Yvette Alexander Slate came out early in the course and said "don't cold call", that's not the most effective use of your time. That resonated, and the rest of the course followed. Sales through relationship building; exactly the way it should be taught. Perfect selling instruction for non-sales people. Gordon, CPA Run4profit
Carried The Bag gave me insight and direction that I will implement in relationship building and presentations now! The questions/insight to build rapport to "earn business" were eye opening. You packaged this in a way that I can use now to improve my approach with confidence for results and build relationships that will weather the economic storm now. Cathy, Make A Wish Ohio
Yvette Alexander Slate provided a new outlook on how sales skills can be used in a development role for a Non-profit. It was a nice refresher course for us. Katie, Make A Wish Ohio
The knowledge of the sales process and relationship building shared by Carried the Bag is the best that I have seen. From the first to the last session with them, it was obvious that they have the experience to share and the knowledge, but their greatest abillity is how they bring specific processes to light, with a focus on the relationships."
Tim, Executive Director with Make A Wish Ohio
"After owning my business for nearly seven years, and working in my industry for more than twenty years, I see a general apathy towards service and ethics. Yvette Alexander Slate not only handled every detail of our experience, from its initiation, with perfect decorum but almost anticipates our wants and needs before we did. Not only would I recommend her services, but say you're foolish not to utilize her expertise. We saw an immediate response to her training in our staff. We also learned valuable information about many employees through the keen observations of Yvette in a thorough final report." Tim Maurer, President of Mukha Skincare Spa
“Yvette Alexander Slate is an experienced professional who makes a phenomenal sales coach because she has truly perfected the art of relationship selling. She brings many years of selling success to each session and then customizes her approach for each business. She helped our business double our closing ratio generating a great ROI for her services. I'd recommend Yvette for any organization that could benefit from a more structured, comprehensive sales process.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert.
Justin, Marketing Director at PRStore
"I came to know Yvette at a board meeting of the Ohio University Sales Centre. Yvette Alexander Slate is a polished professional who really has it all together. I appreciate that she places a high value on success but not at the expense of ethics. Her keynote presentation and testing of our sales team at our annual meeting was one of the most highly rated guest speakers we've ever had."
C. Lee Smith, President
Sales Development Services, Inc.
"I recommend Yvette Alexander Slate without hesitation. She developed and trained a winning sales team in a very short time period, that went on to exceed company goals and expectations. She is capable of successfully accomplishing everything she sets out to do. In addition to her expertise Yvette brings passion and professionalism to the table.” Diana, VP Huntington National Bank
"I feel the sessions were beneficial. I am constantly using the information and continue to follow up with my centers of influence. I have noticed that the standards I set are not always carried out by my COI’s. This helps me to get an understanding of their personal infrastructure and whether or not they are focused on helping their clients." Mike, VP Focus Business Solutions
"I have noticed an increase in my confidence and I can see a change for the better in my relationship building skills. The sale comes more naturally to me now and I really have you to thank!" Amy, Horizon Datacom Solutions, Inc.
