Mattel and Fisher-Price

McGraw-Hill published our book, Own the Room, and we named the Mattel course to match the book title. Based on requests, we added Communication Skills to the mix. Mattel added professionals from HR, Shipping, and Accounting.

 

Over many years, Mattel has hired Eloqui to train sales and marketing divisions, customer insight teams, and executives in El Segundo, CA. and at Fisher-Price in East Aurora, NY.

 

Eloqui was then sent to train the entire Mattel Canada team, including President Sanjay Luthra. We have since trained senior executives throughout Mattel for presentations to their superiors and Board, delivered workshops on everything from PowerPoint to Managing Anxiety, and conducted strategy sessions to ensure their success.

Years ago, a Mattel executive attended an Eloqui public

workshop on a colleague’s recommendation. The exec wanted

to tune up his presentation skills to accelerate his

advancement. He then referred Eloqui to Mattel’s Executive Learning Center in El Segundo, CA.

Our relationship began with a course in Presentation Skills. Mattel sent us a mix of Marketing, Design and Sales professionals who regularly present to toy store reps at

Walmart; Toys R Us; and Target; film studios like Disney for matching product lines with their movies; and vendors like GM

for the Hot Wheels line. The attendees left the course with

greater confidence, improved presentations, and ways to

communicate what sets them apart. Word spread and their colleagues wanted the same for themselves.

I thought Id let you know how well my presentation with GM went. As a reminder, my intent was to get them so excited that the agency people would organize a second meeting with the GM Brand Team. I opened with my statement "boys who love cars become men who love cars" and I had them as soon as I showed the photo of Jay Leno. I closed with my OSB and as I was leaving, they asked how many cars I want! My favorite comment was This was an hour really well spent". 

​

I found your 'Own the Room' Training to be one of the best sessions I had in my lengthy tenure at Mattel." 
 

I really enjoyed our 3 sessions together and feel that you've given me some incredibly powerful tools to work with. Thank you.
