CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

What our customers say about our Superior Business Training Programs.

I’ve taken many of these courses in my 25 years of Business Development, but this one is far and away the best for several reasons. Rick, the instructor has kept us focused on the curriculum and how it applies to us in and bigger picture. Most importantly, the tasks assigned are real world examples of opportunities that we are pursuing, not just some made-up text book examples. Our choice to go with the Maher group has been a good one and I can’t wait until the next installment.

We followed the ‘Killer Presentations’ outline precisely and the result: We were reinstated on a program which generated millions of dollars over several years that were the feedstock of many other awards.

L-3 INTERSTATE ELECTRONICS CORP

Our team got through the development of an entire campaign in two days—this is a phenomenal program—let by a superb team. Thanks Jim and Sheilah. Best training I’ve had at DRS.

LEONARDO DRS TECHNOLOGIES

I had more “take-aways” from the two day session than I did from a two week Executive Marketing class I attended at UCLA. Why isn’t all of our training this good?
