Any company with a sales force needs to have John come to speak.
John spoke to my Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills North the #1 office in the country. After almost 30 years successfully selling residential real estate, I thought I had it figured out. After listening to John speak I was astounded by his new, smart, innovative, and clever ways to improve sale and closing strategies + how to win over a clients trust and make it more of a collaborative experience. This man is amazing. Any office with a sales force needs to have him come speak.
