Ask anyone who knew him… Skip was an unstoppable force. He was a powerhouse of ideas, driving forward changes that fundamentally transformed how sales professionals approach their craft. Under his guidance, M3 Learning became a worldwide symbol of excellence and innovation, setting a new standard for sales training.
Skip was dedicated to the principle of making every sales call an opportunity for improvement. The ProActive Selling™ technique, a cornerstone of M3 Learning's curriculum, embodies Skip's vision by emphasizing tactical precision and proactive management of the sales cycle.
As an author, Skip's contributions to the field of sales were vast and far-reaching. His works, including the bestsellers "Selling Above and Below the Line," "ProActive Selling," and "ProActive Sales Management," have left an indelible mark on the industry. "ProActive Sales Management”, celebrated five consecutive years as Amazon's number one sales management book, has been translated into multiple languages, and stands as the definitive guide for sales managers worldwide.
