    I partner with Entrepreneurs and Businesses to Grow their profits by Empowering, Leveraging and Maximizing Individuals and Teams through Leadership and Creative Technologies.

    When I was 9 years old, a troupe of touring Actors came into my middle school in Phoenix, AZ and transported me to a world of Make Believe- sets, costumes, music, characters and transformed my school gymnasium into a whole world of possibilities! That day I declared, “I wanna do THAT when I grow up!” Twelve years later, I worked for THAT company and toured with them for 5 seasons bringing theater arts into the lives and minds of youth all over the Southwest! I saw the tangible power that confidence, clear vision, creativity, and unlocking the imagination of my inner child could have in my life! When do we stop allowing that inner child to create worlds on our behalf? My vision is to inspire people to DREAM and PLAY again- specifically by putting practical tools into their hands, hearts and minds that connect them directly to their most creative inner Self. How I do that is through Improv Technology.

  • Eddie Hill

    Selected Speaker Topic Titles:

    • High-Functioning Teams and Organizations – We have all been on great teams and bad teams. The key is knowing how to be a high-functioning organization. Eddie Hill will go over the keys to the four stages of a team. Stage four is full steam ahead. Most groups and organizations never make it because they don’t know the five things you must do to excel. Eddie will cover this, beginning with knowing your purpose to making sure everyone is included in every way. The best part of the presentation is that it is interactive, and the group will really enjoy the activities and conversation.
    • D.I.S.C. Personality Inventory– Over five million people have taken the D.I.S.C. Inventory, which tells people their individual strengths and weaknesses. Each person goes online and answers 24 simple questions.  Each person will receive a personal report at our session. Eddie goes over the results and does it in a very fun way. There are four types of people: 1. Direct people (we all know who they are!) Inspiring people (always upbeat and optimistic but talk way too much), Steady workers, not leaders, but you can always count on them, and the thinkers. (Great at problem solving, but can be slow and not always personable). So, how do all these folks function together at a high level? Eddie will explain and do it in an entertaining way.
    • Team Work More Fun More Productive– Maybe what your group needs is to laugh and enjoy each other more. This session will include activities that prove the value of working together. Eddie has led over 1,000 fun session groups. He is often asked to speak to the same groups over and over forcing him to come up with some new “crap”!  The group can choose different activities, including Minute to Win It, service options like bike builds or packing boxes for the troops. Let’s be creative and come up with something cool.
    • Board Retreats- Do something fun and interactive! Eddie will plan a 2, 4, or 6-hour outing using many of the topics and ideas mentioned in other sessions, including the stages of a team, leadership 101, and the D.I.S.C. inventory, which will help everyone to understand what makes the other board members tick. The retreat is a mixture of fun and substance. Eddie will coordinate with the leaders and come up with a customized event.

    Why should I choose NationWide?
    Great question. So many companies offer similar products to the ones we offer, so why NationWide? Sure we offer great quality, competitive pricing, expert service and guaranteed turnaround times. But the most important part of NationWide is our people and our process. Our staff is eager to help and they have the professional expertise to handle your project.

    How can the prices be so inexpensive?
    A better question would be why do some companies charge so much? We don’t know. At NationWide we work hard to keep the process simple while offering the best possible product. We also don’t spend a large amount of money sending you catalogs and flyers in the mail. In the end the customer pays for these expenses through higher prices on products. Someone has to pay for all of that advertising. We also focus on what we are good at. There are a lot of things that we don’t do, but that allows us to concentrate our efforts on being the best. And because NationWide is the best you will experience great quality and fast turnaround at a better price than other companies. On the other hand if it makes you feel better to spend more money, just throw a few extra dollars in with your order and we will buy everyone here a pizza. Thanks in advance.

    Is the NationWide quality good? Is there a standard to which you hold?
    Our quality is unmatched, and yes we have a standard. We actually hold ourselves to multiple standards. Our printing is to SWOP standards and our CD/DVD replication is to ISO standards. SWOP is a printing standard set by the printing industry to measure several aspects of printing quality on a press sheet. Things like ink density, slurring, offseting, and other technical issues are reviewed in an effort to produce the best possible printed piece. Most people are aware of ISO. This is an industry association and standard used to insure quality manufactured products. At NationWide we won’t ever take shortcuts on quality.

    Live call answering

    Our friendly, professional, US-based receptionists will make sure all your incoming calls are answered promptly and handled according to your specific instructions.

    We can book appointments, take messages, transfer calls, answer questions, or even hang up on telemarketers. Allow us to handle the phones while you handle your business.

    Outbound calls

    Our Epic Receptionists can do more than just answer calls; we can make calls for you as well.

    Our outbound calls can perform many services: from appointment reminders to follow-up sales calls. We can even make a dinner reservation! – you name it. The ability to customize our outbound feature to fit your needs means less day to day stress for you. Just give us the details, and we can make the calls.

    Dedicated receptionists team

    No robots or impersonal call centers answer your phone at Epic Receptionists. Instead, we provide you with a small dedicated team to answer all your calls. You and your receptionist team will become familiar with each other and be able to communicate directly. This way, Epic Receptionists can operate as an extension of your business.

    Call summary delivered via email

    A member of your receptionist team will capture any and all information about the caller and send you a summary via email or text after each call. This way, you can always be in the loop with your phone calls and your business.

    Have a specific piece of information you want from each caller? Maybe a particular question you want each caller to answer? No problem! We can customize what information we capture at no extra cost.

    Don’t get caught off guard with calls you don’t want.

    Your team of receptionists will pass along only the calls you want or expect. We will screen and announce any phone calls before we transfer them to you. And if you are not available at that moment, we will take a message from the call and send it to you via email or text.

    You can forward and not forward your calls according to your schedule, whether that’s all the time, a couple of hours a day, or a few days a week.

    Call overflow

    Missing customers because you are too busy with other customers is one of the worst feelings an entrepreneur can experience. We can make sure this never happens again! We can design a plan where your phone rings a certain amount of times before Epic Receptionists takes over. This feature gives you peace of mind and allows you to attend to the business at hand.

    Appointment scheduling

    Scheduling appointments is a vital task, but your expertise is best applied elsewhere in your business. Our receptionists can access your online calendar (Google Calendar, iCalendar, or Office365) and book an appointment based on your availability.

    Custom call answering experience

    We don’t expect every business to have the same cookie-cutter greeting with an identical way to collect information from their customers. Epic Receptionists will happily answer calls the exact way you want them to be answered. Just provide a customized script, and we will do the rest.

    Have a specific piece of information you want from each caller? Maybe a particular question to ask? No problem! We can customize and capture any information you want.

    Our Epic Receptionists are here to handle any incoming calls when you are not able to. But everyone needs some well-deserved rest once in a while. Any calls received outside of our hours of operation will be sent to your custom voicemail box. We will send any voicemails you receive as an audio attachment to your email.

    Toll-free or local number included

    Keep your existing phone number! We will provide you with a local or toll-free phone number that is unique to your business. You then would forward your current business calls to that number, or if you prefer, publish the number we provide you with on your website, online business listings, and marketing materials.
