Fabio Marques Business Excellence Consultant since 1996 · President, National Speakers Association | Florida 2026 - 2027

I Did Not Start on Stage. I Started Where the Numbers Were Real.

Twelve years old at my first job. Twenty-one running a business unit. More than thirty years later, the thing I have never stopped seeing is this: the organizations that truly excel are never exceptional at one thing. They are aligned across three.

Where This Came From

Before the method, there was a business that had to work.

I went to work at twelve. Not as a story to tell later — because that is what the situation required. What it taught me early is that results are measured, pressure is constant, and trust is the only thing you cannot invoice for.

Then came three organizations where leadership, sales performance and service quality are not enrichment programs but survival requirements: Siemens, then IBM, then Alcon Surgical. At Alcon, in 1992, I was made General Manager of a business unit. I was twenty-one, and the unit was losing ground in a market where competitors were winning on price and pressure.

Nobody handed me a method. I had a team, a market that was beating us, and no budget for being wrong twice.

So we rebuilt the operation around four non-negotiables — and kept them non-negotiable on the weeks it would have been easier not to.

Leadership that models integrity In the decisions and in the relationships, not in the values poster.

Sales that sells on value So that price stops being the only lever anyone reaches for.

Service that keeps the promise So that loyalty becomes a strategy rather than a hope.

A team aligned on all three So that execution is consistent when nobody is watching.

What happened between 1992 and 1995

2% → 87%Market share, over four years.

3rdMost profitable operation in its segment, worldwide.

4 yearsThe whole arc, start to finish.

That result is mine as an operator, not a client's. It is the reason I can say the rest of this without hedging: I am not describing what I have read about alignment. I am describing what I had to build when the alternative was losing the business.

From the Stage

Leadership affects sales. Sales affects service. Service affects loyalty. And integrity affects everything.

What Came Out of It

Three disciplines that most companies buy separately.

Thirty years and four thousand presentations later, the same pattern keeps presenting itself. Companies hire a sales trainer, then a leadership coach, then a service consultant, and wonder why the numbers do not move. They are not three problems. They are three forces of one result.

Leadership Excellence

Create the environment.

Leaders set the standard everyone else lives by. When what leaders say differs from what they approve, no amount of training downstream survives the difference.

Sales Excellence

Communicate the value.

The best salespeople do not sell. They help clients make decisions that are genuinely good for them, and build value so clearly that price stops being the conversation.

Service Excellence

Deliver the promise.

Service is where every promise sales made is either honored or broken — and where a relationship is deepened, or quietly ended.

That is the Magna Influence Method. Magna is Latin for something of great distinction — the fruit of true excellence — and I chose it deliberately, because influence is the power to make a positive difference, or it is not influence at all. Inside it sit the frameworks people know me for: MAGNA, CAVAR, the HANDY Success Formula, PIB Selling and PRIMO.

What It Is Like to Work Together

I do not do one hour of inspiration and disappear.

My work is designed for sustained engagement, because real change does not happen in a single event. Whether it is a keynote that opens a new conversation, a workshop that builds one specific skill, or a multi-year transformation program, the commitment on my end is the same: show up prepared, deliver measurable value, and stay engaged with your results.

Align

On the outcome you need, who is actually in the room, and what has already been tried.

Customize

The message to your culture, your industry and your goals. Your examples, not mine.

Deliver

With energy and interaction, and with tools your people can use the following Monday.

Reinforce

Optional — coaching, implementation sessions, long-term support where it is wanted.

No celebrity syndrome. No rigid scripts. No manipulation. Just expertise, integrity, and the kind of honesty that makes real change possible.

From the Stage

You can promise as much as you want, as long as you deliver as much as you promise.

★★★★★

I worked with Fabio on multiple occasions. My team had glowing reviews for this ability to connect with audiences from any background and language, in a positive and direct way. In addition, I had a series of 1:1 coaching sessions with Fabio that helped me strategize in my role and face challenges in a more objective way. His guidance and mentorship were very valuable to me and helped me become a better leader.

Recognition

What made that one land was the company it put me in. The list included Brené Brown, Patrick Lencioni and Simon Sinek — people I have studied, learned from, and deeply respect.

I also serve as President of the National Speakers Association | Florida for 2026 - 2027, and as President of the International Excellence Society. One is a profession I was elected to serve. The other is an organization I built.

You do not grow by competing on price. You grow by creating undeniable value.
