The account officers that participated in your seminar, including myself, are already producing more appointments as a result of employing your techniques.

Paul B. Lindsay
Vice President

As far as use in the field, we have secured 10 to 15 clients since your seminar, mostly as a result of techniques used while employing your system. The system does work.

James A. Alexander
President and CEO

I wanted to write you personally and let you know of the impact you had on our people attending your recent Telephone Appointment Training. To put it frankly, you totally blew everyone away! Even our most seasoned investment officers came away saying that it was the very best and most practical training that they have ever had.

Additionally, I was particularly impressed by the extra time you spent in preparation for our training. Understanding our needs and specifically catering the presentation for our staff made a significant difference in the effectiveness of the training.

Rick Burrows
Director Investment Sales

Kudos to you for the excellent workshops you delivered for our commercial calling officers. I can tell you from experience this is a group that is not easily impressed. Your unique presentation style certainly kept their attention. We have seen a substantial increase in activity since the workshop, not only in terms of appointments but new loan requests as well.

Raymond Parker
Executive Vice President

You’ve probably received hordes of nice compliments on your training by now but I thought you would be interested in seeing my results. Last week we had 12 appointments and 9 sales: $115,000 in annuities and $40,000 in mutual funds. John, as my own staff members can attest to, your training has really motivated me to lead by example and continually coach my staff. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.

Relationship Calling is a critical part of our business success. John’s proven methods of call preparation and execution have helped our bankers build deeper and more valuable relationships with our clients.

Michael Vantrease
Learning and Development Manager, Bank of West

As a Business Banking Manager, I have worked with John Gehegan and have used his appointment setting techniques for almost 20 years. The tools he provides are the best I have ever used. Any banker responsible for business development should consider incorporating John’s approach into their sales process. It is the best training I have ever paid for.

Robert Phillipps
Business Banking Executive, Glendale,CA

As CEO of TeleCheck I used John Gehegan to train over 800 of our sales and customer service professionals in setting appointments. What John accomplished in his training, was to get our people to say the words over the phone that made more confident and effective. This training produced immediate results and was by far one of the best investments we made.

Steve Shaper
CEO, Middlemarch Capital Corp.

Many thanks for delivering such an outstanding telephone skills training program to over 1,200 financial service representatives, financial services managers and branch managers. The feedback I have had from all involved has been absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend this program to any financial institution seeking to give their employees the skills they need to be more confident and effective using the telephone to pursue new business and to expand relationships with their existing client base.
