"In 2004 we engaged David to merge acting principles with sales techniques and deliver the result in training workshops to our sales agents across the country. The reception from our field force was incredible and David's efforts were one of the reasons our division achieved a 30% sales increase."

Don Gillette
Vice President,
Middle America Sales and Marketing,
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company

"In the week since David Mann came in and worked with our callers, we have seen a 40% increase in results on a per contact basis.  I calculate that we have paid for the class 12 times over, just in the first week! Same list, same callers -- just an amazing difference now that they have a few extra tools in their belt."

Greg Bonine-Giles
Director of Individual Giving and Gifts
Guthrie Theater

"David Mann seminars are by far the best sales training I've ever received. This is the only training available that teaches specifics on how to say it, how not to say it, and how to say it without saying anything at all. All the clever things I've learned from other training classes over the years are worthless without knowing how to communicate and build trust."

Brian Essex
Vice President
AIM Association

"David Mann's lively, provocative and entertaining presentation during our agency's corporate retreat was terrific….. He invigorated our staff to think not just as businesspeople, but as communicators and artists. Bravo!!"

Paul Maccabee
President
Maccabee Group Public Relations

"What particularly stood out was the presentation and role play from David. Over time, little habits settle in [to our sales presentations] that take us away from the original script. David was able to point them out in his own non-confrontational way, and put a positive spin on the whole exercise. I have heard back from all our agents that they are implementing these suggestions and seeing direct results."

Frank Vandersande
Huggins Financial Group

From the Participants:

“We often become mechanical in our presentations – acting skills help bring clarity to our delivery”

“I wish I’d had this type of theatrical training earlier in my selling career”

“People tend to reach a comfort level and don’t realize they may be losing the power behind their presentation”

“I love hearing and seeing other presentations to help improve mine”

“Watching David’s command of voice and body language helps you develop your own."
