For over 30 years I have led and coached high performing, winning sales organizations of all sizes in a variety of industries. I work with CEO’s, business owners and sales leaders who rely on their salesforce to expand the customer base and consistently generate profitable sales… but find that their salespeople are not always up to the task. By helping the salesforce reorganize its sales process around a defined set of activities and specific, measurable benchmarks, they are able to identify, qualify, and close high-quality opportunities more quickly, profitably, and consistently, even in markets where there are larger, more established firms.
