“Question Based Selling has completely changed our sales organization’s perspective on how to differentiate the value of IBM products and services. Congratulations on your success. It’s great stuff!”

Jim Hardee, Vice President of Sales
IBM

 

“Tom, I just finished reading your book and I am very ‘bullish’ on Question Based Selling. You have taken many of the traditional high-level selling concepts and you have succeeded in distilling them down into usable, real world applications. QBS is definitely a winner!”

Terry W. Nall, Vice President
Merrill Lynch, Group Services

 

“The QBS methodology helped us secure our position as the leading provider of e-procurement services to the Life Sciences industry. Since we put the entire sales force through your Two-Day QBS Methodology Program, our salespeople are penetrating more new accounts, increasing the prospect's sense of urgency to make a decision, and more effectively controlling the sales process. Everybody wins! Thank you.”

Jim Wambach, Vice President of Worldwide Sales
Chemdex Corporation

 

"On the evaluations that our salespeople filled out after the QBS training, I don't think there was a score on any of them less than an 8, with the majority being all 10's. Considering our reputation as a very difficult audience, those scores, in perspective, are really off the charts."

Mike Sheehy, Area Vice President
EMC Corporation

 

“Question Based Selling was a great success! Having spent money on training with limited results, it was nice to hear people saying that QBS was the best sales training they ever had. By the middle of the first day, everyone had bought in. By the end of the second day, people were truly excited and anxious to get back out into the field. I would recommend this program to anyone!”

Mike Bader, Vice President of Sales
Questra Corporation
