Testimonials

“Early December Laura comes to Buffalo.. She likes to get in the night before so we enjoyed some great food and conversation.. and really in a very relaxed environment set the tone for what was to be Monday, the session.. the day we figured it all out..

Monday came, we literally locked ourselves in a room, broke only for lunch and Laura began to pull out our story, our goals, our vision... WOW!

She pulled out what was there, reinforced what we knew, gave us help on where to go, what to track, what to strive for... Our whole life put into once simple sheet of paper. Our vision, our goals, our beliefs, our trackable items...

We focused, we gained confidence.. We became a laser beam that will stop at nothing short of our goal. We did this with Laura, relaxed, laughing.. She gave us not only the ability to believe but the tools to achieve our goals.

I came out of that day exhausted but with extreme confidence in myself, my company and my future. As a guy that sat in countless seminars and got nowhere I never would have thought this was possible.. One day, One sheet of paper, One supercharged woman that showed us the way, gave us the know how..

We are already a million dollar company we did it with no plan.. Imagine where we can go when focused on the goals and a clear path to achieve them.   My decisions are based off that plan we came up with that day.. My decisions are now easy, clear and if it matches our vision and goals we do it.. If not we pass..  

We have doubled sales each month over last year and are continuing the trend!”

-  Garret Cleversley Owner, MacSolutions Plus

“I'm not sure what u guys did but our marketing coupled with everything I learned from you guys has been insane.  I have been averaging about 3 new clients per day for almost a 2 month streak now.  I had a law firm and a large flooring company basically tell me that they didn't really care for a bid presentation.  They just wanted to hurry and sign the paperwork and have me run their credit card so they could get back to there day.”

“Thanks for the hiring guide. It's like a whole book! We are feeling focused and profitable. Just going to sit down for a while this weekend and work the numbers backward so that we know what our metrics need to be to achieve our goals.  It was a really crazy week. But something miraculous happened. Even though we got very busy and had personal events (including a new nephew) going on, nobody fell into a slump. They are also noticing sales opps all around them and I see a glimmer in their eyes again as they imagine the future--Something I have not seen in a while!  Thanks so much! You are an awesome partner!”

"Since working with Dancing Elephants, I have discovered that starting my own business was definitely the right career move for me and I love it! Thanks!"

-  Kyra Oliver  President, Oliver Creative

"In the first few months of joining my business partner, we further defined our services, adjusted our rates and fired those clients who were a bad fit for us.  Within a six month period we gained nine new clients and increased business 265%.  And we're having fun!  The Elephant University classes have been essential in making Right Angle a success."

-  Jennifer Yeager  Principal, Right Angle Consulting, LLC

"I have increased my business 192%!  But, more importantly, 100% of my business this year was from my Bull's Eye Market.  Last year 20% of my business was work I hated to do but had to take just for the income.  I've been able to eliminate this work altogether and focus on what I love to do."

-  Pam Chanfrau  Owner, ACP Resources, Inc.

"I have tripled my business and have had to hire several folks to handle it all!"

-  Elizabeth Kennett  Vice President, Kennett Little Design.com

"I sold 80 policies last year and 150 this year, a 188% increase!"

-  Todd Taylor  Sales & Service Consultant, Virginia Farm Bureau

"Working with Dancing Elephants allowed me to move out of 'Vendorville'. I am able to get to the truth of what my clients need, and they see me as an advisor, not a vendor. In addition , they have shown me that focusing on a Bull's-Eye Market doesn't pigeonhole me; it has actually opened up a whole new market for me, not to mention the other advisor relationships. Finally, being in a classroom with other business owners and entrepreneurs gives me the benefit of differing points of view, experiences and support that I would not have enyoyed in any other way."

-  Jay Cowan  RiverCross Partners, LLC

"The Six Secrets of Sales Magnets is a real pragmatic approach and advice to move yourself from "average" to "top of the game". A smooth read all the way through!  I highly recommend it for both sales and marketing folks that either are starting out in their career, in a rut, or worse, losing their edge. At the heart, this is about how to turn "pushing" yourself to customers, into "attracting" customers to you!  As a Chinese proverb reminds us: The person that says it can not be done, should not interrupt the person doing it! This book tells you how to do it."

-  Dave Allison  Director, Worldwide Software Sales & Marketing Strategy, IBM

"The Elephant University classes have been critical in helping us identify our Bull's-Eye Market, in providing the customer's perspective and in developing a more effective sales process. The result: Our truck mount program implemented in April has taken off beyond our expectations. We are even adding another truck to the program 6 months ahead of schedule! And we will exceed our annual monetary goal by at least $20,000!"

-  Kenny Epps  ChemDry of Richmond

"Dancing Elephants Achievement Groups' use of continuous classes has made a tangible difference between just having a great idea...and moving that idea onto the calendar...and to the bottom line.

Dancing Elephants has helped me target my "best fit" customers. Now time and money are allocated more effectively.  Competitive advantages are being leveraged like never before."

"Sales Magnetism has proven methods and strategies that are unmatched in the world of sales!  This course has changed the way I do business.  In less than 8 weeks, I've seen a dramatic improvement in my ability to get to the decision maker, close sales in less than 3 weeks, and remain a provider of choice in these organizations.  This course should be a MUST for every individual who's serious about selling, wants to join the ranks of those "taking care of great customers", and have the time to enjoy life!!!"

"In the 37 years that I have been in sales I have listened to many tapes, etc. from the "experts" in the industry. Your CD was the best I have heard. I guess one of the reasons is that we both agree on many of the points brought out in your tape.  The CD is a gem it should be required listening of any salesperson."

-  Roger Linker  Sales Associate, Heartland Payment Systems
