Rocky is a winner. He is knowledgeable and moreover able to relate that
knowledge into usable tools of my trade – broadcast sales. While training with
Rocky, our sales team over achieved. I personally grew my business. His
expertise and creative selling techniques are with me to this day.
Doug HaightWRGB CBS-6 / CW

For the past couple of years we have seen our commission income level and needed
to make a change. The changes that our agency has made due to The Training Group
certainly were instrumental in our agency seeing significant growth last year in
a “soft” market.
George A. Ryan, Jr.VICE PRESIDENT, WHEELER & TAYLOR, INC.

Rocky, I can tell that you are very professional and take your job seriously. To
be honest, I was reluctant to attend these training sessions and questioned the
benefit of them. I was surprised, however, at how close to the mark you came
with the personality profile. If I am honest with myself, I can see that there
are improvements that can be made in my attitudes and reactions to customers as
well as people in general. These sessions could have a personal as well as a
professional benefit.
Looking forward to our next session!
Sean McCannAWESCO

OMG’s Sales Assessments played a large part in Perfect Restoration hiring 2 and
hopefully 3 outstanding sales professionals. Thank you again!
John McPhillipsChief Administrative Officer of Perfect Restoration & Cleaning
Corp.

Rocky, thanks a ton for helping to make our Rally breakout a success. You were
able to truly impact the team in 30 minutes with tips and strategy around
creating a sense of urgency. In particular the key points on blocking time to
prospect as well as creating a sense of urgency in the customer by slowing down
and asking better questions was spot on!
I am truly looking forward to 2021 and how we can continue to impact our sales
teams for success.
Thanks
TonySales Effectiveness Manager of Comcast Business

In March of this year we were referred to Rocky and Marci by a member of The
Collective Genius. We’ve been in business for 23 years and have bought thousands
of houses, and never really understood how to reliably hire awesome,
professional salespeople. We got lucky a few times, but more often we hired
wrong and it was damaging and expensive to our business. What we have learned
and implemented from Rocky and Marci is the single most important hiring
improvement we’ve made in 23 years. Had we known about Rocky and Marci earlier,
we would have had millions of dollars of additional profit.

I am a Seasoned sales development expert with over 25 years in sales development
and training. As a sales veteran, I have worked with a myriad of sales teams in
the areas of individual rep evaluation and analysis, development, in-depth
training, sales management, customer service, and leadership. With regard to
overall strategy, I focus on the core products and services of the business to
refine and build a complimentary sales strategy in line with the goals and
objectives of the company for maximum ROI.

Throughout my career, I have worked with well over 1,000 companies of all sizes
in various industries and have found one thing to be true. Transition and change
in business is not only difficult, but inevitable. I thrive in the evolutionary
environment undergoing a new product offering, new leadership, new technology,
and changing business landscape, having experienced each of these many times
with my clients.

I am always open to an introduction through LinkedIn to discuss any of the
attributes listed above.


Experience

CEO
Sales Development Expert

October 2014 – Present Clearwater, Fl

Sales Development Expert is a Sales focused consulting, training, development,
and sales hiring organization. We typically work with Presidents, CEO’s and
Business Owners who are frustrated because sales are not growing as fast as they
like.

Our proven process helps organizations grow 20-30% on top of the normal growth
patterns.


Partner Coach
The Objective Management Group Inc.

2008 – 2022

On-board new partners and assist in the growth of current partners in the
evaluation process of sales teams across the globe. Our assessment helps our
customers gain valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each sales
rep, and the program was built specifically for sales. We walk you through:
-Sales rep evaluation
-Results analysis and breakdown
-Executive findings to breakdown the blue print for how to fix any sales issues
uncovered


Founder /CEO
MyProfessionalDevelopment.com

March 2003 – Present

MyProfessionalDevelopment is a program created specifically for sales teams.
With decades of sales experiences, successes and failures, we look to share the
valuable insight and information we’ve uncovered after years of trial and error.
Our goal is to improve quality of life by providing cutting edge tools for
professional and personal development and shorten the path to sales success. Our
methodology focuses on three core beliefs:

1. Ownership – unconscious competency, which takes time and effort
2. Reinforcement – the act of repeatedly focusing on a skill over time, then
applying it to the real world
3. Impact – condensed training cannot be absorbed or retained in a three day
time period – it takes patience and dedication.

This is not achieved with a three day seminar for your sales team. This is a
tested, proven methodology for the steady improvement of a sales team over time,
achieved with training modules to be completed with full accountability on the
sales rep in his or her own time.


President
The Training Group

May 1994 – December 2014

The Training Group was born as a provider of soft skills training in 1995. Four
years later we built another company that focused on Sales Specific Hiring. That
company sold in 2004 and The Training Group was reborn as primarily a firm
focused on building revenue for clients through improved hiring practices and
building skills in sales, leadership and customer service department. We also
provide online training with a true learning Management system and have the
ability to rapidly customize the curriculums to the companies and individuals in
those companies we work with.

KENT MALINOWSKI


PARTNER ASSOCIATE

Black Linkedin Icon Black Twitter Icon Black Facebook Icon Black Instagram Icon

Kent serves as CEO of SuccessWorks, Inc. and as a professor at Idaho State
University’s College of Business. As one of America’s leading sales development
wizards, he reminds us, “Salespeople will NOT rise to the moment, they will fall
to their level of training”.

His company increased client revenues by more than billion dollars while
shrinking sales cycle-times by 40 percent.  SuccessWorks’ training, consulting
and expertise have “Broken the Sales Code” by deploying groundbreaking systems
for sales success. These systems re-invented methodologies for hiring People;
managing the sales Pipeline; and executing the sales Process.

Kent began his sales career at the age of nine selling snow removal contracts to
his neighbors. He has sold something every day since.  He spent years “carrying
a bag” selling enterprise accounts in the technology space.  At 30, Kent led a
Fortune 500 company division that invented and marketed a new technology (you’d
know it as .mp3 digital music) that made ‘portable’ possible.   Kent founded
SuccessWorks in 1994, transforming the lives of thousands of salespeople for
companies including General Electric, Harris Corporation, Ultimate Software/UKG,
and Weitz Construction. In 2022, ISU asked him to join them preparing college
students for successful careers in enterprise sales.

He carries certifications in salesforce development, human behavior, motivation,
and emotional intelligence (which simply means he discovered some keen insights
about how customers buy and how salespeople sell).
