“Other sales training usually focus on processes and mechanics to succeed. Steve Martin puts the practices outlined in Heavy Hitter Selling to work during the training session. Steve's approach to training is very energetic with practical examples created during the training process involving the participants in the room. The training exercise was very thought provoking and enlightening. In this day when the fundamentals of the relationship sales effort are very hard to teach, Heavy Hitter Selling steps in and fills the void nicely.”
Jim Lewandowski, Vice President North American Sales, McAfee Software

“Most sales training is death by PowerPoint, where the trainer tries to impose their philosophy on the salespeople. This was totally different. It was engaging and completely interactive. Steve pulled out “our” experiences with examples, audience demonstrations, and the “Tales from the field” interview session. The feedback from the entire team was overwhelmingly positive.”
Marie Cabrera, Director Software Sales, IBM

“Steve Martin conducted a one-day training session for my sales and services teams. He is an extremely animated person that developed a great rapport with all of the participants. The session was short by design but I think everyone was impressed with the value of his comments on relationship-building. Most salespeople have been inundated with solution selling courses that focus on the typical aspects of the sales process. What was unique about the Heavy Hitter Selling approach is that the focus is on building the relationship and on reading the prospect/customer. The bottom line is that all of my sales people are now much more sensitized to analyzing prospects responses and determining whether is genuine or they are getting the courtesy response that is indicative of no interest.”
Jake Lamotta, Executive Vice President of Sales and Services, Americas, Mathsoft

“The Heavy Hitter Training was excellent. It will help you look into the mirror and make an honest assessment of where the imperfections are.

Earle Zucht, Senior Vice President of Sales, LogicalApps
