Gail has a very compelling testimonial about the transformational change in the approach to the sales process that can be achieved by applying the “TQPQ” methodology from Sales Builders. Gail contacted Sales Builders through a referral. She was interviewing sales training consultants for a Global Sales meeting she was planning for her company. She had interviewed a variety of organizations, but engaged with Sales Builders because of the unique and results orientated approach to consultative selling. Gail attended the training and was intrigued by the tactical qualities, real life case studies, the concept of controlling the sales cycle and the benefits of becoming a trusted advisor in the eyes of the customer. Her interest peeked when she applied the sales tactics she had learned to numerous sales situations and the tactics worked! She was so enthusiastic about this new found knowledge and success that she decided she wanted to share what she had learned with other organizations. Gail approached Sales Builders and is now an intricate part of our team.
