Notable Thoughts from Our Clients
The Summit Solutions is not a one-fits-all process
Is the Summit Solutions a one-fits-all process that will lead to selling more? No, there are plenty of national programs with regional support that will sell you on that. I will tell you from my experience, they are outdated, not personalized, and don’t work. They typically also only focus on the sales department. Brian’s method is to work with the whole organization, while stressing the importance of creating a company culture that people want to be a part of.
As the VP Sales Manager, I was initially skeptical
As the VP Sales Manager, I was initially skeptical and guarded as to why we had to bring in an outside sales expert. I perceived this as an insult to my abilities and the performance of our team. Today I can honestly say that the association, teachings, and concepts Brian presented were the BEST thing to happen to our Company, myself, and our team.
I can say, without reservation, that our success
I can say, without reservation, that our success and growth would not and could not have happened without the help of Summit Learning Solutions.
When we started with Summit Learning Solutions we had 62 employees
When we started with Summit Learning Solutions we had 62 employees mostly serving the state of Michigan. Now, we have nearly 200 employees serving 17 states; and we’re still growing consistently. Moreover, when we started with Summit we sold about 3-5 Million a year in new business; now we sell 13 Million a year in new business.
They sourced and hired our first-ever sales team
They sourced and hired our first-ever sales team and created the sales and marketing plan to start the process. They designed our sales team’s compensation plans, trained them on appropriate sales methodology, and lead our overall strategy. Candidly, we thought they were way too optimistic in their sales projections. It turns out they undersold the possibilities. The program was very successful, very fast.
We are a better, healthier, and the more performance-driven company
We are a better, healthier, and the more performance-driven company now thanks to Brian’s training and support. Most importantly, it’s more profitable.
Brian was also contracted to coach us on teamwork between
Brian was also contracted to coach us on teamwork between the different departments in the company. Engineering, Sales, and Service work more harmoniously now. It’s not all sparkles and unicorns but there is a level of trust and empathy that was not there before. I believe this has led to the company not taking on any jobs that proved to be losers after the sale in these last five years
Personally, Brian helped and challenged me to become a better manager
Personally, Brian helped and challenged me to become a better manager and helped to reshape my thought process. Brian proved to be an excellent sounding board and mentor. Always listening and never judging. He took my input, processed it, and presented ideas with supporting evidence. The final decision and action that was taken were always up to me.
From 2014 until 2020 our company, Automated Process Equipment Corporation
From 2014 until 2020 our company, Automated Process Equipment Corporation, contracted with Brian Nixon of Summit Learning Solutions for consultation and training. As the VP Sales Manager, I was initially skeptical and guarded as to why we had to bring in an outside sales expert. I perceived this as an insult to my abilities and the performance of our team. Today I can honestly say that the association, teachings, and concepts Brian presented were the BEST thing to happen to our Company, myself, and our team.
I had worked with a business consultant in the past.
I had worked with a business consultant in the past. During that experience, it seemed that the person that we were working with was just regurgitating words that he got from us during the interview process. He made some recommendations, and there was no follow-up. Brian, on the other hand, not only gave us valuable recommendations but also gave us a plan to execute and a way to measure the results of this plan.
