Further Testimonials & Clients

Kris Rogers, VP Sales, Blendtek Ingredients

As a new sales leader, I was looking for someone to help me standardize our sales process and lay the foundation for enhancing the skill of the entire sales team. Rick’s program included a comprehensive assessment of each sales rep so I could better understand the strengths and development needs of the team I inherited. The assessments immediately enhanced the self-awareness of the individuals as well my own ability to coach them where they needed it. Rick helped define and fine-tune the stages of our sales cycle and provided tools that we were able to implement directly into our CRM. The development sessions where my team needed the most help were very well prepared and delivered, and it has helped jump-start our ongoing development in selling skills. Rick’s program delivered what it promised and I have no doubt we will quickly realize the return on investment

Ofir Smadja, Founder & CEO COMSolve

COMsolve recently used Peak Performance Leadership Services as part of our hiring process of sales and business development expert. Having deeper insight into the candidate capabilities than the traditional hiring process, primarily based on skills and past performances, was essential for COMSolve. The PPLS online assessments revealed the actual sales knowledge of our lead candidate. The EI/EQ assessment results gave us an understanding of critical areas when hiring, such as the correct fit with our current organization's values. Debriefing the assessment results with Rick's feedback ensured we understood vital characteristics of our potential new hire, including communication and leadership style, motivators, and potential areas for development, to name a few. This process shortened our onboarding process and allowed our new team member to gain traction and be productive sooner. How we hire has changed for the better. We appreciate the collaborative approach and results of working with Rick and Peak Performance Leadership.

Douglas Bundock, Vice President Operations at Benson Kearley IFG

I have been a part of the Mackay CEO Forums group for a about a year now. Rick is the Chair of our group and does a masterful job of coordinating the bi monthly sessions. There is quite an art to managing a day with 10 or so entrepreneurs in the room. The knowing when to let a discussion go and when to move things along is a skill that Rick just has. Emotional Intelligence at its best. After every session I walk away being a better person. I am motivated to grow both my business and personally. Professional, respectful, kind are all words I would use to describe Rick and his abilities. I would highly recommend Rick as a facilitator and leader.

Basil Marcus, Director, Business Development Marketing, Foss National Leasing

We recently had Rick attend our National Kickoff Meeting to do a keynote speech 'Evolution of the Customer' and some workshops with our team. The amount of organisation and research that Rick put in to make sure that this was not just another out of the box session was very refreshing. His content was on point and relevant to our industry and the times we live in. Our team found this session truly interesting and engaging with the day passing in a blink of the eye. On our post meeting survey our entire team commended Rick and said that his session was the highlight of our entire meeting. I could not recommend Rick highly enough if you are looking for a keynote speaker or someone to get your team engaged and motivated
