Life Insurance Professional

"Before your session our associates were averaging less than 30% out of a possible 100% on the 'closing' part of mystery shopper calls. Since your session every single sales manager got 100%! They nailed the closing!"

"Lenann is absolutely the best there is! I've heard Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, all the gurus, but I felt 'Yeah, I've heard all this before.' With Lenann, I changed our whole approach to selling. Lenann changes people's lives — the way they work, think and are motivated. She makes a very real, and quite incredible, difference!"


Patti Roland
(Former) Vice President Sales and Marketing
Stonebridge Homes

"As a result of working with Lenann, I have become much better at handling people who come to our booth at trade shows. We're having better conversations, which often result in interest, we do our follow-up activity in a systematic and methodical way, and we're getting purchases that I am sure we missed with our 'old approach'! Thank you so much for the great training experience!"


Tamsin Campbell
President
Decagon Devices, Inc.

"The way Lenann approaches follow-up after a workshop is just terrific. Even guys that are real green, who had no competence going on a call to a prospect now feel pretty comfortable doing that. For years to come this is going to be a great thing."


Chris Reynolds
Regional Manager
KraftMaid Cabinetry, Inc.

"Lenann Gardner has worked with the South-Central region of Marriott for years; I have personally worked with her on 3 different occasions now, each for a 6-month period. The real strength of her approach is in her coaching follow-up. She responds to each salesperson's real-world selling story every two weeks, with detailed coaching that she shares with the entire group, so we all benefit from the learning. In addition she sends an e-mailed sales tip every day — these are so helpful that I print them out and save them. I strongly recommend Lenann to any manager who wants to employ proven effective sales techniques."


Steve Benkowitz
General Manager
DFW Airport Marriott Hotel

"This is the BEST Sales Training class I have EVER taken."


Andrew S. Lang, CPA
National Director of Nonprofit Services
BDO Seidman

"You were wonderful to work with and we all learned so much from you. Three words — thorough, sharp, intense are ones that come to mind!"


Rebecca Plutino
President
Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau
Albuquerque, New Mexico

"I value Lenann's counsel and thoroughly enjoyed her book, where she lays out clearly all the things that have become so basic to our company's sales approach. If a CEO of a services company is looking for a powerful, up-to-date approach to selling, I can't imagine a better person to speak to than Lenann Gardner."


Samantha Lapin
President/CEO
POD, Inc.

"I think Lenann is excellent and have found value in every single email she sent us."


Sam Post
Publisher
Coffee News

"Really enjoyed your class last week at Sandia, I would recommend your class to all. Really liked the human factors and subtle clues about when a (sales) meeting is going well. Things that go beyond the very basic reading of body language. And human touch is better than email. Nice work!"


Norb Tencza
Quality Project Manager
Sandia National Laboratories

"Lenann’s Daily Sales tips have really helped to keep me focused and they are ‘practical’! I have listened to quite a few so called ‘sales experts,’ and none was as realistic and practical as Lenann!"


Mary Basso
Publisher
Coffee News of Florida

"Thank you very much again for the fantastic seminar. I really enjoyed it very much, and believe this will be very helpful. I love your training style; you are so entertaining and to the point. I was hanging on your lips for the whole day even though I had been up from 3 until 5 a.m. for a sales pitch conference call (wish I had taken the seminar before we made that call!). I would really appreciate a copy of your book. I feel there is so much to learn and I am sure the book can help. I hope to meet you and work with you again in the future!"


Christian Paul
Director
AlixPartners Asia LLC

"I just landed $300K in funding from the Department of Homeland Security’s Human Factors Group – historically a very difficult customer. The customer actually gave me $75K more than what I’d asked for. Since then, I have developed a trusted advisor position with this PM. She asks my opinion on program ideas and continues to send money almost without my asking for it. I attribute this success directly … specifically to the coaching I have been getting from Lenann. "


Dr. Ann Speed
Cognitive Psychologist
Sandia National Laboratories

"A real talent for effective selling is not the exclusive preserve of a few “dog and pony show specialists” or used car salespersons: it is a skill we can all develop without having to change our personalities. Selling more is something we can learn: this is what we have discovered at Heel USA with Lenann McGookey Gardner. What she teaches is based on the most up-to-date research data on what is actually working in selling. Her coaching activities are very thorough, and are part of a modern approach which makes a lot of sense. Our sales team had a great performance this month, and I am convinced that Lenann’s program had a big influence on this result."


Thierry Montfort
President and CEO
Heel USA

"I just wanted to thank you for the past 6 months of working with the Heel USA sales team. You and your team have really delivered on helping me to become a better, more confident sales person and I’m looking forward to seeing those benefits LONG into the future. Every single penny that Heel has invested in you as a consultant has been well spent and I for one am blessed to have your pearls and gems within my possession! I hope that we are able to work more with you in the future."


Lauri Parent
Account Executive
Heel USA

"I’ve learned things I’ll use forever!"


Jamin Travis Busick
Distributor / Key Account Sales
Heel USA

"Lenann’s training sessions and daily e-mails are strongly helpful and instructive for my everyday communication with business partners. But her comments on our Selling Stories, in particular, are inspiring for their detailed, personal, and to-the-point message. This is something for which I am grateful, since Lenann is lending a guiding hand through regular selling situations, which sometimes have been dealt with well, sometimes leave quite some room for improvement. And it is simply an enjoyable experience to have a skilled counterpart providing me with an exclusive tutorial and with feedback on specific selling situations I face."
