We are salespeople. Yes, you read that right! We have more than 30 years of sales experience with $1 billion in products and services sold. Before hiring any company who promises to help you improve your sales, shouldn’t they actually understand what it’s like to walk in your shoes? We think so.
With more than 25 years of experience working with technology, we are recognized as leaders in social selling. Eight years ago people thought we were crazy when we began evangelizing the importance of salespeople leveraging social media as part of their process. And our President literally wrote the book on the topic, The New Handshake: Sales Meets Social Media was published by Praeger Publishing in August 2010. We walk our talk and use social media strategies to achieve our own sales objectives while helping our clients to do the same.
For the past decade, we have been working with organizations to rock their sales performance by incorporating assessment, strategy, training and employee development programs utilizing high-performance, tested, proven, and research-based methodologies.
