Success Assured Inc. Celebrates Six Years In Sales Advisory Services Business
Christopher D. Bennett, president of Success Assured Inc. and partner advisor in Winfree Business Growth Advisors' Chicago West sales territory, recalls his first days promoting his new practice back in 2006, and how the sales advisory and sales training business has changed in Chicago over the past several years.
- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) March 05, 2012 - "Business is always changing. And those of us who have been in professional training for a while have experienced a lot of tough changes over the past several years. Only the strongest survived the worst of our economic turmoil. But Overall, looking back, those of us who lived through it are far stronger after the experience." That's according to Christopher D. Bennett, president and chief advisor of Winfree Business Growth Advisors' Chicago area sales territory. The end of February marked Bennett's sixth anniversary in the sales advisory business.
"I still remember that first BNI (Business Network International) meeting. I had been a salesman and sales trainer for years, but I think I was actually trembling when I delivered my first infomercial representing my Winfree services back in 2006. Two of the people I met in that first meeting ended up being my good friends, and eventually, paying clients.
For me, the biggest change in this marketplace has been the proliferation of laid-off trainers and executives who decided to get into the industry after 2009. Actually, there is plenty of business out there for all of us, but business owners have to be careful and make sure the coach they are hiring is competent. Winfree Black Belt is a tested, established system. We have professionally designed curriculum and materials, a great network to support us, and we guarantee that it works. We are personally certified to represent the system, I had to earn my own black belt. Many of these newcomers can't offer any of that," Bennett said.
Located across the United States, Winfree Business Growth Advisors coaching centers help sales professionals and small business owners to maximize growth potential, and take their respective businesses to a higher level through cutting-edge sales coaching, sales training, and seminars.
"Christopher has done a fantastic job in bringing our philosophies and systems to the Chicago market over the years," said Dr. Keith Winfree, founder of Winfree Business Growth Advisors. "Simply put, what we teach sales professionals and the small business owner works, which is why, unlike other sales training programs, we can guarantee results. It is one of the big reasons why Winfree advisors, like Chris, do so well in their respective territories," Winfree continued.
A long-time resident of Aurora, Illinois, Bennett had worked in marketing, consulting, sales, and sales training before starting his Winfree business in 2006.
"Unlike many sales training programs out there that focus almost exclusively on a single area of the sales process, you know, like product knowledge, prospecting, or closing techniques, our sales training and sales coaching program focuses on the Five Phases of Selling. Completeness, repetition, and accountability are what make our system great. We focus on how to sell. We don't fool clients into thinking that one or two days of training will change their results. It is an ongoing program over three to six months. Frequent, brief exposures to the Black Belt Elements yield tangible results. I guarantee it," said Bennett. ”
Winfree Business Growth Advisors coaching centers provide business owners with sales training, sales management training, sales coaching, business development coaching, owner coaching, seminars, advice in recruiting and hiring sales people, advice to owners on growth issues for their businesses, exit strategies, and succession planning for their companies.
