Meet David Alexander of High Achievers in Marietta

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Alexander. Him and his team share the story with us below.

Please kick things off for us – we’d love to learn the story.
High Achievers was founded in 1998 by Jeff Liesener and Tom Gundrum as High Achievers Network. The Arizona based company expanded to California and Texas, and became a leader in training and development for individuals and organizations. Some of the most trusted authorities in training and development took our stage, including Dr. Denis Waitley, Nido Qubein, Peter Montoya, Glenna Salsbury, Les Brown, Dan Lier, Scott McKain, and the late great Jim Rohn.

Doug Grady came on board in 2002. He helped expand the company and worked his way into an equity position. When the economy began to turn in 2006, Doug was given an opportunity to buy the company.

In 2012, Doug met David Alexander, a successful entrepreneur with several ventures under his belt. After a three-hour trail run on a Monday morning, they sat down on a picnic table and carved out what would eventually become the merger of their two training companies, rebranded as High Achievers.

David is now the president and CEO of High Achievers. David is building a world class expert faculty to help empower business owners to Embrace a Lifestyle of Achievement. This is achieved through our Nexpert Business Coaching Program and our Catalyst Mastermind Program.

David and his team believe in the power of mentors, coaches, networks, training, and communities.

We believe in professional growth through personal growth.
We believe in the power of the human spirit.
We believe in Action Based Experiential Learning.

Our vision is that our members, employees, stakeholders, and communities will embrace a lifestyle of High Achievement.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has been a rocky road until recently. Now, everything seems to be coming together for us.

Struggles in Finance, Marketing, Client Acquisition, Technology, Economic Challenges. We have a funny view of challenges. We embrace this because they always make us stronger.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the High Achievers story. Tell us more about the business.

We have two primary products as defined below:

Some of those specialties include: writing a business plan, creating a referral marketing plan, creating world class customer service, driving sales, teaching you the discipline it takes to follow through and succeed, overcoming obstacles, and ultimately “Living a Lifestyle of Achievement.”

A Catalyst Group provides accountability and idea generation from a team of like-minded individuals coming together for a common purpose: success. Monthly facilitated meetings will turn ideas into reality. We will begin the day with training on a specific business topic. (For example: customer service, operations, human resources, financial, marketing, etc.) After the training, we spend the rest of our time facilitating a peer to peer discussion group on best practices involving that month’s business topic.

Our Catalyst Program will provide incredibly high value for a price that any business owner can afford. Our team has been involved in over 25 entrepreneurial ventures, with many years of experience. The genesis of this program was in 2009, and has been developed over the years to be a world class program to help you build the business of your dreams.
