Samantha McKenna and the whole team at #samsales has been an invaluable partner to my team at TransUnion over the past few years. The team’s energy is contagious! The training that Sam and team provide is easily digestible, immediately actionable, and drives quick wins for my team… We are, and will continue to be, a proud partner of #samsales.

Geoff Hakel Executive Vice President, TransUnion

Sam’s content was fresh, engaging, and actionable for our sales team; the chat was alive with engagement with a lot of positive feedback on the new and fresh ideas. Our team especially enjoyed Sam’s personality and sense of humor. She kept our teams entertained and engaged throughout her entire presentation.

In case you don’t already follow Samantha McKenna and #samsales, you should. No one has taught me more about the power of LinkedIn, how to use it effectively and in general, how to be a better communicator.

I was just blown away at the level of service that Sam and her team provided out of the gates… Our open rates went from 27% to 43% within a six-week time period, and our reply rates went from 3.8% to 6.2%… These improvements were drastic. This helped us reach our monthly and quarterly meeting targets, drove pipeline, and will ultimately help us win deals.
