Award-winning public speaker Hector Montalvo of Source Marketing Direct delivered an uplifting speech to rising stars in South Africa’s sales and marketing industry, held at the One and Only Hotel in Cape Town’s vibrant waterfront. Mr. Montalvo raised points concerning the importance of personal development and motivation when looking to excel as a business-owner.
South Africa has a few tricks up its sleeve, despite the seemingly ominous socio-political turmoil looming over the economy. The combination of a young and growing population, rapid urbanization, and accelerating technological growth means a goldmine is there for entrepreneurs who can find the right vein. For a new business owner or a ready-to-roll start-up, well-learnt lessons on how to keep up motivation are simply invaluable.
Mr. Montalvo, Managing Director of Source Marketing Direct and industry-renowned public speaker, has provided guidance for a group of over 250 entrepreneurs in the UK and Ireland – and already put over 20 people into business for themselves. Moreover, he has a record of giving motivational speeches worldwide at major industry events and has previously received the President’s Club Award in recognition of his outstanding organisational growth and leadership.
Given the dynamic socio-economic climate of South Africa, budding entrepreneurs and business owners in the country will always face challenges in mentoring fledgling salespeople and consultants. However, the audience listened attentively as Mr. Montalvo addressed areas of importance to his personal development over the last 10 years of business ownership, and how it impacted maintaining his role as a relatable leader.
Mr. Montalvo’s views held strong during the post-speech Q&A as certain points went through a back-and-forth. It was clear that his speech had been thought-provoking given the calibre of questions asked. Mr. Montalvo remained steadfast and impressed on the audience’s valuable insights.
Source Marketing Direct focus on direct, face-to-face sales through event based marketing and business solicitations. The privately owned, outsourced marketing firm has thrived in the industry, through their belief in entrepreneurial success and professional development, which is highly encouraged and sought after – regardless of geographic location.
