TESTIMONIALS

“Thank you for a rich experience. When I first heard (18 months ago) about a switch from Sandler I was skeptical. Mostly skeptical about some new guy who thinks he can do it better…. And with certain misgivings, I was quite happy with the Sandler approach. After seeing you at the annual meeting I became hopeful. Now I am grateful. You’ve taken the best, changed most of the rest and tossed the worst. I am familiar with what you’ve done. I went through many of the same challenges and as we say here in Maine – “You done good, Yess!” You should be very proud.”
Kurk LalemandOwnerNext Level Business Coaching
“I have worked in sales, both as a sales rep and as a business owner, and now I also work with clients in sales. I find sales fascinating, and have studied and worked with selling systems and strategies for a long time. I find Client Builder Selling to be the best sales process I have found. Why is it the best? Because it is not forced, it is not unnatural, and it really puts a process to the way small business owners and their salespeople can move forward to create and make a sale. It helps me quickly determine whether a sale is even possible, and if not, to move on to a better prospect, rather than wasting a lot of unneeded time on a prospect that really isn’t a prospect at all. I thank Larry Lewis for creating this process, and for the opportunity to use this system. It really works!”
Cindy PivaPresidentThrive Business Strategies, Inc.
“I feel that choosing you to be my sales trainer was one of the best business decisions I ever made. In the last year, I have doubled my income and my client base. Before I met you, I did not believe I would achieve this goal for about seven years.”
David WilkeC.P.A.Wilke & Associates
“Add me to the Client Builder fan club. I have had more than a passing experience with Sandler, though I’m not a President’s Club member. I’ve worked with Sandler franchisees and have been to several trainings over the years going back to the 90′s. So I was pretty familiar with the Sandler methods and materials before I came to the PBCA. I’m still a fan of Sandler but I’m a bigger fan of Client Builder. Personally I just find Client Builder more approachable than Sandler. To me it’s a little more compatible with selling coaching (more cooperative, less combative), while still retaining the no-nonsense “don’t waste my time or the prospect’s time with a dead-end deal.”
Matt BurkinshawOwnerBusiness Growth Advisors Inc. and GY Enterprises LLC
“Larry’s training of our sales force has significantly increased individual performance and shortened the learning time for new personnel. And it’s FUN!!”
Roger M. WeissRetired PresidentH.B. Maynard & Co.
“Growing small businesses into larger ones is tough stuff. It isn’t for the faint hearted. Larry Lewis understands that implicitly and has put together a comprehensive sales and marketing “toolbox” for the SMB segment. He has married his own extensive professional selling background with the power of a nationally recognized small business marketing solution, creating a powerful one-stop model for the dedicated entrepreneur. It helps you face the tough stuff and thrive. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Larry.”
Jeff CanterPresidentStep 1 Management Services, LLC
“Are you a small business owner? If you are, congratulations – you are in sales! Now ask yourself a crucial question. In the windy landscape of business, do you have a process that allows you to experience the complete cycle of sales from prospecting to closing deals without fear? If the answer is no, then do yourself a favor – take the Client Builder Selling sales training program from Larry Lewis at Client Builder Sales & Marketing. Since taking this sales training program, I now close over 95% of my deals with no fear! Take this program, work it and there will be no more soul searching. Make this investment and you will be the envy of both your competitors and your peers – A successful business owner.”
Steve TraversOwner/operatorPeace of Mind Systems Ltd.
“Larry taught an old dog, new tricks. I have been in sales since 1976. Through the year’s one has a tendency to develop some habits that are good, and others not so much. In my case the longer my sales career went, the more my mental baggage got in the way. I started working with Larry in the fall of 2012. His Client Builder Selling system transformed me into the best salesman I have been throughout my career. But working with Larry is so much more than ‘’book learning’’. Larry gets it, not only in the sales arena but more importantly at a very human level. I had a breakthrough with Larry that allowed me for the first time in my life to realize, recognize and then correct attributes of my personality and mental image of myself that had been preventing me from getting out of my own way. Larry has taught me the mechanics and methodologies of selling better than any before him. That was important, but helping me to free myself from the psychological ‘’handcuffs’’ I never realized I had was the ultimate key. You would do well to work with Larry Lewis.”
Rick DeMossGeneral ManagerSmart Systems Technology
“Thanks for your valuable training. Your help has given me the confidence (and the tools) to get paid what I am worth. I know I’ve told you this before – I’m a professional investor and ROI is what my business is all about. Based on this one client alone, I can easily conclude that your sales training has provided me an outstanding return on my investment.”
Ted KerrManaging PartnerTouchstone Capital
“With Larry’s help I have set and surpassed the financial and personal goals I set for myself this past year; as evidenced by the new house which I purchased a year ahead of schedule. … Client Builder Selling’s approach to sales is the best system for a sales professional.”
Tony MuhlenkampExecutive Vice PresidentMuhlenkamp & Company
