What we do

Consulting Services

Public Speaking

…is the #1 fear that people have in today’s society. This seminar teaches you how to overcome that fear, and become comfortable speaking in front of a group. It also teaches you how to plan and organize an effective speech. It will change your life!!

Selling Skills

…are the “nuts and bolts” of a successful career in sales. And yet, most sales people have never been professionally trained in the art of selling. My seminar will teach you the 10 vital skills you need in order to be successful in sales. If you become proficient with these 10 skills, you will be ahead of 95% of the other sales people out there!!

Management Skills

…It is amazing how many people are promoted into management, and nobody teaches them how to manage people. This seminar gives you the skills you need to effectively interview and hire people, to organize a successful team and to train and motivate your people to perform at a high rate of excellence.

Interview Skills

To Applicants: I offer virtually fool-proof tips on how to set yourself apart from all the other applicants that you compete against. Training is accomplished one-on-one in a comfortable setting, and can be done in person, by telephone or Zoom call.

To Managers: I offer a proven system of effectively questioning an applicant in order to get to know him/her so that you both can assess whether or not he/she is a good fit for your job. Training is accomplished one-on-one in a comfortable setting, and can be done in person or by telephone.

Career Coach

I share skills, ideas and philosophies that will enable you to move forward in your career far beyond your current expectations. Why spend years learning the things I can teach you in a day? Quickly increase your chances for higher salaries and advancement. Training is accomplished one-on-one in a comfortable setting, and can be done in person, by telephone or Zoom call.

Company Training

I will do group presentations to companies in the areas of sales, management and public speaking. If you have sales people who have never been taught how to sell, I can do it. If you have just promoted a person(s) into a supervisory (management) role, but they do not know how to manage people, I can train them. If you have people with upward mobility but they are afraid to speak in front of a group, I can get them comfortable in a day. Training is accomplished in a group setting at a company location or a private business location.

What they say

Jim Crutchfield was my first manager in the Big Pharma business and the best. I was so lucky to start with Jim! They say, if you get a boss that is good and every day is like not working, you have the dream job. Those times were the best for sure. I learned so much from Jim and my sales exploded under his guidance. His management style was fine tuning an already experienced sales representative. His style of management was “if not broke, don’t fix it”. It was a great experience of success. I learned from Jim that “repetition is the mother of all learning.” I also learned that “brilliance is simplicity and consistency.” If you want to succeed and you are willing to work hard, this book will be your bible to victory. Thank you so much, Jim!
