“We contracted with Dave Kahle of The DaCo Corporation to instruct our entire group of sales managers and branch managers — approximately 130 individuals. Dave presented the system in several sessions around the country. Bringing an experienced North American Sales Management team together for training of sales management was philosophically challenging. Prior to the program, many of the managers questioned the value of taking two days out of the field for this exercise. There were no such questions after the program. The participants were unanimous in their praise for the program and Dave’s presentation. We have never had such an immediate, positive and measurable result from any training.  This has been the single most significant investment in training we have ever made.  It’s changed the nature of communication within our sales team in such a way that we expect better sales representative retention rates, more highly motivated managers and sellers, a greater degree of accountability and, yes, increased profitable sales as a result!”

Beyond that, I am very impressed with the values built into the program (the counseling section, and the consistent processes which value the overall dignity of the individual while keeping them accountable).
