“What have I seen as a result of the training you provided? Prospects in my sales funnel I have never seen before. Much better qualifications. Confirmation of business need from businesspeople as well as technical buyers. Confirmation that the value proposition we offer is attractive to the companies who have passed the qualification stage. Salespeople who are confident about what they are doing, excited about their careers, and excited about their financial future.”

“Dear Ron, Thanks again for doing such an excellent job with our training session in June. It was exactly what we needed. The techniques you taught were easy to grasp and worked well for all of our salespeople, regardless of their experience or openness to new ideas. The techniques were practical, they addressed our greatest needs, and it was obvious that they would make a difference. Then, when we all started to put them to work in the practice calls, all I can say is “Wow!” We sold more during the demo calls that we invested in the training. Now that is ROI! Its been about seven weeks since the training and I’ve seen a clear and positive difference in the way we sell and the way we think. I’ve participated in a lot of training in my career, but I’ve never seen a program that impacted performance so directly. The workshop clearly exceeded our expectations.”
