Customer Applause
The Sales Activator®
Results speak louder than words
Elza Muller - Shell South Africa (Pty) Limited
“I just wanted to let you know that I think your Sales Activator® is brilliant. In my opinion this product could change the face of learning in the future. I have almost come to a conclusion that we waste our money and time training, no matter how good the program/consultant, and for the following reasons:
- No one learns who has not chosen to
- Time is such an issue in business today
- Learning is becoming far more job technically specific
- Difficulty in shifting line managers from the old style management to also include the leadership coaching role
- Little difference in behaviour viewed post programs
- Cost of training in a continent like Africa re. geographic spread-travel and accommodation is an added 40% onto training investment … see, I have learnt
- Consultants however, are not able to deal with business issues in training, this often hampers the effectiveness of the individual/group learning
Your product addresses most of these:
- People learn without realising and get the added benefit of learning from additional input from delegates who have years of experience
- It can be done as and when there is a team meeting
- No extra resource is required
- The coaching role can be shared across teams, within teams spreading the skill of coaching
- The business manager is present dealing with the system and context issues around training
- The product holds the opportunity of being converted into any technical business area eg. finance, logistics etc. Same structure and game, different content
- AND IT IS FUN!
Congratulations! A great product from an obviously enormously creative mind … not to mention the triangular dice.”

"The Sales Activator® is the absolute BEST sales training product I have EVER seen!

Jay Schulman - Director of Training & Development, Builder’s 1st Choice, UK
"I wanted to thank you for introducing The Sales Activator® to Builder’s 1st Choice. As a Director of Training & Development, I have worked with many different training programs. With over 20 years of management, and training experience, I have never seen anything like this before. The buy-in from our entire organization has been tremendous. Whenever we utilize The Sales Activator®, my email box gets inundated with the most amazing feedback. The sales teams are now calling each other.
Although we have only owned The Sales Activator® since March, we believe that it has paid for itself. We have been reshaping our training department and this sales simulator has been the starting point in making our new program fun! The Sales Activator® has also blended in nicely with the other programs that we have implemented."

It is a brilliant tool and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to encourage and motivate their sales team."
Phil Hooper - Head of Sales, Sodexho
"We have recently invested in a coaching skills programme for sales managers and The Sales Activator® fitted perfectly as a reinforcement tool that could be used by Sodexho managers.

“In today’s ever-changing regulatory environment, we are challenged with finding ways of making compliance training engaging and relevant. Your system does that in a way that is beyond anything else in the marketplace.”

Nick Savastano MBA - Development Manager, Zurich Life
“The Sales Activator® is a unique learning dynamic that adds tremendous support to the sales coach or manager in delivering consistent team performance. Working within sales development and having trained hundreds of salespeople, it can be difficult finding a learning dynamic that really adds value. Look no further, The Sales Activator® will enable you to have a great platform to build consistent learning messages for your team, whether it is through formal or informal interventions. Great tool, great value.”
Andy Miller - International Sales Trainer
“What makes or breaks the success for sales training is the ongoing reinforcement by sales management. When you hire a sales trainer, they introduce concepts and best practices, but for the training to really stick, weekly reinforcement must happen! Historically the challenge for sales management is they had no tools for reinforcement so they were forced to keep me on board for extended periods of time. When sales management use The Sales Activator®, they provide the perfect reinforcement. You only use me to fill in the gaps when necessary. That means more sales in shorter time!”
Jay Abraham says, “Andy Miller is one of the top consultative sales trainers I have met.”
Ray Byrne - CEO, AC&T Pty Ltd
"The Sales Activator® is a highly effective way to maintain high selling standards in our company and it's absolutely perfect for new sales managers who lack experience in leadership. I love the fact that the interactivity involved teaches my people to find the answers to important questions within themselves. I highly recommend it to any company with a salesforce!"
Richard Bednall - Director, Honey PLC
“Having spent years supporting the learning and development community we have seen lots of innovations in the corporate training world. The Sales Activator® is a unique and powerful way of educating your sales team. It really helps solve the challenge sales managers often face struggling to coach their team on improving sales results. Having seen the learning mechanics being used in team meetings they create fun and effective learning and focus the group on improving their results.”
Nathan Sage - Managing Director, St John's Intellectual Asset Management
