Hi Terry: I just came out of another meeting to prepare ourselves for the strategic alliance visit we worked on with you last week and I noticed throughout the discussions the strong positive influence you have on the team and their new approach to selling. I can recommend your coaching and training to anybody, especially if one (like me) doesn't have the money to pay for previously proven "A" players and believes in the strength and potential of his people. In my mind, to sell high tech stuff, one doesn't only need to know how to sell (which is so well taught by you) but also how our product works, the latter takes at least 2 years (believe me, I know this from many examples). Therefore, if I evaluate my internal people first (using your evaluation) who already know our product very well, then I train them to sell well (again using you), I can cut out about 18 additional months of the technical training program that I would normally need to get to market with a new guy. That's a major time to market advantage! All I have to do is make sure that the internal people we use have the innate aptitude and potential to sell, followed by the right sales training. By the way, I have followed several other sales training courses and it was rarely more than a (contrived) procedure to get to close. I really think your approach is quite different and a lot more.
