Our Story

When Alice Kemper started working as a sales consultant 26 years ago, she noticed managers were stressed finding ways to motivate and equip their sales team to sell each week. It was quite different from her experience as sales manager for American Greetings and Harte-Hanks Communications. For Alice, Monday morning sales meetings weren't merely meetings... they were 45 minute workshops that had sellers raring to go make as many contacts as possible. Alice’s team’s sales performance track record exceeded the others.

Meanwhile, Nancy Bleeke worked for Advantage Bank and BRIO Toys hiring, training and coaching sellers and managers. She heard complaints from sellers that they needed help if they were going to sell more. They wanted more from their sales managers – resources and tools with opportunities to grow and earn more. Nancy transitioned to consulting 12 years ago, helping companies increase sales by providing the right tools and training. She developed quick sales boosting workshops to accommodate companies who couldn’t take their sellers out of the field at length.

These short workshops dovetailed perfectly with Alice's short sales meetings. Alice and Nancy swapped content ideas and found that together they had a robust offering!
