He delivers dynamic, energetic, educational programs for our sales audiences and receives rave reviews! He has the rare ability to captivate, motivate, and engage virtual audiences.

If you are looking for a professional speaker who can educate, entertain and engage a virtual audience, I highly recommend Lee Salz.

Lee’s ability to share stories and leave the audience with actionable takeaways is why he is one of the best in the business. Say, 'Goodbye,' to stale power-point webinars and make yourself look good by hiring Lee for your next virtual program.”- Lee Roberts, Shareholder & Director of Sales BerganKDV

One message from a longtime IPPA member said it all, “best sales webinar I have seen,” and he didn’t even need a PowerPoint to support his message. Lee’s high energy kept the audience’s attention throughout thevirtual  presentation. He even took the time to answer questions live from the participants, and brought his new puppy on air for a quick hello, brightening attendee spirits and providing a personal connection with those in the virtual program.- Cheryl Whelan, IPPA Executive Director

My company contracted with Lee as a virtual sales coach for me and we worked together for 18 months.

With his guidance, we have had record sales for the last few months and hired the right sales leader to implement the strategies he developed. These results are directly attributable to our work with Lee. I am confident our road to that growth would have been very challenging without his help. We are also excited about the sales playbooks you developed for us to position us for scalable growth. It is also worth noting that this entire engagement was virtual. This may be the first time we contracted with Sales Architects, but it won’t be our last.- Daryl Hancock, Chief Operating Officer, Accounting Seed

“I had the pleasure of hiring Lee Salz for a keynote and follow on workshop at the 2019 IPPA Sales & Marketing Conference in Las Vegas. There are a lot of sales motivational speakers that bring energy, but I was very impressed with Lee’s ability to bring it all! Content, energy, humor and audience engagement. Many conference attendees leave and go back to their daily lives implementing very little of what they learned. I promise you, Lee won’t let that happen. I highly recommend Lee to be part of any event an organization or company wishes to take to the next level.”- Lee Roberts, IPPA

In the summer of 2019 I was consistently getting sales leads, but inconsistently handling them, leading to very disappointing results. After reading Sales Differentiation twice, I reached out to Lee and hired him to be my virtual sales coach. Lee and I began working meticulously on a customized, systematic approach to handling sales leads that showed tangible results within 3 weeks of collaboration. Because of Lee's guidance and methods, I am now crystal clear and confident on how I handle every lead to ensure that the prospective client and my firm are set up for a successful business relationship. Since working with Lee, I’m ten for ten winning deals at the prices I want. Thank you, Lee!- Rob Altieri, Principal, Frankel Loughran Starr & Vallone LLP

Lee gave an incredible presentation at our inaugural industry event that really resonated with all of the attendees. This may sound simple but our industry is not known for accepting “salespeople” with a “sales message”.

Through humor, great stories and a real personal touch he delivered the message of the value a “salesperson” brings to their clients.- Scott Klein, President, Your Hearing Network

For the first time in the history of our company, we have a clearly defined strategy for our salespeople to use to differentiate us from each one of our major competitors. We initially were looking for a speaker for our sales meeting when our CEO came across the Knock-Out the Competition! sales differentiation program. After learning about the program, we quickly decided that what our salespeople really needed was a defined strategy to help them differentiate our line of products rather than a rah-rah session. The sales differentiation playbook that Lee puts together from this program is like nothing you’ve seen before…very impressive! It is a tool that our leadership team can now use to help our salespeople win more deals at the prices we want.

Fortunately, last fall, we met Lee at an industry conference and hired him to help us articulate our story.

I knew we had something special when our veteran salespeople were openly embracing using the differentiators in their sales process. I highly recommend you consider Lee's "Knock-Out the Competition" workshop if you want to take your sales effort to the next level.- James J. Ferry, President and CEO, TradeSource, Inc.

Our salespeople sell what many see as a commodity. I contracted with Sales Architects to deliver “Knock-Out the Competition!” to change that perception amongst my salespeople and assist them to position our value. When I initially told my team of veteran salespeople about the program, they were skeptical. Afterwards, each one of them came back to me and raved about their experiences in the program. It was gratifying to hear from my team that they now recognize, as a result of this program, that they do not sell a commodity. They have new-found energy and clarity on what makes us different…and they know how to help their buyers see those differences.- John Weaver, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Morbern

Our sales team ranges from first sales job to experienced sales veteran…and they all loved the program. The Sales Differentiation guide that was produced from this session is being used to reinforce the strategy and teach our newly-hired salespeople how to position our differentiators with prospects.

We look forward to working with Sales Architects on other sales force development initiatives.- Chris Tanner, Chief Operating Officer/Partner, Rose Paving LLC
