Greg Wells, CEO, Five Point Capital, “I contracted with Arthur in July 2011 to help us accelerate our sales results with more “hands-on” coaching. He was able to quickly learn our sales process and effectively embed himself in the Five Point Sales Organization. Unlike many consultants who give you answers before knowing the issues, Arthur took the time to listen to literally hundreds of calls and spend hours with each sales representative to better understand our challenges and then develop specific success plans. His one-to-one coaching sessions with reps had an immediate impact with increased sales performance shown in his first month working with us. Arthur brought fresh sales ideas and leveraged technology in ways we had not, allowing him to leverage his time and leverage our results. His vast experience of dissecting a customers true need, combined with his effective coaching and interpersonal skills helped our sales reps achieve results most had not previously achieved. He always respected and supported the management team, finding the right balance of blending his past successes with the vision and direction being set for him to coach in. He is a trustworthy, warm and charismatic individual, with a wealth of wisdom and street smarts and I would recommend Arthur as a resource to any organization serious about improving their sales results.” February 4, 2012
Susan Bantz, CEO, Children’s Physicans’ Medical Group, When we hired Arthur’s firm to build our social media campaign and presence – we had nothing in existance.

Arthur and his team make it pretty easy to acclimate and adjust to the world of social media as an organization and he helped us identify what we needed to directly manage the process. By hiring his company, TechnoPower, we were able to start from scratch and build a robust program that we are able to effectively manage. The value we received from Arthur and his team at TechnoPower exceeded our expectations.” February 20, 2012
