His audiences come from all walks of life to hear his inspirational message on achieving more than YOU think possible.

He was tasked with building a global sales force, establishing contract agreements, developing financial pricing models and in charge of developing the corporate brand and marketing the company’s services for worldwide acceptance.

Within a two and half year time period he grew their business from $14M to $98M in annual revenue. During that time period his sales totals were $162M.

Victor was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President’s Advisory Council in 1999 and 2000 for excellence in sales and management." His success in sales and management also helped him establish channels internationally.

Sales Influence: How to Get People to Buy What You’re Selling
Why do people buy? How do they make buying decisions? What motivates people to buy one product over another of equal value? This sales training workshop begins by analyzing the sales process and breaking it down from the "seller's perspective", but more importantly, from the "buyer's perspective". Being an effective salesperson requires a firm understanding of the "psychological triggers" in the decision making process. Learn new sales tactics to leverage buyers and help you close more deals.

High Tech Sales Influence: Selling Products in the Technology Industry
This sales training program is geared at individuals and companies who are selling technology products. Selling high-tech products can be a more involved and complex sale depending on the average price of the sale. More communication skills and salesmanship are required to manage and guide the sales process; especially when you have to deal with multiple people and/or departments. High Tech Sales Influence provides a new approach that is consistent with the hurried pace and ever-changing dynamics of a complex sale.

Selling The Room: How to Influence, Inspire and Increase Sales
Every time you get up in front of someone you're selling. In this sales training workshop you learn how to sell people (i.e., the room) on a product, service or idea. The fact is you are always selling:

• A salesperson is always selling the company’s product or service.
• A manager is selling the boss on reorganizing the business to maximize profits.
• A top executive is selling a vision of where the company should be headed to the board
of directors.

We are always selling. Presenting is ALL about selling with the intent of increasing revenue or improving your position! Learn how to do it effectively from the front of the room and maximize every opportunity.
