“Activate Group was instrumental in helping my staff and I focus on our goals and selling skills. We are happy to report our sales are 30% ahead of last year.”
Jill Daley
CEO, Office Interiors International
"My work w/ Howard earlier this year has truly enhanced my selling skills and process AND made me a better rainmaker for our business. While I was great at forming relationships and connections, with Howard’s help I was able to leverage what I already did well and take it to another level. He helped me to better identify and target the areas that I needed to improve upon, focused my efforts on increasing my “speed on the bases” and as a result, I found myself having much more effective meetings with prospects – and spending less time with those who really weren’t qualified.
But the best thing has been the results that I’ve been able to achieve in the last six months. We landed our biggest client ever in the history of the business as well as several other “big fish” – which was one of my goals when I started. I feel more confident and am better prepared in my meetings and I expect that I’ll only continue to improve with the tools and the process that I’ve learned. Thanks Howard!"

“The Activate Group’s Sales Coaching program has made me more aware of every aspect of my working day. I find myself using the techniques constantly, and this has helped me both professionally, resulting in increased billings, and personally as well, in that I am more focused on what I want to accomplish. I would recommend the Activate Group to any salesperson, no matter how experienced, that is interested in greater professional and personal satisfaction.”

Employee Selection
Top Grading, Assessments, Interviewing
“As an entrepreneur, I must admit that I had not paid enough attention to hiring practices until the business was going through a rough patch. We reluctantly agreed to use Activate Group’s Topgrading selection tools and hired our first “A” player shortly thereafter. What a huge difference! Not only did we find that a true “A” can perform the work of 2 or 3 employees in the same capacity, but they also become a model and motivation for others to improve. Now that we are seeing the successful results, I would not ever think of hiring anyone without the use of these tools.
Otmara Diaz-Cooper
President, Diaz & Cooper Advertising, Inc.
We have been working with Activate Group, Inc. to help our business maximize our growth performance during very difficult times in our industry. During the first 9 months in this business relationship, our revenue has increased 17.5% and income from operations has increased 39% compared to the same period last year. We have done this without having to reduce staff like many other firms. The secret to our success has been increasing the percentage of “A” players. Our coach has taught us how to better understand what an “A’ player is for each position and has provided us with processes for employee selection and to hold our team accountable. By continuing to drive the processes we expect to see continued expansion in our profit margin and an acceleration in our growth rate. We highly recommend Activate Group to any firm that wants to take their business to a higher level.

“Having studied 10 books on time management, I saw something in the Activate Group’s experience that added a powerful new dimension to managing a very busy law office, one with great time demands. Their methods have taught me how to approach time planning with a perspective on obstacles that can either impede or significantly improve my performance. In short, it’s the most effective and efficient. ”
