What Others Say About Action Selling Workshops With Rob
"I wanted to thank you for the time you spent with my sales team. Your passion for your work is very obvious. You took an interest in HNL as a company and in each salesperson as an individual. The way you kept everyone involved is a true talent. Sometimes salespeople want to take charge of the room, but you made sure each of us had a chance to be heard. I learned so much that I can apply in both my professional and personal life. We all need to be reminded that it is nice to talk, but it is more important to listen. As I mentioned, I am a lab tech who wanted to branch out and give sales a try. I love the idea of a set path and will do my best to stay on it. The few sales training sessions I attended in the past made me question if this job was for me. I was never able to apply the techniques as I spend much of my day servicing existing clients. I always returned quickly to my bad habits. Action Selling taught me that we sell ourselves and our company in everything that we do. I know I can take small steps toward becoming a more effective listener and be the best possible Account Executive for HNL, my clients, and myself. - Thanks again"
"Thanks for the kind words! My team is very impressed with Action Selling and especially impressed with you and the way you presented it to us. You did a phenomenal job and The Sales Board is lucky to have you on board (excuse the pun). As we experience successes, I will forward them to you for you to share. Thanks again!"
