David Shavzin/The Value Track

David Shavzin created The Value Track to help business owners build value and create a path towards a successful exit. Too often, they have not built the value they need and are unprepared when the time comes to put their transition into action.

Since 2000, David has helped business owners get on The Value Track. He helps them think through their long-term goals and plans, educates them on business value and brings the right collaborative advisory team around the table. He then assists in the implementation of value-growth initiatives, guiding them to a successful transition (sale, family transfer, etc.). His 7-step process improves their quality of life and allows them to exit on their own terms.

A frequent speaker on these topics, David is a CMC, former IMC Georgia chapter president, and President and Co-Founder of Exit Planning Exchange Atlanta, formed to bring advisors together in a collaborative effort to serve their clients.

Monte Ortel/Mitsubishi Electric Classic

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic is a PGA TOUR Champions event hosted annually at TPC Sugarloaf.

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic returns to the metro Atlanta area April 13-19, 2020 and features legends of the game such as Tom Watson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Bernhard Langer, John Daly, Vijay Singh, and David Toms. The Mitsubishi Electric Classic proudly stands as a premier golf tournament on the PGA TOUR Champions, but this event is much more than a golf tournament.

The events and activities associated with the Mitsubishi Electric Classic provide an all-inclusive, entertaining atmosphere and the beautiful views of TPC Sugarloaf serve as a backdrop for world-class golf and provide the perfect venue to mingle with friends and business leaders while watching the legends of the game.

The event, which will benefit local charities through the Gwinnett Championship Foundation Inc., has raised over $2.3 million since the first tournament in 2013. All three rounds of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic are televised internationally by the Golf Channel.

Mike Maloney/TPC Sugarloaf

Situated on 1,200 acres of breathtaking Georgia countryside within the gated community of Sugarloaf Country Club, TPC Sugarloaf offers a winning combination. In addition to 27 holes of magnificent golf designed by Greg Norman, TPC Sugarloaf offers an array of amenities with the personalized service and privileges that have become synonymous with the PGA TOUR’s acclaimed TPC Network of premier clubs.

TPC Sugarloaf’s par-72, 7,259-yard championship golf course is comprised of nine holes called “The Stables” and nine holes named “The Meadows.” Named by Golf Digest among the “Best New Private Clubs in the U.S.” when it debuted in 1997, and by Golfweek among the “Top 100 Best Residential Golf Courses for 2007-2008,” TPC Sugarloaf’s featured 18 holes are accented by tree-lined Bermuda fairways, streams, lakes and hills.

Traction Point helps small and medium sized businesses to Create Success Faster! Every successful business needs an operating system. EOS, The Entrepreneurial Operating System, is a way of harmonizing and orchestrating all the moving parts of your business to help you run a better business and live a better life!

Chris provides professional training to give your team a proven system and the leadership skills they need to take you to the next level! They coach companies that are ready for transformation! You’re not just looking to dabble or pick up a few ideas from a seminar. You are committed to growth. Your team is willing to be open, honest and vulnerable with themselves and the people around them! You’re more afraid of the status quo than you are of change!

A few years out of college, Chris Spear did something everyone told him was stupid! He walked away from a great job and co-founded a software company. The team “bootstrapped” to $2 million dollars in revenue, a dozen employees, and was acquired in year three by a public company. This launched Chris into roles at a few really big companies.

At IKON/Ricoh, he led sales and marketing process implementation for a field sales organization of over 5000 reps. At Extra Space Storage, a real estate company, he led sales and operations process implementation as the company grew from 300 to over 700 locations. Through all this Chris learned he had a “superpower” for scaling businesses. But he didn’t want to just do something big, he wanted to do something that mattered! This is when he found a growing software company called Infusionsoft. Their purpose “To Help Small Businesses Succeed” was so compelling to him, that he joined them to lead operations and systems as they grew from $50M to more than $100M in revenue.

With a “small business success” fire in his belly, Chris happened on the EOS book “Traction.” He was truly shocked to find that everything he had learned about how to scale a business through years of painful trial and error was there in one harmonious system. Chris was hooked and is now on a mission to help hundreds of small businesses change the world and get more of what they want from their businesses!
