The academy

 

Who we are.

Andreas Buhr and Wolfgang Müller understood each other on the go, at that time in 1997, when they met for the first time. Wolfang Müller, graduate degree in education, ex officer of the German army, the professional trainer, and Andreas Buhr, graduate in business administration, a 28-year-old top salesman of the Hamburg Manheimer Insurance Company who leads a team of 1000 employees and has an insurance responsibility of more than 3 billion Euro.

How it went on.

Already during the first  run the two endurance athlets fixed goals and set the course. The idea of an own training firm with the focus on leadership and sales is borne. Finally on January, 1st 2001 everything is ready: the go! Akademie für Führung und Vertrieb starts in Düsseldorf. The task distribution is easily found: Andreas Buhr goes outside on the big stage, to the media, Wolfgang Müller leads the company inside, directs projects. As a team they make sure that their customers have success. It goes without saying that it is up for both bosses to permanently develop the contents and to transfer the innovative knowledge. During the following years they expand continuesly. The go! Akademie groes. Today's balance: two CIOs, a fix internal team, 15 trainer, 40 customers and one goal: to achieve more success for persons and companies.

How we think.

What does the company  "go! Akademie für Führung und Vertrieb"stand for? Andreas Buhr and Wolfgang Müller answer this question with a clear "go! stands for the people, for the person, for the individuum, with all his/her strengths and weaknesses". The consequence of this philosophy is as simple as genial: Who helps people to be more successful gains success also for its company. The seminars, trainings and coachings base on each single individuum, a top-down and bottom-up philosophy. By doing this the go! Akademie is not a soulless event machine but a service provider who lives its philosophy and lives it out. It is a team that acts in concert. The mission is the daily routine challenge. The goal is the success. The people are the benchmarks. Nothing else.

What pushes us.

A company is made of what? Of machines, factory workshops, patents, equity? Sure. But first of all a company is made of employees and customers, of share holders and providers, in short: of people. Without people there is no movement and without movement there is nothing, either life nor progress, either upraise nor inspiration, either growth nor evolution. But who inspires the employees, the team, the customers, the providers, the partner, the share holders? Who incourages them to cope with the challenges? And, more important: where do the pioneers, the leaders, the change managers, the top sellers find the power to inspire oneself and the others? We do this. We, the go! Akademie:

  • we always seek the success factors and do not stop before finding them.
  • we always are on the front and find the champions from tomorrow.
  • we match ourselves only with the best of our sector.
  • we build a bridge between the theory and the practise, between understanding and implementation.
  • we disassemble complex topics and turn them into compact teaching and seminar modules.
  • we create innovative teaching environments and encourage the learning by doing. We offer leadership and sales solutions for every situation.
  • we consequently work in order that people go beyond themselves.
  • we are only satisfied when our customers have become "Sales machines".


Getting to the point: the success of the customer is our top priority. Our principle is: customer first. All that we tackle works. This because we are growth oriented, success oriented and people oriented. We love performance. We move.

Our mottos are:

 

"The quality of my thoughts, my questions determines my life's quality."

(Andreas Buhr)

"The big goal of education is not knowledge but action."

(Wolfgang Müller)
