It’s been a great experience working with The Sales Collective - I was just singing their praises at my Vistage meeting yesterday.
The process is illuminating, and I firmly believe we're on a great path to understanding, in great detail, precisely what makes our sales org tick. Super valuable, and we look forward to the insights the ongoing process will provide us.

The Sales Collective's knowledge and professional experience has been instrumental in shaping our firm beyond our current capacity. Their ability to challenge us at the fundamental level has not only increased our professional career, it increased our ability to pursue and maintain a better quality of life. Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees and we all need fresh perspective to take us to the next level. The Sales Collective has been an invaluable resource and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone at any level.

Things are going awesome! Super enjoy working with The Sales Collective. Most impactful has been updating our sales hiring process to match their best practices.

Sam BloedowThriveon

Our track record of hiring salespeople wasn’t great, and 50% of the time, we were hiring bad ones. Since we started using The Sales DNA Test, we are at 100%, except for the one I didn’t trust the test with, and he didn’t work out!
The Sales Collective helped us with interviewing strategy and job posting, but the Sales DNA Test was the X-Factor. It makes the unknown known! Our HR team loves Sales DNA because they get so many fewer resumes that they no longer have to waste time on, and they no longer have to guess who’s “interviewing” honestly.
We’re getting solid salespeople every time, bringing in revenue and profit much quicker!

Trey FlyJoe Fly, Co.

The Sales Collective is a team of true sales professionals with extensive experience and a history of success that is obvious through their consulting. They helped our sales team have more intentionality in their daily approach to sales that led us to produce greater results.
