"Our sales team found the training extremely beneficial and targeted my goal for the session - using strategic selling and negotiation to focus on benefits rather than features to help sustain our number-one market share position," said Leslie Cibor, senior vice president, aftermarket sales, North America. "I received tremendous positive feedback from the team and look forward to partnering with the U of A for round two. We have a hard working, energetic team and this U of A seminar fit perfectly into the event."

He facilitated an interactive program that focused on sales styles, negotiations and enhancing buyer relationships that were well- received by Slime's sales professionals - even at the senior level.

"I know this training will calculate positive results and we plan to keep in touch with U of A to decide how we can work together in the future," said Cibor. "I speak for the entire group when I say 'thank you' for bringing such value to this session."
