| Dear John,
I am very excited today to share a phenomenal
success story and one that impacts me
personally.
I am pleased to announce that we have a
new president at Ziglar, Inc.
On January 1, Evan Desjardins became our
new president, which is allowing me as the
CEO to focus on what I love and what I do
best: write, speak, coach, and create a
vision for the future of Ziglar.
That last sentence gives me God-bumps. I
can remember countless times Dad saying
how grateful he was that I was running the
day-to-day activities of the company so that
all he had to do was write books and make
speeches. I thought he was crazy! Now I am
the same way, and I am so grateful that Evan
is running the day-to-day business of the
company!
Our relationship with Evan began just over
three years ago, when he came through our
Ziglar Legacy Certification program. He had
a big dream of helping people, but he wasn’t
sure how God wanted him to live out his
dream. At ZLC he realized that if he grew
and systemized his existing business –
RoundTable Technology -- this would give
him both the time freedom and financial
freedom to follow his dreams.
Because of this, Evan joined our Inner
Circle Coaching program for small business
owners with Howard Partridge, Ziglar’s
exclusive small business coach, and began
a mission to systemize RoundTable
Technology. It took Evan about a year to
fully implement the systems in marketing,
sales, operations, administration, and
leadership, but the results were well worth
it – over $458,000 in increased revenue!
Over that year our friendship and respect for
Evan began to grow as he put into practice
every aspect of the core Ziglar philosophy
and the business systems that we teach.
Then, about 18 months ago, we asked Evan
to take over our Ziglar back office and
cloud-based programs, and our website.
Immediately, Evan and his team improved
every area of our online needs and saved
us over $3,000 per month in expenses and
service costs!
Knowing that Evan had created a turnkey
and systemized business that could be
run from anywhere, we started “hinting”
that he should move his family from Maine
to Texas and just office out of Ziglar HQ.
At the same time, Evan was feeling a
nudge from God to help Ziglar in some
way, and his wife, Crystal, was fully
supportive and ready to enjoy some good
Texas warm weather.
January 1, 2017, marked the end of the
longest job interview in Ziglar history – over
three years! Evan is a relentless implementer
and business systems expert who is hard at
work upgrading the systems at Ziglar HQ so
that we can scale our business and fulfill the
mission of our company!
Welcome aboard Evan! Because, You are
Born To Win and You are Living To Win!
