Who We Are
The Center for Sales Strategy helps B2B companies improve revenue growth and reduce sales costs.
Driven by understanding each company’s unique needs, we improve sales, marketing, employee engagement, and executive development with our portfolio of brands which includes The Center for Sales Strategy, LeadG2, Up Your Culture, and Robertson Lowstuter.
As companies have different needs at different times, this holistic approach has proven to be a winning formula for revenue performance.
"CSS has a proven track record of identifying talents and potential of future sales consultants and sales leaders. While I appreciate the assessment and rating for selection, I value the coaching conversations with the CSS Talent Analysts. Each has documented success in media sales and management which allows them to walk in our shoes as we analyze our team members. "
"We've worked with LeadG2 since 2015 and will continue working with them...no end in sight. Not only are they positive, inspiring, responsive and fun to work with, they have transformed our business. We consider them partners and trusted advisors. They help us with our complete inbound marketing strategy from beginning to end, and since starting, we have tracked and attributed well over a million dollars in new revenue and have blown past all our key success metrics. We recommend LeadG2 to anyone... except our competition. "
"The Up Your Culture program was pretty much perfect and aligned with our needs. All the feedback from our leaders has been wonderful. I wish I had this type of structure when I led a market. I did it on my own and didn’t have a road map. Being given a roadmap but being able to customize it to the needs of each market, like Up Your Culture does, is extremely valuable. "
