About Me

“Jean Barr is the founder of Top Achievers Sales Training, a veteran Sales Trainer & Master Sales Coach championing productivity, performance and profit for Sales Professionals and Companies alike She has trained and coached 1000's of individuals and teams locally, nationally and internationally over the last 38 years. She brings simplicity to complexity and believes sales is not about HARD SELL. Its about empowering conversations that elicit emotional connection SO pivotal to closing the sale. Jean has led sales training workshops with a proven success rate of increasing sales by 30%+ for over 3 decades and knows that companies want the reassurance of working with a leading sales training company. Her key point of difference is focused on the "inner game" of sales. To improve productivity, performance and thereby profit in a business one needs to not only look at the linear hard skills, but also the non linear soft skills and interweave the two. Jean see's first hand the pain that comes with lack of performance in the sales arena. She believes sales does not have to be hard, it can be exhilarating fulfilling and rewarding if proficiency is built in key EQ area's. ”
