Sam knows a thing or two about business travel. She also knows a thing or two about leisure, so why not combine them?!
Yahoo!Life explores the idea in this story.
It was one of the most engaging and useful training sessions my team has attended in years.Sam is a sales pro who brings amazing energy, enthusiasm and experience to training and development. We utilized her consulting service for a one hour session where 70+ sellers and sales managers attended her training on the “Top Ten Ways to Win in Sales.” Not only was the session on point, it was one of the most engaging and useful training sessions my team has attended in years, the feedback was exceptionally positive. Oftentimes, training and/or consultants miss the mark but Sam truly gets it, she is relatable, speaks from experience and applies her proven techniques in an easy to digest format. If we had the budget, we would hire Sam to lead all our sales training.

Someone Who’s Done It, Gets It, and Knows How To Do It“Sam is who I go to when I am looking for advice and feedback on how to bring in the BIG deals…She is tactical…she gets in there with you. Not only can she help you with the high-level strategy, but she can also give you that in the trenches feedback – the type of stuff that only someone who’s done it, gets it, and knows how to do it, could give.”

We were fortunate because we were introduced to Sam“Over a year ago when the pandemic caused us to change the way we sell, our management team asked us how we needed to alter our sales approach to be effective digital sellers. We were fortunate because we were introduced to Sam who quickly began coaching our team on effective digital selling strategies. We started with the basics of how to update our LinkedIn profiles, effective LinkedIn communications and then moved to Show Me You Know Me (SMYKM) and more advanced “hacks”. One of the best things about Sam’s training is our ongoing engagements that will focus on other sales techniques and more importantly emerging best practices for digital and in-person selling.”

Her energy was contagious and she is a breath of fresh airI hired Sam to bring some fresh ideas and new strategies to our national sales meeting. Her energy was contagious and she is a breath of fresh air. She is relatable, but more importantly results driven. The team was blown away but how much they took away from sixty minutes with her, and even more impressed with how she engaged with them afterwards on LinkedIn to keep helping. It was motivating and showed tangible ways to differentiate. We implemented her “secret sauce” and saw results that day! Multiple members on our team have reached out to have more time with Sam!

#samsales consulting has been the missing puzzle piece in our business-development and sales efforts#samsales consulting has been the missing puzzle piece in our business-development and sales efforts. We have all the expertise in the world relating to what we do, but getting projects – especially big ones – to sign was a hit-and-miss affair. Sam not only consults for us on our entire sales strategy, but her team of BDRs has examined and reshaped our outreach-and-messaging approach to both show our expertise and to have the prospects discover why they need it, want it, can’t live without it. The result – after only a few months – has been record-breaking, multi-year deals and a trajectory to have the best year in company history!

Sam and her team helped us find a sales language and rhythm that is comfortableWhile there are a million (or more) sales consultants with a plethora of approaches, Sam and the #samsales team were the first to help us position our firm in a way that not only resonated with the market but also has made a measurable impact on the return that we were getting using their guidance. Society 54 has been able to implement the suggested approaches in ways that feel natural to who we are as people and who we are as a firm. While Sam and her team helped us find a sales language and rhythm that is comfortable, they pushed us to reach beyond our comfort level to achieve even better results than we initially thought possible.
