"Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful program with the Sales Success Series participants. You were a huge hit with the group and I was thoroughly impressed--you are a great representative of the speaking and training profession."

San Leandro Chamber of Commerce Sales Success Series

"Bill Cole presented his outstanding program, "Winning The Mental Game Of Selling" to our Chamber Of Commerce this past week. His program was very, very well-received. We just wish we had more time to learn from Bill. He clearly has deep knowledge about selling and peak performance and a wonderful ability to share that information so it is immediately useful and meaningful to all types of businesspeople. Bill is a personable, fun, friendly speaker who uses in the moment humor and observations to make his material come alive so it is memorable and meaningful for everyone. Everyone had a great time and learned a wealth of valuable information.

Bill Cole is a business-golf guru. He knows the mental game of selling and the mental game of golf inside and out. He has an amazing ability to take peak performance principles from sport, in this case golf, and relate them directly to sales so people "get it" and can begin using those concepts in their business right away. Bill goes far beyond talking about peak performance sales methods and techniques. He has people live them, so they own them.

Some of the enthusiastic endorsements from our participants included: "You were a huge hit with the group", "I was thoroughly impressed", It was great!", "Great program!", "I wanted the program to go all day!" and "You did a fabulous job!". The evaluations were fantastically positive and there were 20 requests for more information about his services and programs. That's quite a response! Bill knows how to connect with people- and how to teach others to do that. He gets right to the core of what people in sales need and gives them immediate bottom-line value. I highly recommend Bill Cole to any group that wants to learn from an authority in peak performance, especially in selling and in golf. Bill is a real gem!"
