WHAT PEOPLE SAY
A few words from blueprint clients
"I just wanted to take some time to personally thank you for completely changing my life. Ever since our three-day session in Parsippany, my mindset has shifted from a partially confused employee pursuing a mundane corporate existence to a world-class business professional with a clear life mission: I want to positively impact people’s lives.
How am I doing this? By having a growth mindset and sharing it with people who are looking for more.
Why am I doing this? Because I genuinely take pleasure in challenging myself and others to look beyond conventional aspects of life in order to realize dreams."
~ Commercial professional - Reckitt Benckiser
"I have worked with Julien LeBlanc and the blueprint team for several years and the results have been outstanding.
We have engaged Julien in many ways. We have utilized his services for our own sales and marketing teams in addition to in person and virtual coaching sessions for our premier healthcare partners. Julien’s ability to assess the needs and objectives of our clients to create customized end to end programs has added value and optimized sales for all stakeholders.
The passion Julien infuses into his sessions creates the momentum needed to carry our objectives forward to achieve both short and long term goals. blueprint’s ability to engage both in person and through technology such as Webex has allowed us to efficiently and effectively deliver programs to clients all over the country.
My expectations are continually surpassed with the results delivered through this program I would highly recommend Julien and the blueprint team."
~ Vice President, Strategy and Business Development - Phonak Canada
"The training was incredible, very hands on. Lots of role playing.
What blueprint was presenting was something you could apply in real world situations. With the experiences I had in the past, it all came together for me during the training. We learned how to sell the solution, and not just come in selling our products which we thought could solve everything. Take the time to talk to the customer and understand their needs and build a solution for them which they understood and could see themselves using.
I've since closed other large deals and I owe much of my success to blueprint Consultants - without their training, I don't think I would have been able to bring it all together. They are an amazing team. The training was over a few days and that's the first time I wished the training would continue longer."
~ Founder - Scrow Consulting
"I don’t think the words I’m about to type will actually do any justice to the amount of APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE I have for all of you, but I’m going to try my best.
It’s not often that you find a partner, whether it be in life, or especially in business that you feel such close alignment with. The connection between our company and blueprint – but really, with me, for me – is rooted in such trust and admiration for how you’ve all honed your craft. I continue to be mesmerized. The thought and genuine care you put into helping us not just learn, but really Grow, is astonishing.
Just when I think you’ve raised the bar as high as we can go, you find a way to take it to the next level. Everyone was practically in tears they left so fulfilled from the learning experience, and then Che finds a way to take it up a notch (so what if he stood on a chair to do it)!
I will close with THANK YOU, because there are no better words left to say."
~ Director, Sales Training - CPG Company
"We use Julien and blueprint Management for development, coaching, and delivery of our sales skill curriculum. They quickly become part of our company as far as knowledge of our industry, company ethics and culture, which gains the trust of all our sales leadership and sales team which helps to shorten the learning curve.
This not only speaks to Julien's capabilities but also to all of the blueprint Management team.
You won't regret bringing them into help you begin your journey to 'World Class'."
~ Director of Sales Training - McCain Foods, Inc, USA
“Blueprint’s program on selling and negotiation had a tremendous impact on our selling organization.
Their creative approach to keep all attendees engaged and motivated is unlike any training I've experienced. Their theories and live practice of role play during the training is highly effective and we have already experienced success with our negotiations with buyers from Walmart.
I highly recommend this training for all selling levels within an organization from VP down to entry level sales people.”
~ Trade Marketing Director Retail & Foodservice at Land O'Lakes, Inc
“I wanted to thank you for the great training sessions you led for us. I reviewed my notes from the sessions and thought I would implement one of the strategies with a prospective customer.
I have been trying to get this customer's attention for nearly four years. Typically he won’t respond and the times he has answered my calls he tells me he is happy with his current supplier. My plan was to reiterate that I knew he was happy with his supplier and place a hook regarding supply uncertainty. This company has over 80 locations in 16 states and is growing rapidly. They are a customer we would like to have in our portfolio. Well, the strategy worked, he has agreed to a meeting for the first time ever. Thanks Kelly!”
~ Regional Sales Director at JBS
“I was introduced to John Haime through a mutual friend. We were starting a new leadership program called tomorrow’s leaders, and we needed help preparing this high potential group to lead my company. The program is for the top 1% achievers to prepare them for upper management in our organization.
John’s experience was invaluable in helping us build the program. But, more importantly his coaching of all 8 individuals generated results I never expected. As you know when developing high achievers in order for them to be of value at the next level, careful development and behavioral change is needed. John was able to do this with our 8 high potentials. Two have been promoted and all are on track for leadership positions in the organization. His teachings were invaluable for all participants, in and out of work. The biggest mistake you could make is not to have John work with your people.”
~ Marty Reser - Vice President, Sales at Reser’s Fine Foods
“The blueprint team was a pleasure to work with. From the early stages of planning our event to the conclusion they were with us the entire way. Their professional and fun approach worked wonders on engaging and helping us receive some of our best participation and ratings numbers ever.
We are very thankful to have found them and will continue to leverage their expertise when hosting events in the future!”
~ Matthew Witt, Director of Business Development, IFDA
"Jill has added tremendous value to our Marketing organization. As a global company, she has allowed us to take our strategy to a deeper level. After facilitating a department wide session, Jill has continued to bring her experience and skillset to variety of different projects. She is easy to communicate with, always adds insights, and we are grateful for the passion she brings to the table. The best part is that we completely trust Jill to deliver what we need, in whatever capacity we need, virtual or in person.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with Jill and blueprint!”
~ Sierra Denault, Senior Marketing - Commercial Marketing Sonova
“I just wanted to thank you, and let you know how much I enjoyed the virtual workshop, Kelly! I am hoping we will have a “to be continued,” in the near future. I learned a lot, and had so much fun, even while being pushed out of my comfort zone!
We spend so much time focused on the sale, and the anticipated outcome, that the process with the customer mindset, is usually far in the background.
I feel so fortunate to be returning to work with a refreshed, and different approach in mind, along with many amazing tools to draw on for success. Thank you for your expertise, your ability to take the anxiety out of being vulnerable while learning with our peers, and your skill at reeling us back in when we were having so much fun just being together. This opportunity was greatly appreciated.”
~ Sales Executive, Webber Naturals
“Ed, I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to partake, learn and gain insight that will help elevate me to the next level in life.
Mushin, AAA, RASA, STARQE and FFF are truly next level techniques that can take one from ordinary to extraordinary! I took to heart the training you brought to the table and plan to apply this to every area of my life. When I look at the blueprint team, I see iron sharpening iron which makes a dynamic force that is unstoppable. I am falling in love with the process and will continue to use these teachings throughout my life.
~ Jeremiah Parker, Sales Executive - Mountaire Farms
blueprint did a great job as always! The entire sales team came away energized. It was like we all just took a mental shot of Red Bull through an IV.
The content was as strong as ever, and the refresher on “Sales and Negotiations” was just right.
I loved the tag-team approach of two facilitators in a more complicated “Virtual” session. That example alone will make us stronger as to how we utilize this new way of influencing both our external and internal customers moving forward.
~ Chris Chanski, VP Sales & Marketing - Illes Foods
“My organization utilized blueprint’s services to conduct a company-wide training initiative around storytelling and negotiations. We were so impressed with the blueprint team and their methodologies that the sessions were expanded to our two sister companies as well.
The workshops were interactive and instead of training by teaching, blueprint’s model is built around training by doing. While many of our folks were taken out of their comfort zone, the extensive role plays were invaluable in simulating real world interactions between buyers and sellers. The facilitators kept the sessions fast paced, stimulating and fun.
Most importantly, these sessions led to significantly more productive meetings with our retailer partners with winning outcomes for all involved. I highly recommend blueprint to any organization looking to elevate the capabilities of their teams.”
