We documented all of the sales prospecting activity for our sales team immediately following the program and were delighted to see our appointment closing ratios increase to 87% in only 2 months! Many of the top level prospects who agreed to meet with us had declined our earlier attempts — in some cases for years. ”

“I can safely say that the training you gave us had a better return than any other investment that we made in our business this year. There are maybe three events that have happened in my business life that changed my approach in how I manage; you are certainly one of the three.

—Bill Lauf Jr., Corporate Training Manager, Skyline Exhibits
“Jill was the first sales industry luminary that Jigsaw chose to be in our “Sales Leader” program. We did this both because we agreed with her sales philosophy and tactics and because she is more “on the ball” than any of the other 80 sales trainers, consultants, writers or experts that are now part of the same program. Jill has spoken at webinars for the Jigsaw audience (375,000 salespeople) and had incredible feedback. She ‘gets it’.”
—Garth Moulton, CoFounder, Jigsaw Data Corporation

—Steve Wittenborn, Regional Marketing Executive, IBM

Since launching our newly revised strategy, we’ve landed 14 new accounts in just the past few months. Jill understands what it takes to succeed in today’s challenging corporate environment.”
—Terry Denton, Co-owner, Carlson Wagonlit Travel
“Jill’s book came to life with her real life experience and success. She had instant credibility with our field staff. Her messages of how to access and service decision-makers inside companies resonated with everyone in the room. The result is improved efficiency in assisting Minnesota’s business customers with their hiring, recruitment and training decisions.”
