What Leaders Say

Our results have been phenomenal!

Everyone in our team immediately began putting Allan Boress' methods to work. The energy level in our firm has been incredible.

Allan Boress changes cultures, changes mindsets.

Each time we work with Allan, it has a lasting impression on our people. Allan's material is very atypical of what is generally offered in sales training programs. Our partners, managers and staff are more likely to think about the marketing and networking possibilities in everything they do, from social activities to the way they work with clients. Working with Allan can go a long way in terms of changing culture, changing mindsets — permanently!

AllanBoress takes you through the entire PAINLESS selling process...

...and provides sure-fire closes and much needed advice on face-to-face as well as telephone selling skills. It is perfect for any consultant who gets a butterfly twinge at the thought of making a sales call.

Just because you are a professional service provider doesn't mean you can't sell.

... And it's not that hard! It's even somewhat logical. Allan Boress' program has definitely had an impact on our ability to sell, and on self-confidence in sales situations. Allan provides valuable tools and a methodology to support ongoing, greater success. Our work with him gave us a common way to communicate, a common framework in which to approach and close a sale.

These People Used to Hate Selling, Too

I attribute $1 million in new business to what I learned from Allan Boress

I had thought of myself as being good at making sales. Generally, I would win a new client after 3 or 4 meetings. After I hired Allan Boress to work with me and my partner and management group, I found myself closing sales at the first meeting, over lunch. I would definitely attribute at least $1 million in new business to what we learned from Allan. His material is incredible. He has simplified a very complex process and made it a lot easier for the partners to meet their goals. His program is very, very effective.

A giant light bulb turned on for me...

Your book, I Hate Selling, is the answer to my prayers. I have read all sorts of other marketing books, taken classes, and listened to tapes with little success. There was still something missing for me. I continued to feel uncomfortable with being too pushy and was closing very few opportunities. A giant light bulb turned on for me when I read your idea of using the physician approach. Wow- that fits in so well with my goal of helping others. I've already begun to put it to work — today!

The odds of obtaining a new client from referrals is now almost 100%...

Just wanted to thank Allan for all his help. His courses and books have helped me tremendously. My network of referral sources has increased dramatically and the odds of obtaining a new client from the referrals is now about 100%.
