“Working with Rob and his team has been an eye-opening and game changing experience. Rob’s ability to take his incredible wealth of knowledge and apply it to your team is second to none. I find myself constantly going back over my notes to better, not only myself, but how I teach my team. Within 48 hours of wrapping up our sessions, one of my reps was able to apply the principles learned and saved a major account.”

“I was a bit apprehensive when we first began partnering with Game Face because I wasn’t sure how it was going to impact our well-established process. But Rob, who visits us regularly, has been so incredibly helpful in enhancing our training infrastructure – specifically our sales training. He brought something new and fresh to the table that we hadn’t had before. He trains everyone from our new hires to our management team and there’s always something new to learn each time he visits. I’ve really been able to lean on him as a consultant to our business and he’s become more of an Abstrakt team/family member than a service provider. I’m always excited to see what he’s going to bring to us next!”
Jessica Rentel

Most importantly, however, as my sales coach, Rob is a friend whose advice I trust.”

The ROI has been obvious, as Rob and his team’s training has enabled our company to produce bigger results while seeing tremendous improvements among our sales team. Listening to Game Face helped me move up faster within the organization. They’re more than consultants or trainers – they’re friends who’ve been where I am and truly understand the challenges sales leaders face.”

“We provide estate-saving asset protection for some of the most influential professionals in the medical field. It’s imperative that we know how to build trust and confidence with these clients. That’s why we use Game Face training. Rob and his team have been able to adeptly learn our business, expertly layer their principles and methods on top of our own, and create a synergy that our experienced and less-experienced team members respond very well to. Game Face isn’t a vendor, they’re a partner we use regularly to ensure continued success of our firm.”
Matthew McNeff
Partner & Executive Director, LegallyMine

“Game Face training has been vitally important to my skill development and confidence in sales. The content is fantastic as well as engaging. The training methodology goes through 7 modules of the sales cycle covering details such as word choice and phrase mechanics for effective scripts that are natural. A senior rep once told me, ‘You don’t even realize what you just sat through. I’ve been in a lot of sales trainings, but that was gold!’ This training will enhance the skills and abilities of any sales rep by quantum leaps.”
Hunter Goodall

“The material that was presented was completely relevant to my position. I have been able to apply some key concepts and can already see a difference in the receptiveness of potential clients.
