We got a great mention in the Dancing Elephants Achievement Group Newsletter this morning:

Every year starts anew and how great is that? We get to start off with a clean slate, learn from our mistakes and take new chances.

This year was no different. We have teamed up with Brandon Hensinger with Ascent Adventure Consultants, LLC and developed a series of training sessions called, “Ultimate Sales Training”. While we actually teamed up with Brandon last year, we had a successful launch last week with “Cold Calling for People That Hate to Cold Call”. It was fantastic! I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in this mixture of classroom and experiential training. The sales training from Tim was exemplary (as always) and Brandon had us smiling and laughing at ourselves as we learned where our pre-conceived notions took us.”
