Client Testimonials

Dr. David and his people are truly change agents. They manage our sales, and it works. We get direction, structure, call report data, and lots of training. The beauty is that, like other companies we need management, but not being very large we cannot afford to lay out huge dollars on a manager who may or may not help us.

We don’t need a fulltime person sitting next to the coffee pot at the company expense, but we do need regular management and we get it. His model with phone, email, webonars, and periodic in-person assistance is really first-rate.

He is extremely friendly, and yet there are no games. He is a quick study and ‘gets it.’ He came to grips with our industry and made certain he understood. His testing analysis was spot on. From there he grasped our problems and immediately had ideas that helped.

We have to be good on the phone and in person, and he gave us direction. More than that, he mapped a sales direction for us, an over-all plan. It’s an action, what-is-the-next step plan. And Dr. David is one dynamite motivator.

And Dr. David takes a personal interest in his clients. He wants them to get the results they want and he is accessible if I or another salesperson has any questions. He is a partner in our success.”

Dr. David can turn things around and head them in a positive direction. I had a management crisis in one of our divisions, and Dr. David's company stepped right in, assessed the situation, and helped us solve it. It was done hands-on—not just with ideas. And it was done affordably. The division immediately stabilized, and sales spiked upward. And the people really liked Dr. David's style.

Often outside consulting groups are too generic or move too slowly. No time was wasted and Sales Disruption made sure its services were relevant to our industry. Dr. David was right on target.

Sales Disruption doesn't over-sell, trying to get you to buy something you don't need. They will find where it hurts and go to work. They have the solutions. Everything is thorough and solid. They offer really accurate sales personnel assessments, excellent training, and you get a insightful report and direction.

One of the real pluses of Dr. David's company is that it can manage sales in a creative fashion. They customize whatever works for you and you get really professional sales management at a fraction of the price you pay for someone on the inside who may not be all that effective anyway. It's all step-by-step with the use of email, phone, even webonars so that you don't have to have nearly as much in person contact and still really get what you need.

I would recommend, without hesitation, Sales Disruption's sales management services to any company in an out-of-control situation or simply in need of more sales.”

I go back more than 10 years with Dr. David Claerbaut. I met him on a plane and we hit if off right away personally and from there we talked business. By the time we got off the plane I knew we would be working together and we have ever since.

What I like best about his company is its unique approach and training in the sales mindset. It's way beyond just rah-rah motivation. When you work with people from an engineering background it can't be fluff. It had better grab them, because they tend to be a bit skeptical.

I have used Dr. David over and over again and their people never miss the target. When they present, or work 1-to-1, there is an immediate connection and the feedback from our people is excellent. You get genuine-how-to-ideas and direction.

If you've got questions, Dr. David's people have answers. No arrogance or posturing, just really good stuff. And it's hands-on. Sales Disruption can come and do things in your operation, not just speak or recommend from on high. I love that flexibility.”

I met Dr. Claerbaut in New York City and told him of our problems. We had the usual family-owned business issues as well as a need for solid input on sales, including compensation. Dr. Claerbaut is just great in dealing with family businesses. Often family issues get played out in the business and he really helped iron that stuff out.

His company truly has a lock on sales. Let me use compensation as an example. He knew us and our industry; he carefully heard out our various points of view; he researched the industry models nationally and in our area; and laid out a sound compensation system, one that works for us.

What I like is that he understood that there are no 1-size-fits-all solutions in sales. Every company is different, and most certainly every family in a family-owned company is unique. Sales Disruption really makes sure that you get the solutions you want, ones that will fit your unique situation.

Sales Disruption is really ideal for small and mid-size companies. Its people are high energy, yet very personable, and very willing to understand things in detail. No time is wasted, but things are done thoroughly. Often once consultants file their report its "goodbye." With us, Dr. David stayed involved and continued to be accessible. We got really first-rate service. We are still friends today.”

I have worked with Dr. David for 3 years and I trust him implicitly. We have an international business that necessitates the employment of off-site sales and service people. This poses a real challenge in accountability, but Dr. David has good experience in this area and has helped us build managerial systems.

Dr. David is a difference-maker. His specialty may be sales, but to do a good job there, you have to grasp the over-all nature of the company. You have to see how sales fits into the big picture.

Dr. David not only understands the role of sales, he understands the workings of our entire company so he has become a confidante, a trusted advisor to me and other key people in our operation. We run a lot of things by him. He sees the larger picture, is thoughtful and thorough, and offers excellent suggestions.

Another important matter is that he looks ahead. It is so easy to get lost in the here-and-now in business that you just don't give the future enough attention. Dr. David is always watching for what is coming our way and getting us ready to deal with issues before they become crises.”

You do not need a fulltime sales manager if you have Dr. David's people on your side. For 10 years, Dr. David helped manage our sales force, a $20 million company. During that time, Dr. David conducted regular sales meetings and 1-to-1 coaching times, and was in contact on phone and by email constantly. I am a veteran salesman and I learned a great deal from him.

Dr. David is one great coach. If you really want to learn how to sell—from getting in to closing the sale—he can teach you to do it. He will coach you to a higher level of performance, and he brings it on with enthusiasm. No problems are avoided, no questions are ducked. It's real world stuff, and it works.

Dr. David is second to none in working at attitude and motivation—mindset. Once that's in place he has the actual techniques ready for you to put into use. If you use his stuff, really apply it you are going to see your sales jump.”

For ten years, I had the good fortune to benefit from the services of Dr. David Claerbaut, a superb Executive Business Consultant.

Dr. Claerbaut is very flexible in his approach and comfortably adjusted to my management style. He was valuable as an advisor and "sounding board" regarding all areas of my business, and extremely so in the area of Sales.

As the Owner / President of a business in the highly competitive New York City financial and corporate printing industry, he was impressive in his understanding of my entire operation and quickly had insight into the subtleties of departmental interaction. Most importantly, Dr. Claerbaut knew a great deal about my personnel and became almost indispensable in helping me with short and long-range personnel decisions.

In a business so driven by direct sales, he proved invaluable in that area. Dr. Claerbaut became my "right hand" in the hiring, development and continued training my entire Sales Group. He was vital in guiding each Salesperson in honing their skills and effectiveness; a teacher/mentor. As a confidante to both myself and the entire Sales Group, Dr. Claerbaut was instrumental helping me to have a dynamic, disciplined, growth-oriented Sales Group producing high-level results. Also an accomplished writer, Dr. Claerbaut generously contributed his skills in helping to compose hiring and promotional material. We considered him part of our company.

Dr. Claerbaut is uniquely gifted in his general business knowledge, his direct experience and knowledge of Sales Management, his abilities to understand the essence of what a business owner or manager wants to accomplish and then, to communicate, motivate, empower and inspire with complete commitment.

I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Dr.David Claerbaut as an Executive Business Consultant who will add an invaluable dimension to your business and your personal effectiveness un running it.”

No one teaches sales like Dr. David. No one. Beginning with his Internal Mindset and right on through practical ways of selling on the phone and in-person, he is as good as it gets.

Even though my expertise is in sales, I have used Dr. David over and over in a variety of different ways. In fact, I have been in charge of a number of companies and whenever I face a sales challenge that I do not have time to handle, I have turned to him and he has performed like a champion.

He is a very quick study—in-person, on the phone, or through email. He then moves from diagnosis to prescription. He knows what to do. From there, things happen.

He has helped train sales managers, develop salespeople, work compensation packages, and even done hands-on management for me. He is also a great advisor and personal business confidante. You can bounce your ideas off him and he will give you a thoughtful response, all the while keeping your confidence.

If you have sales headaches, Dr. David has the cure.”
