“The ValueSelling Framework was easily understood by our sales teams throughout the world. The eLearning pre-work meant that participants arrived knowing the concepts, making the workshops more engaging since they were practicing and fine-tuning the framework to our clients. By helping us integrate the methodology into our CRM, PJ really helped us embed the ValueSelling sales process into the way we do business.”
