Candace Carson
SVP OF CLIENT PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
I highly recommend working with Jeff in any capacity for a number of reasons. It has been my privilege to be the recipient of both Jeff's mentorship & executive coaching. I also am privileged to be his Director of Client Services. In a nutshell, I have learned a lot from Jeff professionally and in other regards. What struck me about Jeff when I originally came into contact with him was his warm, yet professional style of interacting. We all encounter people in business settings, who seem to be a bit awkward when it comes to balancing professionalism w/ authentic camaraderie. Jeff has such an integral style of interacting, that it would make the most stoic person comfortable. His approach in communication is very easygoing, yet professionally direct and always above board.
I was also struck by Jeff's devotion to his family. As a woman executive, that made me feel very comfortable. Jeff has such integrity about his actions, & interactions. It makes me feel very comfortable looking up to him as both my executive coach, mentor, and supervisor. Last but not least, Jeff's knowledge base, professional creative capacity, and skill set speak for themselves, especially within the context of the banking industry. He has created and continues to create programs that bring ease and understanding to the clients that utilize and implement them.
Keith Wharton
Manager - Mortgage/Trainer & Content Developer / LMS Administrator / Adult Learning Facilitator / Theatre Artist
As a facilitator, manager, friend, and now writer - Jeff is one of the most motivating people, manager, friends, and mentors that I am privileged and honored to have as part of my life. His books "Sales Rockstar" and "Treat 'Em Like a Rockstar" go to the essence of what a company and a person is looking for in customer service and sales excellence. The "Rockstar" analogy is spot-on and would be helpful within any profession to adopt Jeff's methodology.

Stephanie Sorrentino

I have been through several corporate training seminars and courses throughout my career. Typically when you hear corporate training as a sales representative you think of a long course where nothing pertains to your specific business and you learn some effective skills. With Jeff Krantz the training is tailored to your business and is primarily hands on. It allow the sales representatives to reflect on areas in which they need to improve and he also enables programs to help generate business. Along with a superior training program Jeff is very approachable and open to new ideas on concepts.

Anthony Perrone
Consulting Practice Director | Fractional CIO | Business Transformation Expert | Digital Strategy/Sustainability Zealot
I was recently privileged to participate in a Sales Training workshop at ProNexus' Annual Meeting. The session was facilitated by Jeff, who had previously worked with ProNexus shortly after it was launched over three years ago. While I generally enjoy participating in this sort of thing, I admittedly approached this session with a bit of skepticism. Over my 30+ year career I have participated in about a dozen of most of the leading sales training programs out there, designed to help boost professional services and other complex sales. What more was I possibly going to learn at yet another one?
My concerns were ungrounded. I came away delighted with the session, and motivated to take immediate action on take-aways provided by Jeff. Jeff is an extremely likeable and charismatic presenter and facilitator. Moreover, his pace is lively and energetic. He neither dwells on theory or brow beats. His approach makes intuitive sense, and belies his deft understanding of human psychology: that of the buyer AND the seller! I did not expect to have any major catharsis come out of this training or add anything material to my body of knowledge. While Jeff and his workshop fulfilled those expectations, it served, nonetheless to ignite a fire in me that will no doubt enrich my sales performance. Its all in the execution anyway, right?
Jeff, thank you for a lively and effective workshop. Your efforts helped further gel our management team, and provided us with a common language through which we can be more effective at collaborating on our business development efforts. I look forward to working with you in the future.

When a trainer can electrify a room with their dynamic presence and incisive content, they can empower and enable sales teams to believe and shoot for the stars. I was lucky enough to see Jeff in action through various HSBC training platforms and the consensus among the different groups were that he was THE BEST. Top producers would change their schedules just to be in Jeff's class because they know that he is the only one who can add-value no matter what seniority they were. I highly recommend any team that is serious about becoming top of their class to consult with Jeff because in the past 6 years, he has been the inspiring voice to all HSBC teams.

Jeff Krantz is incredibly high-skilled as a trainer and presenter, and he brings unique talents in the art of persuasion and motivation into his seminars.

A special gift that I particularly enjoyed whenever I found myself in one of Jeff's training sessions, is his perfectly balanced use of multimedia to build enthusiasm and greater understanding in the classroom.
I have been very honored to work with Jeff during my entire career at HSBC Bank USA, N.A,. Several years ago, when my position there was eliminated during an H.R. reorganization, Jeff went to bat for me and did everything one could possibly do to help me eventually rejoin the Bank in another department, performing a similar role as an instructional designer and developer. I will be forever grateful for Jeff's kindness, authenticity and personal friendship!

Jeff is an incredible trainer. He facilitates the learning process by enabling people to learn. Through questioning and interaction within the "student" group, he ensures that the training information is heard AND understood. Jeff welcomes every question and those questions that are temporarily parked are answered within 24 hours, if not same day. His easy-going manner and communication style set every student at ease and open to learn the material. He is available to every student on a one-on-one basis for questions after the class or for continued discussion about a particular point of interest to the student.
I consider Jeff to be an excellent trainer.
