Testimonials
“Monte has worked with our sales and marketing team on Strategic Market Development. He has helped us identify and develop comprehensive plans for navigating through complex business issues associated with new market identification and approach. We consider Monte a valuable strategic business partner and an appendage of our team.”
- Tom Spees, National Sales Manager, Philips Dunlee
“We hired Monte for sales and presentation skills coaching for our team of eight sales engineers. Monte worked with us upfront to gauge the skill level of the team and worked up a multi-session seminar which was hands on and informative. The coaching and training was extremely helpful to our sales engineers of different experience levels. Monte is a true professional and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others.”
- Hanif Suchwani, Inside Sales Manager, United Conveyor Corporation
“Monte came recommended by ADM HR in the spring 2009. We have since worked with Monte on 3 projects. Monte’s approach has been to research our organization so he understands our goals and the personalities. He has brought innovative and creative thinking that has generated immediate results. His efforts have been instrumental in helping move the culture of the organization towards a High Performance Sales and Service Organization. His work has been key to that change.”
- Greg Mills, Unit President, ADM
“We’ve worked with Monte on two projects in the past two years. Both of them were well received by the members of our sales team and they consistently use many of the ideas that were incorporated in the presentations. He is a personable, likable person with excellent facilitation skills. However, the real value he brings is his ability to sit down with the top management team to explore exactly what the perceived needs are, and then come back with an excellent program to meet those needs. His listening and comprehension skills are top notch in that regard.”
- Mike Gschwind, VP, Sales, Bodine Electric Company
“We have had Monte Lewis work with our sales and management teams on several occasions and have found his ideas and strategies to be extremely effective. Our participants of his programs give him very high ratings. I highly recommend that you attend one of his programs – you will be extremely happy that you did. With all the Professional speakers and programs out there today, we have found Monte Lewis to be an engaging presenter as well as providing relevant material that is easily integrated into our specific marketplace.”
- Bill Baltzersen, Training Director, TEC Carrier
“Monte Lewis is an excellent provider of sales and sales management services. His firm, Lewis Associates, delivered a highly professional sales process development service incorporating complex sales and sales coaching skills. I have used his services to launch a successful lead management team at Molex Incorporated which has led to an increase in sales results and improved customer satisfaction.”
- Donald Gushurst, Sales Director, Molex
“The biggest benefit we received was the focus on teamwork and getting comfortable with change. Before there was pandemonium, chaos and clear divisions between the different groups of employees: travel, member services and insurance. Now we are blended and working together. Customer satisfaction levels are higher. People are willing to help each other, rather than point fingers and blame each other. It makes for a much happier environment, an environment of mutual respect which I know yields in more energy to serve members.”
- Bobbie Geraghty, Branch Manager, AAA Chicago Motor Club
“As a result of the workshop, many people here have changed their working habits regarding organizational skills. Our people are now using their time more effectively, and we are seeing changes in little things such as clean desks and dividing time into smaller chunks. Overall we have clearly increased the productivity levels of the people in our company.”
- Dave Pagor, National Sales Manager, CB Mills, Division of Chicago Boiler Co.
“If we are to develop a passion for the customer, then we must first develop a passion for ourselves! In order to provide uncompromising customer service, our people need to feel terrific about themselves and take complete responsibility for our success. You taught our group to take 100% responsibility not only for what we do, but HOW we do it.”
- Cheryl Alaniz, Customer Relations Manager, Quill Corporation
“Most importantly, we are practicing new and better behaviors on the job. You have added “buying cycle” and “advance” to our vocabulary and our habits. Thank you for a job well done.”
- Karl Berland, District Sales Manager, Siemens Medical Systems
