I am writing to say how grateful I am for the training you provided my team with

over the last week. Having the opportunity to learn from a seasoned and

accomplished sales professional will prove to be invaluable over the upcoming

weeks and years. I never really envisioned that we would make as much progress

as we did in such a short period of time.

If someone asked me to name at least five things that you brought to my team in

your sales training toolbox, they would probably be:

What a true sales professional looks like

· What unwanted or bad business looks like, when to walk away and when to run

· How to incorporate non-business dialogue into a conversation so that we become

more genuine and relatable to customers

· How to deal with and overcome customer objections

· How to close a deal

My hope now is that you will accept the transition challenge from being our short-

term trainer to long-term mentor. After spending a few days with you, it is obvious

that we have much more that we can learn from you.

With gratitude,

Marlin Horner

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Indianapolis Home Show. I learned a lot in a

short amount of time, including sales fundamentals and some of the more nuanced

sales techniques of professional selling. I truly appreciate you sharing your wealth

of sales experience.

Sincerely,

Danny Harris

Pete was a great asset to lean on and ask questions to during the opening weekend

of the Indianapolis Home Show. He's very easy to talk to and shows a genuine

interest in helping in any way possible.

Pete,

I cannot thank you enough for everything you've done to help this company start

on the right track. You stayed patient with us, engaged with all who wanted to

learn, and gave every one of us the confidence we needed to be successful. Not

only have you given us all the keys to succeed but you did it in such a modest way.

You are an expert in what you do, though you never came across as arrogant. My

biggest take away from our few days together is that sales is more than just selling

someone a product or service. It's about meeting new people, making relationships

with them, and earning their trust. I admire your ability to have a conversation

with absolutely anyone and truly make them feel important. Thank you again for

sharing your time and expertise with us. The guidance and support you offered us

over the short time period you were here will without a doubt hold a lasting

impact on our company.

Katie Gee
