Steve, Thank you for your help in setting up a sales development process and training
program for our company. This is what we have been looking for to take us from
an Engineering and Technical company, which we are very good at, to a more
sales focused and accurate communication culture.
In the past we have treated sales as something that happens when we do
everything else well. Through Effective Sales Development, we have learned that
good sales people and good sales developers have a mindset and belief system
that supports the sales and communication process. However, you must first
determine what your company requires, which gives you the true sales position,
identify your ideal client and set up the validation procedures to verify that the
sales candidate in front of you can and will do the job specified. Your
management life becomes much easier. We find that the process of evaluation,
coupled with accountability by including managers in the training, is key for
acceptance and implementation.
I highly recommend your process for anyone who is unhappy with their current
results or if they just want to raise the bar on current productivity. The process is
not easy. As an owner, you and all your people have to be willing to look in the
mirror and make some changes. This has been a great program for upgrading
our organization and moving us from doing unpaid consulting to relationship and
accountability selling to both our internal and external customers. Thank you.

Testimonials
"Steve Montague is a professional - not in the cookie-cutter, inside of the box way, but in that he champions integrity, maturity, discretion, and honesty in an industry enamored by the next trick of the trade or way around the rules.
If you've ever wondered whether your sales force is ruining your reputation in a desperate attempt to close the next deal, take the initiative to connect with Steve." - Nathan Goodpasture, Manufacturing Aficionado
"I encourage everyone who's serious about developing in their profession to work with a coach. If you're in sales, I highly recommend you work with Steve Montague and the team at Effective Sales Development to improve your habits and results.
Steve's invaluable influence and coaching helped me identify and improve my own personal blind spots in regard to the sales process. Regardless of how well my intentions to focus on a prospect's needs and solutions, my lack of PROCESS would increase the time involved to clarify the outcomes and timeline. Steve and his team teach the tools (Sandler Sales Training), provide honest feedback and ask core questions to help you recognize how to improve. They've helped me feel much more comfortable and effective in my sales role, and to spend less time than necessary with potential clients - saving my clients' as well as my own time.
Furthermore, the substance of Sandler training is universal. You'll find yourself using the same techniques and analysis to understand your own perspective and relate better to spouses, children, co-workers, and surly drivers. If you're committed to improving yourself and your life, give Steve a call." - Bonnie Mahar Smith, Mktg. & Bus. Development, Saint Lukes
"If you want to develop your sales team into a consistent high performance mode seriously consider this approach. Be prepared for a challenge and be prepared for vastly improved results." - Donald Death, CEO at Readiness Rounds
