“I was introduced to Stacia and her program only a few short weeks ago through our trusted partners at Ciena. The timing was perfect, as our team had been focused on determining new strategies to deal with the long term impacts of selling in the post Covid-19 world which has proven challenging to our traditional approaches to prospecting. Even though much of the material we reviewed was developed prior to the current business environment related to the pandemic, it is extremely applicable to the current business climate. Stacia’s methods for improving a seller’s performance around prospecting are extremely practical and can be implemented almost immediately (with a little role-playing of course!) Stacia’s hands-on approach is refreshing and her willingness to provide 1:1 coaching and feedback are very unique given my previous experiences with sales training programs. In my twenty years in sales and sales leadership, I have rarely been this excited to implement a training program but Competitive Selling is the right program to help any business development team quickly improve their results!”

It has been a privilege to be affiliated with Stacia Skinner during my time as Director of Field Sales Training for Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Since 2008, she was not just a contracted vendor to our team, but a true strategic partner and friend.  Her sales acumen and professionalism were provided for both our Americas as well as our Asia Pacific Regions Sales professionals. The unique training style she provided is relevant for anyone who would like to gain a true competitive edge. A variety of offerings allowed individuals to become more comfortable with networking, business dining etiquette, and phone prospecting skills. The participants post event surveys always had Stacia’s training as a highly positive experience, while looking for their next opportunity to be coached by her. Stacia is an asset to any sales organization’s training program. She certainly was an integral part for me!

I would highly recommend the services of Creative Training led by Stacia Skinner. Just as the name of the company implies, she does a deep dive to understand the customer base and develops creative ways that give the most impact. In my experience, she has created processes in which my Inside Sales Team is able to successfully create strong business relationships and increase sales. She is able to relate to the different generations and focuses on obtaining sales when faced with various obstacles. She brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to every interaction throughout her process. She was hired on as a training consultant with my company when typically all training is done in house. This is a person that will work with you and leaves no stones unturned.

Creative Training Solutions helped Bankers’ Bank deepen our internal growth culture for business development. When we invited Stacia Skinner to present at a recent workshop, she conferred with us in advance to customize topics. The resulting presentation brought value to every one of the 30+ employees in the room. She clearly elucidated sales imperatives, such as pre-call planning, the development of a sales pipeline, and productive engagement. We are extremely pleased with the concepts she presented and find the implementation of her new strategies to be very beneficial. Creative Training Solutions helped Bankers’ Bank enhance growth strategies by serving as a resource for leadership, and presenting at an internal workshop. Stacia Skinner clearly elucidates the planning, imperatives and resourceful techniques necessary for a successful sales relationship.

I had the pleasure of participating in one of Stacia’s sales training seminars. As I started my new role, I thought I understood the sales process and how to present to clients. Stacia began her three day course asking for us to have an open mind as she would provide a different look into the sales cycle. By the time I left, I was confident in meeting with clients, prospecting new business, and even leaving voicemails. A year after her training, I have been awarded for being the Sales Rep of the Year at my company. If you are looking to encourage new selling behaviors for your current team and new hires, I would strongly recommend taking a course led by Stacia.

Stacia Skinner is the most energetic and enthusiastic sales trainer I have ever seen. Her energy level is just as high at 3:30 in the afternoon as it is at 8:30 in the morning! During training sessions, specific and relative sales situations are discussed with training participants, and that keeps everyone engaged and learning. She appropriately blends humor with a no-nonsense approach to achieving success. The content of her material is hands-on and can be put to use immediately. Stacia's training helped our company gain new business, manage our time wisely and put a system in place which allows us to identify the progress we are making toward realizing our goals. I have used Stacia Skinner's sales training services for several years, plan to utilize her training in the future and highly recommend her sales training programs.
