Todd Cohen's Philosophy of Sales

Todd's work is informed by his belief that "everyone is in sales." He particularly enjoys working with "non-traditional sales people" to help them understand how to sell successfully, and how sales-related skills can translate into many kinds of professional success.

Todd believes that the success of a sales team depends on selecting and training the right people, thinking and working collaboratively, and consistently doing the right activities. He has successfully implemented four Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, which he views as an essential catalyst for driving and measuring the right activities through consistent sales metrics. Todd also has seen from experience that technology and measurement only make a difference when an organization hires the right people and cultivates the skills, competencies and work habits they need to be successful.

Passionate about the value of early and continuous training, Todd is trained in the most successful and classic sales methodologies, including SPIN® Selling, Strategic and Consultative Selling, and Xerox Corporation's Leadership through Quality.
