      What Our Clients Are Saying

      Read exactly what some of our recent UpgradeSelling® participants have said about the JDA.media program and corresponding results.

      Thanks for helping me look like a stud this morning! The client couldn’t believe how many creative examples I had prepared to help guide us through the meeting. In fact, I walked away with another $500 a month in OTT spend just because they were in such a great mood after feeling led through the creative process.

      Seller

      Our JDA.media Senior Marketing Consultant’s presence brought a new light to this market that really took hold with not just our clients but with our staff. His creativity and conviction to the process made a tremendous impact that will most definitely be reflected in our bottom line. We’ve closed almost a half million so far (nearly $100k of which has been digital and multicast EACH) and expect to be near the 1 million mark by the end of next week … without this process we may have never seen this amount of new business being closed.

      Great leads today!!! While on the money call Aubrie was googling the leads and emailing as the call was happening. She received a response and scheduled a time out call for Dr. Energy Saver in the insulation category that Billie shared within less than a minute of sending the email. We have other inquiries and are creating a game out of the leads, but I thought this was a fun success to share!

      Local Sales Manager

      On behalf of the Sales Team, thank you so much for your Get Sought, Not Found webinar. My sales team LOVED it! Each of them have come to me with ideas and talking points that they are going to implement with their clients. We have already had several accounts email/call to tell us how much they got out of the webinar. Thank you again for putting on such an outstanding presentation.

      General Sales Manager

      In January I presented 9 JDA presentations, closed FIVE!! Two are future and lost two. Man, that’s some kind of close ratio. I’m usually at 33%, but thanks to JDA, in January my close ratio was 62%!!! I love JDA!!
