The value that Don provides is incredible. He has helped me understand things about selling and myself that I wished I knew 20 years ago. If I had, I would have made a lot more sales and had a lot less stress. After just a few sessions, I saw selling in a completely different way – more relaxed, more conversational, and more effective. In addition to improving my sales skills, he has helped me understand my personality and style, and how at 53 years old, to be more effective, relaxed, and impactful. It’s been a great advantage to work with Don, not only for my sales but also for my life.

Working with Don has been a Godsend. The encouragement, support and accountability that he provides, helps you have the confidence to try new things and get better results. My sales have nearly doubled from the previous year, and I see myself completely different now, than I did when I started working with him. If you want to increase your skills, your results and your confidence, I highly recommend that you contact Don. I did and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I recently hired Don to help me put a game plan together to sell a brand new service for my company. My expectations were that he would give me a few clever things to say and a sales script or two, but what I got was so much more. He helped me to see the sales process in a completely different light. His thoughtful insights and the sales mindset he has helped me develop were very impactful. In my very first sales conversation, I was able to move the prospect from somewhat skeptical to a genuine interest in knowing more about the value proposition I could help deliver. It was fantastic! Don was able to instill within me the confidence of knowing what to do, what to say, and why I was saying it. I could not recommend Don and his program enough. He will not only help you become a better salesperson, but also show you how to attack the fear and uncertainty that is preventing you from achieving the results you want.

When I first showed up at Don's office I was stuck. I could not figure out a way forward in my business. Don was so encouraging and patient with me while I talked out all of my worries. He took the time to walk me through what was holding me back. There were many ah-ha moments in our sessions. It was through his guidance and support that I made a plan for the future and got myself unstuck. I can say that after our sessions I have now achieved most of the goals in the plan, I am having the best year ever in my business, and am looking forward to continuing to grow my business in the future. Take the time to schedule a meeting with Don, you will not be disappointed!

As the top leader of a non-profit, Don has helped me further define my mission, vision, and values for my agency. As a result, I’ve redefined our operations and identified the tangible behaviors needed by our team to further our mission and create a culture of achievement and service. Everything is starting to come together. In just three months, I have increased our funding by more than 20%, improved our organization operationally, and elevated my leadership skills. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Don is truly extraordinary at what he does. After several strong years in sales, I thought I knew how to acquire clients easily, efficiently, and quickly. My knowledge was incomplete.

Don has the ability and the experience to help seasoned business owners and salesmen recognize the deficits in their prospecting model and the shortcomings of the language they use, and he helps them build a plan for confronting and controlling those rate-limiting problems.

After working with Don to refine my sales processes and to evaluate the framing language I use, I have increased my client intake volume by 14%, my average client value by 12%, and my first-year client retention by 8%. More importantly, I have become more consistent in my client conversation--so that my clients' experiences have the same foundations of priorities and values. As a result, I have finally come to enjoy the gravity and consequence of the work that I do, and my clients are happier to empower me to solve their problems.

Don likes to say he helps business owners recognize the blind spots of their business so they can make their business start to work for them. That's what he does--he finds a way to help people make course corrections, in times when it feels too dangerous or frightening to do so. Implementing Don's advice and perspectives inside of my practice has been one of the most profitable things I have ever done.

I recommend Don to any business owner or sales professional looking to improve their outlook and results. I worked with Don Odem as my business coach for the better part of a year, and in that time, I saw growth both personally and professionally. Don helped me recognize both strengths and opportunities in my approach. This allowed me to focus on what I do best while getting my business to prosper.

Don helped me turn around an inefficient, inconsistent, and highly wasteful production process. He laid out the big picture and the central problem leading to the waste, frustration, and missed deadlines we were experiencing. He helped me cut through the noise and establish a new process that created focus, clarity, and consistency. As a result of his guidance, consulting, and coaching, I have a better handling on things, and we are experiencing more efficiencies, better teamwork, more met deadlines, and less waste. Don is knowledgeable, compassionate, and knows what works. I couldn’t recommend him more.
