Sage Software Consulting and Sales Academies have just received two new class dates. Both of these five day courses are held at the Dallas Hilton DFW. Pricing is $2,295 for the week or if you stay at the hotel you pay only $1,295.

These courses are taught or supervised by either Ed Kless or Rob Johnson and are consistently among the most positively reviewed educational opportunities at Sage.

If you’ve ever attended either Rob or Ed’s classes at Sage you’ll know that there’s something very wrong with both of these guys…

They both do away with the corporate speak and tell it like it is in a way that is easy to understand. When you disagree with something they say during a session it   becomes part of the session with brainstorming encouraged to build upon the ideas that are being taught/discussed.

I’ve sat in on both their sessions (Full Confession: These are the ONLY two guys I travel to Insights every year to see). Each time I’ve felt completely open to challenge/discuss additional points of view about anything they teach.

You’ll walk away with a lot of materials and checklists that you can put into practice immediately. You also gain contacts from the other students in the class and the ability to compare notes and experiences.
