On behalf of the CPSA, thank you for speaking at the Calgary Breakfast Club on September 25, 2002. Your presentation, Become a "Big Game" Hunter and Closer, was the highlight of our series.

The feedback received from the audience was great. Comments like "You can always learn from an expert, no matter how confident you are with your present skills", "Great involvement of audience to reinforce issues", "Enlightening" and "Great session" were received. In fact, 90% of the audience rated your content and/or delivery as "Excellent". Most importantly it seems everyone had a good time and left with a renewed sense of purpose and energy.

Carol Helston
Program Leader, Canadian Professional Sales Association




I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your staff on an excellent course! My team and myself have found over the last month that with implementation of your methods we are having a higher success rate. One of our new team members, who had a hard time before with making cold calls, now has the confidence and one might say, character, to be able to accomplish these with ease. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on the new book.

I needed to tell you how wonderful your "Cold Call" seminar was for me. I had just started outside sales about a year ago and was very uncomfortable with the whole process.

After attending your seminar it gave me the tools to use the "butterflies" to help me achieve the results we all want out of these courses, more sales.

I have two scripts, but the one that is from your course, with a couple word changes has been the most successful for me. It was hard to get comfortable using it, but about 3 weeks of constant practice has paid off. I now schedule about 8 appointments a week and that is double what I was doing on my own. These are either new customers or ones that we had not been able to deal with in a long time.

Cold Calling Strategies for Chickens, Cowards and the Faint-of-Heart!

Still haven't picked up that phone? Completely overcome the fear of rejection!

The best system in the world will fail if the participants are unable to manage the six fears that dismantle their sales efforts. This course uncovers and provides an action plan to eliminate fears and obstacles that come between them and success. The participants will learn why and how, in a one- to three-minute cold call, it is necessary for a salesperson to:

  • Have the clients sit up and listen in the first 10 seconds.
  • Deliberately activate, and then dismantle, the prospect's oppositional agenda: "I will not be sold to!"
  • Use specific language to advance the sale; learn what never to say.
  • Tap into the client's own enlightened self-interest.
  • Welcome objections and use them to pull the prospect/client towards you instead of their objections working to push you away.
  • Increase chances of getting the appointment from 25% to 75% in one simple step.

Selling to the High Cs: the CEO, CFO, COO, and the CIO

Learn how to sell to the top decision makers and write proposals that they understand and act upon. Too many salespeople are like a blind dog in a meat house, taking what is right before their nose because it is easy. Discernment and the right selling skills can take you from reaction to results.

Big Game Hunters and Closers generate a steady supply of income for their company and in doing so provide the CEO with something to sell to the bankers, brokers, employees, and shareholders - performance - the essence of their company. This program helps salespeople develop the skills and laser-like focus to become Big Game Hunters and Closers and have more than their share of top clients. Their client lists will be coveted by the competition! This presentation delivers on the specific language, manner of presenting, and process for selling to the top.

Leadership Strategies for Bringing Out the Best in People

Inspire others to reach high and succeed; become a leader who is famous for results.

Whereas a manager can easily work with an employee's strengths, a leader is an alchemist who can work with an employee to transform their weaknesses into strengths!

An ancient proverb states: If we all pulled in one direction the world would keel over. It takes all kinds of people to make a great team, and handling the tough ones can be more rewarding than the easy-to-manage types! The best teams are composed of differences in knowledge, skills, and attitude. It is by leveraging the differences that enable each individual to set their sights to do and be more than they ever anticipated. Leaders consistently develop themselves, and their employees, to practice the ART of Leadership©: Accountable, Responsible, and Trustworthy towards themselves and others.

Forgive and Forget: A Path to Peace of Mind

There are four kinds of forgiveness and each is blocked by resentment. The opposite of forgiveness is resentment and the path out of resentment is compassion.

Imagine a garden watering can sitting for a few days with just a teaspoon of battery acid added to the water inside. Irreparable damage is done to that can. Holding resentment, blame, and anger wreaks similar havoc on the core of our being.

Aside from feeling peace of mind, there are other benefits to releasing resentment. As an example, let us view our heart as a container that holds the capacity to feel ten gallons of emotion. When resentment, anger, and fear occupy eight gallons, there is only room for two gallons of creativity and love. When our heart has a diminished capacity, it makes sense that the overall results in our lives must also be diminished. You cannot fill a ten-gallon bucket with gold and diamonds when it is already occupied with sand and rocks!

What does it take to change and move from feeling resentment of others and ourselves to forgiveness? The solution is easier than you might think. Although the timing may differ for everyone, the process is similar, and that is the purpose of this program.

The People Side of Technology: How to Keep 'Bits and Bytes' from Becoming 'Fits and Fights'!

This course is a practical, thinking person's guide to dealing with different personalities and 'soft-skills' issues.

Most projects would stay on time and on budget if we just did not have to deal with personality conflicts and communication issues between project stakeholders. For a project to go well the stakeholders, need to be fluent in dealing with both principles and personalities.

Participants will learn:

  • How to get peers or those with higher authority to do what you want - and what the project needs

  • The art of getting what you want through influence rather than demands

  • How to give and receive critical and non-critical feedback in a way that can be heard and acted upon

  • Coaching skills that create clear accountabilities and responsibilities

  • How to spot the language of résistance and non-buy-in-from yourself and others

  • Uses of passive and active voice for more effective communication
