WHO WE ARE

SPJ Consulting works with organizations in the areas of Sales, NegotiationLeadership and Field Coaching to achieve critical business goals quickly, profitably and with high impact.

By partnering with us, clients achieve substantial improvements in organization performance, successful execution of key initiatives and increases in revenue growth and profitability.

Clients choose us because we provide soltuions that is relevant to each audience while still providing core consistency across the organization.  We quickly and deeply customize the content of our core, comprehensive curriculum to integrate with our client’s strategies, markets, products, sales challenges and tools.

SPJ Consulting clients benefit from an experienced team of consulting professionals, all of whom have enjoyed successful careers in sales and management.

Our consultants know how to assess, identify, design, develop and deploy best practice solutions to create optimal value for clients.  From our prior experience as senior level executives, we have first-hand knowledge of the types of business objectives that clients are faced with and understand that their needs likely go far beyond traditional standard, off-the-shelf training.

We believe that if a consultant/trainer has not “felt the pain” associated with being in senior leadership, it is virtually impossible for them to be credible in front of an audience of experienced professionals.
