Testimonials

• "I don't think of Gregg and Sales Empowerment Group as a separate recruiting firm. Instead, I think of them as an extension of my company. While many recruiters will send you a bunch of warm bodies, they always are sure to send the highest quality candidates in the quickest amount of time. I've even referred Gregg's team business because of what an exceptional job they do for me."

  Loren Brockhouse

  VP of Sales at Businessolver

• "I recommended that Navman Wireless engage Gregg and Sales Empowerment Group and within weeks, we hired one of his candidates after extensive and exhaustive searches with other recruiters. Gregg and I have previously worked together and I believe Gregg is successful at recruiting because he really understands sales and he listens to what people really want and need. Gregg has worked in sales most of his career so he knows what qualities to look for in a great salesperson and he knows how to pair those salespeople with great companies. I would personally recommend both Gregg and Sales Empowerment Group to both salespeople looking for the right fit and companies looking for the right candidates."

I wanted to make sure my sales people had the right skills, tools and awareness to make Rightsize Facility Performance the #1 choice in the industry. I made this investment because I wanted to deliver the best possible client experience out in the marketplace.

  Mason Awtry

  CEO at Rightsize Facility Performance

• "We have worked with Brian over the past year building our sales force, using his sales techniques and following his advice/guidance. His passion and desire to help people/organizations to accomplish their goals is second to none. The majority of consultants have great ideas, however, many times do not execute the plan. Not Brian, he gets it done! Recently, we just added two more sales associates through Sales Empowerment Group and cannot be more delighted with the talent his group recruited for us. With the new addition of our sales staff we will be working with Brian and his group to be the Acting Interim VP of Sales. If you are looking to put in the right sales people, sales structure and "Inspect what you Expect, with Respect" I would call Brian and his group today. You will be glad you did."

• It's my pleasure to recommend Brian O'Neil and Sales Empowerment Group. In the few weeks since I've worked with Brian, I've seen my sales activity increase dramatically and have even closed a couple of sales, which is odd since the sales cycle in my industry is typically three to six months. As a consultant that works primarly on operations and technology, sales has never been an easy discipline for me. I thought it had to do primarily with charisma and personality. Brian helped me to see that, like the work I do on a regular basis, sales is a process driven activity. Together, we designed a sales process that uniquely showcases my product offerings, opens doors to prospective clients and fits with my personality. I can heartliy endorse his work. In addition to being a fine craftsmen, Brian has a great work ethic and a real heart-felt concern for his clients.

• Brian has worked with our agency as a consultant. His sales presentation, "getting in the door" was outstanding. Many of our clients use Brian's consulting services and are extremely pleased with the results. Much of Brian's success comes from his tremendous ability to communicate with his customer. His personal character and values accentuate his superior business skills. His integrity, leadership and work ethic is unquestionable. He never rests until the job is complete and his customer needs are met. At a young age, Brian has discovered the formula for building customer loyalty. Paramount to all the wonderful qualities Brian possesses, both professionally and personally; Brian O'Neil has the ability to do the right thing. He would be an asset to any company that would hire him for his services and consulting skills.
