“With very little knowledge about hiring a high-level salesperson I turned to Walter for help as he came highly recommended. His skill set and experience was instrumental in our hiring process and allowed us to vet and ultimately higher very qualified candidates.”
Caleb S. / CEO & Co-Founder of CPG Marketing Company
“Walter’s coaching has helped resurface my confidence; he also has guided me down the path of greater sales success beating sales objectives each month. “
Yesmain R. - Sales Executive / Promotional Products Company
“Using your hiring process, we hired two salespeople who have impacted the entire sales organization with their performance. We took your recommendation to speak with another candidate we would have ruled out, and that hire helped revive a struggling division!”
Gregg R. - Chief Operating Officer at a Furniture Distribution Company
“We hired 9 salespeople in the last 3 months using your hiring process. 8 of them are heads and shoulders above anyone we’ve hired in the past 2 years. The 9th you told us not to hire, and he sucks at everything you said he would suck at.”
