“We were instructed to do some Pre-work and if we attempted any of that work, the Courses were logical.
Jeff knew more than enough to make the X2 logical and applicable to TDS. X2 is a ‘Life Lesson' in changing the way we sell!
‘Ping-Pong' was great!  Jeff was Always available.
The X2 is NOT [traditional] ‘Sales Training.'  It is a Common Language for any Business circumstance.  It is ‘Life training'.
[I am more confident now] Absolutely without a Doubt!
Jeff, personally I wanted to thank you for the Lessons you teach in changing my Sales Process.
It's gonna be a Great Year !”

Excellent Rating!
[I have no Doubt! Tod spent time and followed the X2 Pre-training process to a tee.  When I arrived for the 2-Day X2 Boot Camp he was ready.
How do I know? He was 9 for 9 on Day One.  That's 100% folks!  I thought he was calling on ALL his relatives!]
Over the 2 Days of X2 he set 15 new Top-Down appointments and raised his Conversation to Appointment ratio by 870% to an 87% Conversion ratio!
Fantastic job Tod!
He estimates his reward for the 2 Days will total about $27,000 in sales Commission.  That makes the $175 he took from me seem like small potatoes! Wouldn't you agree?]

Scott Raymer :: Sales Rep :: Cinergy Communications, Nashville , TN

“With the information given, the [X2] layout and Ease of Use is Unbelievable!
[ Jeff ] knew as much about my Numbers and Business as I did.  You could tell he had put in his ‘Due Diligence'.
[The X2] is a very easy Process due to having accurate directions with Audio help.
After every call Jeff was available every time.  He actually even spent almost 3 Hours the day before Boot Camp to make sure I was set up properly for the Boot Camp.
The [X2] is the most unbelievable way to reach decision Makers and close the appointment in less than 5 minutes.  It's the Best sales training a Salesperson could receive.
The X2 is going to ‘Double' my W-2 Figures!!
Jeff, thanks for helping me feel even more Confident and for helping me Double my income with Less traveling!”
Excellent Rating!
[Scott got a hold of me via cell phone on my way to Louisville the day before Boot Camp to download the X2 system.  I advised him he might want to not participate due to not having enough time to prepare.  He firmly communicated to me to ‘Just help him get the X2 System on his computer, and he would ‘Be the Best rep there'.
Well, one thing I'll say about Scott is he's true to his Word.
Scott had 10 Conversations in Day 1 and set 9 Targeted new appointments for a 90% Conversion ratio ! I was so shocked I asked him if he had a ‘Bunch of Relatives'!
In all, he set 13 new Top Down opportunities and raised his Competency ratio by 950%. Way to go Scott!]

I like the personalized attention. I did not feel ignored or stampeded as I do with many other Programs.

[The X2 is Unique] Very Good! This made the art of setting appointments more to a ‘Measurable Science.

Jeff had a great working flow and Overall presentation.

[The X2] was completely Processed and to the Point.

[The X2 training is Unique.] Of course! Never had anything like this! It really goes deep into changing the “Me Too” mentality I had previously.

I really feel good.  Thank you. I'm excited!

Excellent Rating!

Randel Rapier :: Sales Rep :: TDS Metrocom :: Rockford, IL

“I forgot Jeff wasn’t from our Company.

The ‘Ping-Pong’ focused on the Process, not so much as the ‘End Result’ of the call which is more helpful for me in the future.

Not only do I think the X2 built up my confidence in the appointment process but the stage is set for a more confident sales appointment to RUN as well!

There are tools available in the X2 training that apply to both 1st time sales reps as well as talented ‘Phone guys’. That is Rare in any sales training.”

[Jerry improved his C/A conversion ratio by 230% during Boot Camp!]

I will be transferring my ‘X2 Scenario Bible’ into a Word document that will continue to
grow.  Jeff was extremely attentive in listening to what I was saying and helping me
understand.

I felt that Jeff took the time to make the system not only ‘Custom’ to TDS but for me personally as well.

The live calls ‘Without a Net’ were Exhilarating! [Ping-Pong]

Jeff’s comments reminding me to “Bring what I brought to the Table” helped me quickly flatten the Learning curve.

I knew I was good on the phone, but I had no Clue this was possible.

[Bill went from a 30% Conversion ratio to an 83% Conversion ratio in 2 days! And set 8 new targeted appointments.]

This to me is one of the most difficult things to teach….’Opening Doors’. And this system [X2] works!”

I’m very more confident now. I learned
many new things to say.

Jeff, I really enjoyed your class. I wish we had more of
your time. I really enjoyed the X2 Contests!”

[What ever Jeannie is saying it must be Powerful. Because

Ed Davis :: Sales Rep :: TDS Metrocom :: Rochester, MN

“Most Training is more Role Playing.  This is ‘live' calls, which is unusual. When you hit a ‘Brick Wall', it's nice to talk with [Jeff] for Immediate coaching.

[The X2] is completely Unique ! It helps fill in the missing elements and Guides me to a more Successful tool for Appointment setting.”

Excellent Rating!

[Ed historically spent 20% of his Prospecting time on the telephone and 80% of it on ‘Foot'.

He averaged a Conversation to Appointment ratio of 86% over the X2 2-day Boot Camp, setting 14 new Top-Down appointments with C-Level executives.

Day 2 Ed was on fire, closing 100% of the Executives he spoke with.  And as Ed told me, they didn't even know what company Ed was with . (They'll find out when he hands them a Business card)

They set the appointment with Ed Davis , because he had a ‘Business Reason to Meet!!

Great job, Ed. You'll never look back!!!]

Art Becker :: Sales Rep :: TDS Metrocom :: Brainerd , MN

“Jeff obviously knows TDS and Products well.

Excellent Rating!

[Art improved his Competency ratio by 500%, reaching 50% in just 2 days.  Nice job Art!]

Rob Armfield :: Sales Rep :: TDS Metrocom :: Eagan , MN

“From Introduction to Close, the [X2 courses] were in Flow.

Often training has no correlation with what we do in our Industry.  This [X2] Training was much more ‘user Friendly' and I will insert it in my daily Routine.

We had many opportunities not only to ‘Ping-Pong' but to also observe others with Jeff, which proved to be very useful and Enlightening.

[The X2 is Unique] There was so much info and so many options that it was a bit like ‘a Kid in a Candy Store', but all option Statements can be inserted into the X2 system.”

Excellent Rating!

[Rob was not just a ‘Kid in the Candy Store'.  More like he went to Hershey PA and robbed the Chocolate factory!   He set 12 new C-Level appointments on his way to an 88% Conversion ratio.

Wonderful work Rob!]
