Testimonials
What our clients say
As a sales team, we’ve been able to improve our consultant and salesperson team presentations, shorten our sales cycle by weeks, and in a few cases months. The ability to sell value over price has reduced the number of discounts and price concessions we give thereby increasing margins on almost all sales. We've increased sales between 15% and 35% each of the last 10 years that we've used VBS.
We rolled out VBS both internally and to our distribution channel partners. Their excellent coaches delivered useful, powerful content with compelling role-playing exercises. All in all, VBS is a very important set of skills that we are in the process of integrating into all aspects of our operations.
In our search for a sales force training organization, we initially considered eight organizations that were thoughtfully narrowed to a final four, from which we selected Value Based Selling. Since the implementation of Value Based Selling, to more than 150 sales staff and managers, our order intake has increased by 22%.
