Testimonial #1 - Case Study
We hired Darius for a half day Sales coaching session ( Meddic workshop) at
our annual Kick Off meeting and he nailed it. Our Sales team was convinced
that selling in Europe and Asia was "different" than North America. Darius
was able to articulate several key challenges in the MEDDIC process and
Champion building which are applicable globally. This really helped our
sales teams get unified in our process and communications. The
engagement with the sales team was fantastic which was a strong
confirmation that they got it and were ready to adopt a better way to
approach selling. The feedback from the team after the event was great and
there is no doubt that his actions directly impacted that year's sales
results. I highly recommend Darius.

Testimonial #2 - Case Study
We connected with Darius to support our annual kick off meeting with a challenge to
introduce the MEDDIC qualification process to a mixed audience of both technical and
sales staff. Although the time was short, with only 2 x 4 hour sessions, Darius
managed to articulate the message, and most importantly he involved every person in
the room. Our staff left the sessions with an important, new, view on the basic criteria
of qualifying a sales opportunity from both a technical and commercial perspective.
Darius's experience and his ability to transmit the MEDDIC methodology into simple,
logical steps based on actual scenarios, resulted in a significant step forward in our
teams ability to approach sales opportunities in a far more structured manner.
I can highly recommend Darius to deliver strategic methodologies in a form that is simple
to follow, entertaining to experience, and of high value to any sales or technical
organization.

Testimonial #3 - Case Study
We wanted a sales intervention around MEDDIC to be carried out to evaluate
gaps in our sales processes. After evaluating multiple options we engaged
with Darius and it was a wonderful experience. His analysis of gaps and
recommendations was sharp and actionable. We implemented some of these
and the result is that 12 months out, our monthly revenue is 3x of what it
was 12 months back.
