Clyde Fessler

Vice president of business development for Harley-Davidson Motor Company for over 20 years, Clyde has been recognised as the marketing genius behind this dramatic turnaround. Clyde's presentation captures the Harley-Davidson turnaround story and adds mystique... the ability of the brand to bring together, in unique and surprising ways, seemingly disparate combinations of products, people, processes, and experiences.

Clyde Fessler has presented his Harley Davidson Turn-Around Story to over 100 corporations and international organisations in the past three years as a keynote speaker.

His presentation addresses re-inventing the business with specifics on:

    * Building a brand
    * Customer bonding
    * Satisfying customer expectations
    * Changing the image of the company
    * The business process
    * Creating the vision
    * Creating the mission
    * Defining goals/objectives
    * Define strategies
    * Staying on track
    * Creating the "passion" at the corporate management level as well as the employee level
    * Changing the culture of the organization through a business process

As a proven, experienced, successful marketing strategist, Clyde will motivate your audience and help direct them to a renewed, heightened level of achievement to reach your goals with pride through a focused business plan including team playing.

Client Ovations: Clyde hit the long ball home run for us. We have had several requests for the speaker info regarding Clyde. Clyde and his wife's attendance at the receptions Friday night was also viewed as a great added value and to their credit was noticed by our attendees (the important folks) not just the management. The most often repeated line from the attendees "this was the best Saturday in our history." A large part of that is directly related to Clyde.

Our meeting was a success and Clyde Fessler was one of the main reasons for that success. WMS couldn't have selected a more appropriate speaker for our meeting. His message of the Harley Davidson re-emergence rang home with our audience. Clyde grabbed everyone's attention as he provided examples of the challenges they faced, the actions implemented and the results of their efforts. He did a fantastic job of engaging our management team. In short, with Clyde's presentation we achieved our goals for the meeting!

Clyde's experience with Harley Davidson during their struggles and eventual comeback gave us much to ponder. All of our attendees continue to express how much they enjoyed Clyde's presentation. His arrival on the Harley was spectacular and added to the excitement we hoped to generate from our General Session.

Thank you so much for being a part of our Century 21 Leadership Conference in Phoenix and Boca Raton. Your message on the history of Harley Davidson and the 4 Ps of marketing, with the 5th P being the most important... people, was FANTASTIC! Thank you for making our meeting a special one by sharing your passion for brand and giving back to the people.

Debra Chandler, Century 21

I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent seminar and keynote address out in Portland. Your credibility and experience added greatly to our meeting. From the time you rolled out on the Harley, the guys knew you were serious about sales and marketing. Also, thanks again for attending the dinners with our group. It wasn't necessary at all, but they were excited to talk motorcycles and business with you over some nice meals. I look forward to working with you again down the road, and feel free to pass along my reference to anybody who needs one.
