THE DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE

We are after fast and long term increases in your sales. We like 300% and beyond numbers in one year or less and our best to date is about 11,000% return on investment in four months. It is a new benchmark that we now want to beat!

We choose to work with companies and organizations we know we can dramatically impact. If we turn you down, it is for the right reasons; we can find you the right coach!

Each person on our team has over 150 hours of annual best practices and International best of field training. From Fortune Small Business events to working with the top marketing, growth, sales, hiring, leadership, and customer service experts in North America, Sales by 5 spends time, effort and money making sure our customers are subjected to the best of best practices from companies like GE, Dell, Walgreens, Starbucks, Toyota and more. But most importantly, we work to make sure we are future focused on your customers which is TEN TIMES more predictive of success!

Our team is completely focused on sales. Sales are highly affected by internal and external conditions in your organization. If you have a de-motivated staff, this can deplete the best marketing or advertising campaign. If you have low moral or weak/normal communication in your company, this too can dramatically decrease sales.

We start on the inside, measure the pulse and purpose and work our way out. Our extensive experience has shown that the best brand, sales, ad, or marketing campaigns can only do so much. If you do not have the heart of your people and the owners living it every day, you will sell less and be less successful than your potential.
