In my 45 plus years in the Sports and Entertainment industry, encompassing a decade teaching as a University Professor and three plus decades operating as a Senior Executive at iconic sports properties, I have never seen anyone with the work rate, the ability to create relationships or produce the conversion/ success rate of Travis.

His ?Root? stats (call volume, call duration, appointments set and referrals) were invariably double the next best producer. Not surprisingly his ?Fruit? stats (tickets sold, revenue produced and average revenue per sale) were also double the next best performer. In short, he truly lived it, taught it as a Leader and is now sharing ?Next Practices?
