WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
WINNING SALES TECHNIQUES
John has a gift for being able to present winning sales techniques in a way that is easy to comprehend, retain and more importantly implement. His passion for sales is infectious and undeniable. He makes you a better sales person, period. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking to grow their business and improve their sales force.
-Vincent Verducci, Regional Sales Manager
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I highly recommend anyone who is looking to improve their sales game to take John's trainings. John's knowledge of traditional and nontraditional selling techniques and sales methodology is his key differentiator from other sales trainers.
Outside of his trainings, John is down-to-earth and is willing to help others succeed.
-Dan Houck, Commercial Sales
TRAINING THAT STICKS
We hired John to train our BDRs and Growth segment AEs during a pivotal time at Talkdesk and in less than two weeks, his training has become the nucleus for our entire outreach strategy; we're already seeing an uptick in email responses, increased rep confidence in cold calls, and more meetings of value being set up meetings for Dreamforce 2017.
There are trainings where reps are taken off of the phones for a day or two, only to disregard everything they've learned a short time later. There are also trainings that keep you engaged and motivate you to change for the better with practices you can put into action the same day. John firmly belongs in the latter camp and we're expecting a successful Q4 and beyond partly due to him; I cannot stress enough that his training is well worth the investment and then some.
- Ilan Kopecky, Inside Sales and Development Leader
ULTRA LOGICAL APPROACH
I've been a geek for training and personal development for the last 10 years and John's high-integrity, ultra-logical approach to prospecting, selling, and negotiating the close stands out from the crowd by a mile. Thanks for the great coaching John! Let me know when you ink your book deal! (it can't be far off...)
