Kudos from Barbara's Clients
“I
must admit I was one of the skeptics. OPPD had hired consultants and
trainers before but with limited success. Barbara came and did her interviews
and I thought, "Why are you wasting my time? Nothing is going to
change with your training." I could not have been more wrong. Barbara
quickly developed a rapport with the front-line people in our call center.
Barbara gained their confidence and was able to communicate their needs
to management.
Barbara introduced the "OFFER" program to our call reps in
response to their needs and management's desire to increase call center
sales. The "OFFER" program was a complete success. The call
center went from selling from 4 to 8 units per week to about 50 units
per week and in one five week campaign sold over 850. Barbara was worth
every penny we paid her and then some.”

“Barbara brought us a program that has been very useful to us. Moving our folks from being order takers to consultative solutions providers would have been a daunting task without this program. She kept us on track to successful change.”

“Barbara’s program literally transformed our call center.
The representatives started out being opposed to the idea of offering
products and services, or calling themselves a “call center”.
By the end of the project, the representatives were competent consultative
service people and comfortable in their new role. Going in, what we
expected was to increase revenue and penetration rates. What we didn’t
expect was the bonus of a dramatic boost in enthusiasm and commitment
to offering solutions. Now, our entire team is involved in setting goals
and running product promotions.”
