Your presentation and “delivery” of the material was perfect for our sales meeting. You were able to combine statistical information, industry standards, as well as provide helpful selling tools that will enable our staff to take our sales to the next level.
Your ability to present the information in a humorous and entertaining way allowed for our group to feel that they were not being lectured, or instructed to act in a certain way(hey, after all….these are sales people and are all experts!!). As a result, our sales team walked away with a very positive attitude, and were reminded of the traits that transform an ordinary sales person into a truly great sales person. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me just to tell me how much they enjoyed your presentation. I can tell you from experience, compliments from our sales force are very few and far between. You were able to let everyone set aside egos, and really look inward to his or her own selling techniques. As a result, we will benefit from a more enthusiastic and motivated sales force. Garrison, thank you for making our sales meeting a true success!! Steven G. Boubel, Director of Procurement & Logistics, Tyco/MES Fire & Security

Sales Speaker Recommendations
You spoke at our rally last month. The response was phenomenal. We believe you made a real difference in the morale and education of our people. Thank you for the effort you put into your research. The knowledge of our industry was the key. I personally have benefited from your relationship approach and have increased my average monthly performance by approximately 25% accordingly. I have been in sales for several years and I feel that I learned as much in the one hour we had with you as I did in the entire year prior.

His realistic look at building relationships and reading customer body language connects sales, motivation, accountability, and humor in a way that promotes implementation.
