“I cannot recommend Kevin and his work highly enough. Kevin’s training for salespeople comes in short, digestible sessions with highly actionable ideas for immediate success. We saw significant increases not only in sales, but also in activity levels after our training sessions. Kevin gives tried and tested ideas that come from his experience managing successful sales teams himself and he is always available as a resource for our team. If you don’t work with Kevin, you are missing out on significant opportunity for improvement.”

“Kevin has a magical way of turning industry jargon into language any business owner wants to hear. In our office, we call them “Kevin-isms” and still use them today. At least quarterly, Kevin would lead our team in a role-playing exercise in which even the most senior members of the team took a nugget of knowledge to use themselves and, as management, we were glad the rookies were there to soak it all in!”

“I met Kevin Gephart when he was working at Clear Channel Radio now known as iHeartRadio. I was impressed with his leadership and encouraged him to join the ranks at Clear Channel Outdoor in 2000. We all took turns in our Thursday sales meetings to role play and share presentations. Each time it was Kevin’s turn to present I’d walk away from that meeting inspired and with some golden nugget to take into my week. Kevin always has had a way of connecting with his clients through his insights. His ability to conduct a thorough client’s needs analysis uncovers pinpoints and obstacles and then demonstrate how we can overcome them with our solutions. Always impressive! There are some phases he uses that will always remind me of him. Legendary!”
