"Connie's insights and coaching has had a direct impact on my production"

Sherrie Buxbaum
CPC, accounting and finance search recruiter

"Thanks again for an excellent 2-day "Presentation Skills" session. It has been most impactful. One of my objectives in the session was to understand my voice volume, as I have found that people tend to ask me to repeat during one-on-one conversations. With a renewed confidence in my presentation skills, I have allowed this to translate into my daily conversations."

"My confidence on the phone has increased 100% since our last coach call. The role-plays made me feel much more at ease with my calls. I set up three meetings with qualified prospects last week."

Allen Belice
Financial Advisor

"Coming from banking into a global wealth management firm, it was a shock to proactively meet the demands of new business development. Connie Kadansky helped me to "mentally and emotionally" accept prospecting as a vital consistent activity. I was reluctant to prospect and promote. Coaching with Connie helped me become more comfortable, competent and consistent with prospecting. She also coached me in closing a couple pieces of key business!"

"After each coach call with Connie, I am inspired, excited and have a strategy and structure to move forward. Action has never been something that stopped me. I am now taking actions that are strategized and structured. I am fearlessly looking forward to my book being complete January 2010."

"I consistently found value in the Call Reluctance program with Connie as the facilitator. It is the only program that I am aware of that assesses and then provides a complete program to understand and address the individual's training needs. Incredibly valuable to any sales manager."

Stacey Gross

"Before contacting Connie, I would drive 100 miles to avoid making a prospecting phone call. After two weeks of coaching, I actually enjoyed making the calls.

Connie's analysis of my situation was "spot on". She is exceptionally skilled at identifying needs and recommending solutions that work.

I am a baby boomer and have had a very successful career in sales and sales management. Call Reluctance is something that slipped into my routine over the years. It grows on you and continually eats away at you until you don't know how to combat it. Connie made me feel very comfortable with the process. She truly has a handle on how to help get you "back of track". Because of her program and help I continue to make prospecting calls with ease and effectiveness. "

"I feel the Call Reluctance seminar we attended was very helpful in identifying the day to day monsters that prevent people from being as successful. Not only does the program help you identify your demons, but it also gives you a roadmap or "prescription" which, if followed through on completely, will help you improve your performance.

The four week follow up coaching program is outstanding. Connie was extremely adept at helping me arrive at conclusions, rather than telling me what to do. This was good because it allowed me to carve out my own path. She enabled me to become deeply introspective and see things that probably just ignored, which were the primary causes of performance issues.

Second, execution is a concept that we all struggle with at one point or another. I knew every week I would be talking to Connie. What a great tool for accountability! I highly recommend this program to any and everyone who is thinking about getting into sales or even to the veteran who's seen and done it all. If we aren't constantly finding new ways to hone our skills, then we will be left behind. Our team is off to its best start in the history of our company and I have to say, Connie and this program have played a very large role in our success!"

Executive Recruiter

"How excellent is your presentation! Your material not only fills a great need for many people, but is so captivating because of your style."

Wyatt Earp
Veteran New York Life Agent

The life of an executive recruiter, especially in the early development stage, is often curious, confusing and challenging. Those who have “succeeded” in many other aspects of the business world often find themselves riding an emotional roller coaster that seems to be caroming off the proverbial cliff. I found myself in that place when I began to attempt to uncover the “why” of my frustration with call reluctance. My quest ultimately led me to Connie Kadansky. After completing and reviewing the SPQ Gold Assessment with Connie, developing a communication plan, reading the information that was provided and instituting the exercises into my daily living and thinking, I was able to exponentially increase my placement activity in 3 months! I would encourage and highly recommend Connie Kadansky to everyone who wants to excel in the recruiting or sales industry, especially you have any inkling of call reluctant thoughts and/or feelings.
