  • CEO’s and Entrepreneurs so they can formulate, execute and evaluate revenue growth strategies with precision – – effectively, efficiently and predictably.
  • Human Resource Professionals so they can develop next gen leaders, coach underperformers, screen executive job candidates, and drive change management.
  • Sales Management so they can hire the right people, onboard them quickly, evaluate their performance, compensate for results, and coach underperformers.
  • Salespeople so they can better manage sales conversations and continuously improve their skills for networking, scheduling appointments, conducting needs investigation, demonstrating solutions, managing proposals, and negotiating deals.
  • Investors so they can simultaneously drive revenue growth and synergy

I was immediately impressed by Rick’s personable nature and sincere desire to help others develop their skills. He is very knowledgable, and his advice was extremely relevant, detailed and tailored to the audience. He’s a fantastic speaker, has an engaging personality and truly lives the principles that he professes.
