Some people "get it" some people don't "get it." To succeed, spend as much time as you can with those who "get it." Carly O'Brien "gets it" big time. She's like a lighthouse: bright, clear and memorable.

Carly, during our work together you really helped me develop the habits to have a successful and sustainable business. You coached me on sales techniques and added great sales ideas to my business. We used ACCISS and you took it ‘From Book to Reality’. I had my best year and now have the clarity of direction, and the habits, to achieve even greater results.

You did an excellent job. You made everyone feel comfortable and you got them involved in your presentation. We have a lot of growth to accomplish and I feel that you have assisted us in the preliminary stage.

Milestones helped me clarify my focus. I had a plan for the business. Milestones is a reusable process that helps me communicate the plan to staff, be aware of their perceptions and coach for success while my own direction is clear.
We are a successful company, wish to remain successful and prevent tough times. We work with The Achievement Centre to ensure that while we grow we maintain the quality of our biggest asset – our staff. We also learn more about ourselves in the process. While working with Carly, we are able to proactively manage situations to secure our culture and enjoyment of what we do.

Many thanks again for the excellent session yesterday. I have been receiving very positive feedback ... You covered a great deal of information in a short amount of time and did so extremely effectively.

Thank you again for Wednesday evening. Your presentation was very well received our students. They couldn't stop talking about making connections, first impressions and moving towards becoming one team with a common goal. We are going to go into the new term with a lot of energy and enthusiasm!

The tools you have given are really working well for me and have allowed for me to feel much more organized and in control of the workload. This makes me more effective at what I do. I especially like that your tools have much to do with improving working relationships rather than simply improving the work. That's so key.

Thanks Carly!
I want you to know that I have never heard so much positive feedback coming out of a training day with this staff. We took a few minutes to debrief the morning yesterday afternoon with the whole staff and also this morning with just the admin staff and not one negative thing was said. Seriously miraculous!
Thank you so much for your effort and enthusiasm, for modeling a great meeting and for keep reigns on a somewhat difficult group to control in order for us to get the maximum benefit from the day.
I am very excited to help the staff follow up on your “offerings” and continue the discussions in our regular meetings together.
Thanks again.

Great presentation today (Wed 06/02/2008). I wanted to again thank you for taking the time to present during our Business Development/Senior Management Peer to Peer group this morning at Communitech. As I mentioned, I really thought your presentation style and professionalism resonated well within the group.

Thanks again for presenting today. It was very worthwhile.
We received valuable training that will make us more confident and successful in sales and avoid the 'jitters' and pitfalls that often accompany first-time sellers.
The feedback was very positive. We learned many things that we did not know - first of which being that sales has learnable, research-based skills they can use to help improve their results.
