Testimonials
"The team has really taken so much out of this program. It is amazing how many things that you brought up that I heard myself think 'how many times have I been saying that'. Last week one of our team had a real success story because he listened to what you said and went back to a client, who had been stonewalling him, but he didn't give up, and kept trying and finally got through to them. The next day he closed a 6 figure deal. I see the difference in the sales team - that they are picking up the information and using it."
Stuart Smith, National Sales Manager - BFX BizFurn
"Our purpose was to set up our team with a “mindset for growth”; we wanted a session which provided the team with tangible tools they could use following the session and would resonate with people at all levels of the business. Michael capably and confidently delivered this requirement, fully engaging a large group in a workshop and integrating our need for ‘fun’ into the overall session."
