About Me

What services do you provide?
We promote a neutral, nonselling posture that requires the salesperson to have a deep and thorough understanding of the customer's business, problems and compelling reasons to change.
Our step-by-step change acceleration process has the salesperson asking thought-provoking questions that allow the customer the independence and freedom to make their own decisions and draw their own conclusions, independent of the salesperson's personal agenda. Because this discovery process empowers and honors the customer, it is a natural way to build trust, rapport and relationships

The change acceleration process allows sales organizations to maximize their leverage of time, resources and information to quickly identify where they have the highest probability of success and greatest return on investment.
What topics have you lectured or presented on?
Richard delivers a content rich, "PowerPointless," fast-paced and extremely interactive (gets out and engages the audience for questions, answers, examples and role-playing). The delivery style is authentic, self-deprecating, entertaining and real world with a problem solution orientation. Audience participants should be prepared to be respectfully challenged and to think outside the box
