Steve is a senior sales and marketing rep for a high-tech industrial equipment business. His product line includes a diversity of complex, technical instruments that help companies effectively monitor their industrial processes. The sales process is challenging. Steve needs to quickly assess clients’ problems and match their unique, and often lengthy, technical requirements with a compendium of possible solutions. Steve describes it as a “huge sorting out process with many questions and many moving parts.”
During the past few years, Steve has noted a decline in his mental sharpness, a slowing of his decision-making abilities and increasing difficulty thinking through complex tasks. “My whole thought process was feeling more labored,” Steve says. Deciding it was time to take action, he enrolled in the ExecuThink program, which a friend recommended to him. He liked having access to a professional coach, who could “offer feedback and keep him on track,” he says.
Since his training, Steve has noticed a significant improvement in his ability to recall information and to communicate more clearly. “My access to words is significantly better,” he says. “My ability to remember tasks, conversations and technical data is also much improved.” He’s noticed tremendous improvement in his decision-making ability, and the speed in which he’s able to sort through complex issues has increased. “I’m asking better questions,” he says, “and getting to my end point much faster. Logical conclusions come more easily.”
A key outcome of Steve’s training is his ability to stay focused. Before the training, he described himself as a procrastinator. After his training Steve says he’s “able to stay focused, push through and complete tasks more quickly, with much better results.”
Asked about his willingness to stick with the ExecuThink maintenance program, Steve says, “Absolutely. While the program was challenging, the reward was worth it. I’m thinking faster and clearer. I feel sharper, which gives me more confidence and better business results. It was definitely a worthwhile investment.”
