The Sales Activator® Customer Feedback

 

“The best training we’ve ever had! A fundamental part of the programme’s success was the use of The Sales Activator®, a ground breaking sales development system which helped to motivate the Helmsman teams and improve their sales performance in a fun and relaxed environment.”

Anne Rivett, MBE
Managing Director

"I wanted to thank you for introducing The Sales Activator® to Builder’s 1st Choice. As a Director of Training & Development, I have worked with many different training programs. With over 20 years of management, and training experience, I have never seen anything like this before. The buy-in from our entire organization has been tremendous. Whenever we utilize The Sales Activator®, my email box gets inundated with the most amazing feedback. The sales teams are now calling each other.

Although we have only owned The Sales Activator® since March, we believe that it has paid for itself. We have been reshaping our training department and this sales simulator has been the starting point in making our new program fun! The Sales Activator® has also blended in nicely with the other programs that we have implemented."

Not only do our salespeople really enjoy using them, but we have noted a distinct improvement in their sales performance overall and their willingsness to share knowledge and best practice . It is a brilliant tool and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to encourage and motivate their sales team."

 “I just wanted to let you know that I think your Sales Activator® is brilliant. In my opinion this product could change the face of learning in the future. I have almost come to a conclusion that we waste our money and time training, no matter how good the program/consultant, and for the following reasons:

  • No one learns who has not chosen to
  • Time is such an issue in business today
  • Learning is becoming far more job technically specific
  • Difficulty in shifting line managers from the old style management to also include the leadership coaching role
  • Little difference in behaviour viewed post programs
  • Cost of training in a continent like Africa re. geographic spread-travel and accommodation is an added 40% onto training investment … see, I have learnt
  • Consultants however, are not able to deal with business issues in training, this often hampers the effectiveness of the individual/group learning

Your product addresses most of these:

  • People learn without realising and get the added benefit of learning from additional input from delegates who have years of experience
  • It can be done as and when there is a team meeting
  • No extra resource is required
  • The coaching role can be shared across teams, within teams spreading the skill of coaching
  • The business manager is present dealing with the system and context issues around training
  • The product holds the opportunity of being converted into any technical business area eg. finance, logistics etc. Same structure and game, different content
  • AND IT IS FUN!

Congratulations! A great product from an obviously enormously creative mind … not to mention the triangular dice.”

“The Sales Activator® is a unique learning dynamic that adds tremendous support to the sales coach or manager in delivering consistent team performance. Working within sales development and having trained hundreds of salespeople, it can be difficult finding a learning dynamic that really adds value. Look no further, The Sales Activator® will enable you to have a great platform to build consistent learning messages for your team, whether it is through formal or informal interventions. Great tool, great value.”

Nick Savastano MBA

“What makes or breaks the success for sales training is the ongoing reinforcement by sales management. When you hire a sales trainer, they introduce concepts and best practices, but for the training to really stick, weekly reinforcement must happen! Historically the challenge for sales management is they had no tools for reinforcement so they were forced to keep me on board for extended periods of time. When sales management use The Sales Activator®, they provide the perfect reinforcement. You only use me to fill in the gaps when necessary. That means more sales in shorter time!”

Andy Miller

Jay Abraham says, “Andy Miller is one of the top consultative sales trainers I have met.”

"The Sales Activator® is a highly effective way to maintain high selling standards in our company and it's absolutely perfect for new sales managers who lack experience in leadership.
