I have repeated to the entire team how happy I am with the work getting done. This has been the most deliberate and careful approach to sales we’ve undertaken at ALTA. We couldn’t be happier!
My team has lapped up the training. They love it. They feel more confident and understand what it means to be in their roles. Thank you!

When the TSC team asked 'how many hundreds of thousands of dollars we had lost as a result of not hiring the right people?' We cringed and knew it was time to make a change! Working with The Sales Collective not only helped us find the right person for our sales role, but they helped us onboard and train that person to be successful. In the first 6 weeks with our new hire, we more than doubled our investment!!
Throughout the process we were supported and provided an experience that catered to our company and our core values. It was a perfect fit, and we will be coming back next time we need to make a sales hire for our company!

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!

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.

After several attempts to replace my sales manager, I was connected with The Sales Collective. Their guidance on recruiting and talent selection, as well as their comprehensive sales attributed based questionnaire, led me to an excellent replacement. The candidate was placed after a 4-week search and hit the ground running. His skills were aligned with those of my company, and it has made for a great cultural fit. The entire staff at The Sales Collective has been engaging and helpful. I never felt alone in the process once we partnered together. Special thanks to Tabitha for her patience.
