemorating their induction and category and have their names added to the Dave Romeo Seminars Hall of Fame Legacy Trophy. An asterisk after an inductee’s name designates Triple Crown status. Two asterisks after an inductee’s name designates Grand Slam status. The trophy is engraved with inspirational quotes and is quite large. It is designed to be lifted by two or more people, to symbolize that it is impossible to achieve this level of success all alone. Hall of Famers are inducted (without their prior knowledge) at the Dave Romeo Seminars Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony, held at the last seminar of the year one week before Thanksgiving Day. The motto of the Dave Romeo Seminars Hall of Fame is “To whom much is given, much is expected.”  This is the third jewel in the Triple Crown and the most respected honor of the three.

The Top Ten: The Top Ten All-time Attendees are recognized for their serious commitment and dedication to lifelong learning. Currently, all Top Ten Attendees have attended more than 40 different Dave Romeo seminars. Duplicates and repeats are counted in this standing. While not an official ranking, attendance often helps identify likely future Dave Romeo Seminar Hall of Fame inductees. A celebration is held each year following the Dave Romeo Seminar Hall of Fame seminar where the Top Ten All-Time Attendees are invited to enjoy a chocolate celebration and focus group to improve the seminars.

Knowledge Sponge: This term affectionately refers to people who enjoy coming to Dave Romeo seminars over and over again. While can refer to almost any client, significance is bestowed upon knowledge sponges once they attend 20 or more Dave Romeo seminars. “Inner Circle Knowledge Sponges” refer to the core group of people who actively participate in many community activities including field trips, focus groups, fund raisers, and celebrations.

The Aristocracy: This term is meant to include any and all of the above categories of die-hard people who support and enjoy being part of the Dave Romeo Seminars community.
