Art Sobczak, specializes in one area only: working with business-to-business salespeople–both inside and outside–designing and delivering content-rich programs that participants begin showing results from the very next time they get on the phone. Audiences love his “down-to-earth,” entertaining style, and low-pressure, easy-to-use, customer oriented ideas and techniques.
He works with thousands of sales reps each year helping them get more businesses by phone. Art provides real world, how-to ideas and techniques that help salespeople use the phone more effectively to prospect, sell, and service, without morale-killing “rejection.”
Using the phone in sales is only difficult for people who use outdated, salesy, manipulative tactics, or for those who aren’t quite sure what to do, or aren’t confident in their abilities. Art’s audiences always comment how he simplifies the telesales process, making it easily adaptable for anyone with the right attitude.
Art’s how-to ideas and tips appear regularly in the print and electronic media. He had written a regular column for “Teleprofessional” magazine for years, also writes one for “Selling!” newsletter, and is frequently quoted in “Selling Power,” “Bottom Line Business,” “Sales and Marketing Management,” and numerous trade publications. In fact, online searches for his name typically pull up over 10,000 listings, many from others who have quoted him and his articles.
He holds the popular Telesales Rep College two-day public training seminars nationwide, and also customizes the program for on-site, in-house delivery. Art also delivers how-to programs on effective telesales ranging from one-hour to several days.
He has produced and delivered over 1000 training sessions for companies and associations in virtually all business-to-business industries.
His speaking and training reputation has been built as someone who knows what works and what doesn’t in telesales because he’s done it (corporate telesales and management positions with AT&T and American Express).
He also conducts extensive research to customize his programs, listening to tapes of actual sales calls of client reps in order to learn the language of the industry, company, and strengths and weaknesses of sales reps and strategies.
“Art, the sales team thanks you for the wonderful course you conducted for us. The training perfectly supported the objectives we outlined in our preparation and was in direct support of our own sales and training philosophy. We were very impressed with your responsiveness, flexibility and reliability during the entire process. We were especially impressed with how detailed your research into our methods, culture, and personality was. You took the time to listen to over four hours worth of our calls, interview the management team, and conduct numerous interviews of our representatives so you were confident you had a good understanding of our situation. You were able to take this information, marry it to our objectives and design and deliver a very customized and high-quality class for us exceeding our expectations. The impact your training rendered was marked. We have had very strong months when compared year-over-year with the past two years and have seen a morale and skill improvement across the board.”
“Art, thank you for your spectacular presentations, ‘The Top Ten Mistakes Made By Sales Reps When Using the Phone, and, What You Can Do to Avoid These Errors, and, “30 Telephone Sales Tips You Can Use Right Now,” at our recent Summer Sales Camp in Chicago! Our attendees were inspired, educated, and entertained. Thank you again for your time and effort that you spent preparing for our event.”
“Art, here we are nearly 6 months after your initial training session with my team. I wanted you to know how pleased we are with the progress. Currently we are on track to have the biggest sales year in our company’s history. What’s worth mentioning is the fact that these are individuals that have been in the business for over 15 years and have been the hardest to motivate and even more so re-train with new ideas. In our 19 years of business, we have done it all from motivational seminars to guest speakers to other sales training classes. Unquestionably, your programs are the most well-received by my staff and have had the greatest impact to our sales. I give my highest recommendation to any company that uses the phone as part of their business.”
Art will do extensive research on your business and sales process, including listening to tapes of your calls and interviewing your sales reps to build the program that delivers the results you want.
