My name is Paul DiModica and I am the founder of Value Forward.
Throughout my early sales career, I sold millions and millions of dollars of technology services, consulting programs, professional services, training, software applications, and development to businesses of all sizes. Based on my experiences, I published a program called How To Sell Technology®.
Due to my successes, I have held the position of Chief Revenue Officer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Strategic Development multiple times in technology companies with annual revenues from $2 million per year to $750 million per year. After holding the senior executive position of sales for years, I finally packaged my selling techniques into a detailed sales training program called How To Sell Technology®.
Founded in 2001, Value Forward launched with this signature course to became the first sales training company providing specialized training for technology and professional service sales teams. Since then, we grew to become one of the largest IT, software and professional services sales training firms in North America.
It does not matter if your business is a one-person startup or a mature technology company. If you sell software, SaaS, technology services, web site development, applications, or consulting on a daily basis, you are faced with an increasing number of competitors and barriers to sales that frustrate you as a quota-carrying technology major account manager or a small business owner trying to make payroll.
Even worse, if you are a technology sales manager supervising a direct sales force, the number of salespeople you are responsible for multiplies your frustration.
Being a salesperson like you, I have been exposed to the continuing market walls that have tried to prevent me from meeting my quota. Through this program, you will learn how to sell technology, services, and applications quickly, efficiently, and profitably through business impediments that stand in your way. My training program How To Sell Technology® has worked with small technology startups and mature established players.
Don't wait any longer. Enroll right NOW! This exclusive technology and professional services sales training program would normally cost you $10,000-$15,000 per day (that's what I charge for classroom training per day, plus expenses) and if you paid that much, it would still be well worth it.
