"Jeff brought our office closer together..."
“Having Jeff Beals deliver his workshop at our office gave us a fresh perspective on goal-setting. If we had conducted the workshop on our own, I don’t think we would have given it the same amount of time and attention. Jeff brought our office closer together and gave our brokers confidence in why they should take goal-setting seriously. Jeff gets your agents to make real commitments to themselves, rather than simply satisfy a management request.”
– Chad Snow, President, NAI Commercial, Edmonton, AB, Canada
"His ability to connect with an audience is nothing short of extraordinary!"
“If you are considering hiring Jeff, I will only say this: do it now. His ability to connect with an audience is nothing short of extraordinary. I think the true litmus of any great speaker is authenticity. And when authenticity is coupled with an incredibly high amount of energy, humor, and engagement – you get Jeff. Many speakers can make an audience feel as if their current sales style is out of date, or irrelevant. Or worse yet, leave them feeling completely defeated. Not Jeff. He builds upon their current strengths to help them close deals. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a speaker attendees will talk about for a long time to come.”
– Alison Cody, Executive Director, Manufacturers’ Agents Association for the Food Service Industry, Atlanta, GA
