Testimonials
“Hans Van Order pushes to a new level by reframing the salesperson’s role more fully on the consulting end of the spectrum. Having thought long and hard about the nature of sales from his experience, observations and study of human psychology, Van Order sees sales as essentially a helping partnership in discovery and solution development between buyer and seller.”
“It is often difficult to get our sales team excited about leaving the sales floor for training. BUT, after Hans worked through the READ Your Customer model with our team, most of our client advisors asked me, “when will he be back?!” The engagement level that I saw during this training is second to none. It brought our team everything we hope for when we invest in training.”
