Attendee Comments – September ’13 – Portland

 

“To become a professional you must first make the decision. Either you’re committed to becoming better or you’re not because you have no one else to blame for why you’re not as successful as you’d like to be. This is where the rubber meets the pavement. Michael Hargrove is providing the requisite skills, real life experience, and passion to aspiring and lifelong salespeople. This course is the foundation for acquiring the best practices, long term growth, and potential to be your very best today, tomorrow and far into the future.”
Matthew Vincente Palumbo, Client Advisor – BMW Portland

“I’m tired. I would have preferred starting at 9:00 and going until 4:30 pm. Also I am not seeing the value of an airport location for a substantially local audience. The overhead jets were distracting.”

“I have been to this workshop before, and this time (just like the last two) I am 100% happy that I attended! I come away with a refresher of old information as well as new tools to use. I find BOTH to be valuable and combined with the lifestyle choices and suggestions, I feel excited and motivated!”
