Professional Services

How many times have you listened to a speaker and left the meeting without any idea of how to put what you heard into action?

Communicating without understanding the audience or it's need for specific outcomes and action plans is entertaining but useless. If a speaker is to be really valuable, he won't spend his time telling you how he did it, he'll translate the steps into action plans centered around his audience.

I have spent my entire career learning the needs of the industries with which I associate. I learn the nuances and the level of competition and I teach direct, hard-hitting techniques that make winners every time. Your group will be energized because I make learning fun. Don't doubt me. I have proof. I have a lineup of winners across the country who write, call, visit and refer me. Please read what they have to say and then let's talk about what I can do for you and your group.

Excerpts from Consulting Clients Testimonials:

"it is difficult to quantify the full impact that Bill Blades can have on an organization. Suffice it to say that it is substantial"
TAPCO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, Wixom, Michigan

"Bill was brought in because our management could see challenges coming that could only be met by our best efforts. It is hard to imagine that any one individual could have such a tremendous and positive impact on our company as Bill Blades has. He has challenged us, broadened our outlook, and helped us unite our organization behind a solid business plan."
Mid-Am Building Supply, Inc., Moberly, Missouri

"Our managers and sales people learned and successfully tested new techniques after their first session with Bill. Followups included Bill visiting clients with our sales people and closing sales!... Call him - he is literally worth $ millions in sales to any company"
Jager Building Systems, Inc., Calgary, Alberta, Canada

"We used Bill to train our salespeople. He traveled to numerous accounts with them, several of which had been buying very little. Many of these are now solid producing accounts... Our company had a 26% jump in sales last year. This year, to date, we are running 35% ahead of last year. I strongly feel Bill and the consulting work he did for our organization helped light this fire!"
