Some Words from Our Friends
We consider ourselves beyond lucky to receive such kind thoughts from some of our amazing clients and staff, both past and present.
I have had tremendous confidence in my career because my company believes 100% in CSS principles. As a seller by focusing on the customer. As a manager by focusing on a sellers’ top talent themes and helping them perform at high levels. There were no shortcuts to success. Only the right way and that was the CSS way.I would have had limited success in my profession without CSS but not near to the extent I have experienced. I am so thankful that almost all my career was bathed in and driven by the CSS culture. Thank you and Congratulations CSS! Here’s to 40 more years.
I truly can’t imagine what my career would be like without the training and coaching provided by the Center for Sales Strategy! I remember going to my first TFM experience when I became a sales manager; I walked away with a binder bigger than my suitcase and a heart on fire to coach people the right way - based on their innate strengths. Years later, CSS and its incredible staff are still my go to resource as a sales leader. Cheers to 40 years!
If I had a magic wand to create a company that was a perfect fit for me, CSS would appear. The collaboration and teamwork across all departments is incredible. We lift each other up, which leads to our amazing culture. I feel like CSS is an extension of my family. I care deeply for everyone here and know they feel the same about me.
Congrats on the 40th. I've been privileged to work with the team through three different ownership groups and markets and some of my dearest friendships started via CSS. My DNA leads me to focus on working with my team and customers daily the "CSS way." Here's to Steve and Jim and the leadership today. I know Steve is still straightening flip chart pages from above to this day.
To put it simply, working at CSS feels like home.

IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME
When I attended "Talent Focused Management", it was a bit of an epiphany for me. I instinctively knew that my job was to understand my team's strengths and find ways to help them succeed, but TFM gave me the tools to actually do it! I lean on those lessons all these years later. Oh, and Steve Marx gave my family a ride in his speedboat across Tampa Bay at a rate of speed that scared the heck out of us. My kids still nervously laugh about that memory too! Thanks for all your great work and insights, CSS.
I learned so much from Jim Prain, Keith Samuels, Sophie Frey and Jim Hopes
