  TESTIMONIALS

  "I use your outline prep format for every speech, sales presentation, internal training, even conference calls I deliver. It has really made my preparation faster and more effective! The 'character and dialogue' concept makes these presentations not only more fun for my listeners, but a heck of a lot more fun for me! Without your coaching I would have been swamped trying to prepare."
  —Libby Easton, Director of Business Development, ADP

  "After Patricia Fripp worked with our sales team for one day, we totally rewrote our sales presentation based on her invaluable advice. Since then, we have enjoyed dramatic results and significantly higher sales. A day with Fripp was a great investment."
  —Joe Wester, Senior Vice President, SalesLink, A CMGI Company

  "The day after I worked with you I more than tripled my close rate on a $3,000 product in a presentation to another group. We've been promoting seminars and products for Tom Hopkins for over 20 years, and even Tom has been unable to give us the specific training we needed. You did and multiplied our effectiveness beyond belief."
  — Ron Marks, President, Results Seminars

  "I have an important sales presentation to deliver to 200 people. I was all set to go until I reviewed the entire program based on the advice you gave. I tore up the entire talk, edited it in half, and rehearsed it the way you showed. It now sings."
  —Jim Smith, SPHR, People Inc.

  "Coming out of the training session with Patricia Fripp, I'd have to say I wasn't just ready to give a presentation to a large audience—I am looking forward to it. Considering I'd rather jump out of airplanes than speak for audiences, that's a stunning endorsement. And Patricia's training was excellent. Bring her back—pay her double. Everyone in our company needs to be trained in the Fripp Sales Presentation methods. What a great combination of sales, persuasion and speaking skills."
  — Eric Stieler, AG Consulting

  "Preparation is an extinct art! Most salespeople (or at least the average ones) take the easy way out and 'wing it' far too many times. You focused on both the importance of the message and what it takes to craft that message in a way that grabs the prospect. I guarantee you that now all my salespeople are rethinking how they open a presentation and how they can make the most out of their time with the prospect. Thanks for a great presentation and making us think."
  —Dave Delventhal, National Sales Director, AG Consulting

  "What a great two days! From a simple ROI standpoint, I am confident we will see a payback in less than 4 months. From my standpoint, a salesperson's sales cycle can begin or end with how well they give their presentation."
  —Greg Stivers, Division Vice President, ADP

  "I came to the Fripp sales presentation class with an internalized skeptical attitude...I was open to possibility that the class would be valuable, but I was not 'banking' that it would be...and I walked away with some very valuable concepts. Thank you.

  Since then, I have 'formally' integrated your concepts in the team planning phase as we prepare for presentation...message crafting with my technical team and focusing on story telling and direct quotes that tie back into the technical concepts...

  In my last experience with this, we had our planning session the day prior to the presentation. I practiced my 'lines' that night at home as I bathed my kids and got them off to bed. After 'delivering the message' to five and six year olds, covered with bubbles and relatively disinterested, I was prepared for my real audience.

  The presentation went off well, and I am confident that we set ourselves apart from our competition...we hit our goals for the day. We are still 'in' this deal and are positioned to win it...it has yet to be awarded. I do not believe that we would be as well-positioned if we had taken the traditional path...our quotes of the players in the room from previous encounters flushed out additional information that has helped us to better understand their buying criteria. I am now a Fripp 'believer.'"
  —Julie Morris, District Manager, ADP National Accounts

Yes, I'm serious about successful sales presentations. I'm ready for a conversation with Patricia.
