Having worked with Krista on local government grant funded projects, I found her work to be both professional and detail oriented. She researched all aspects prior to presentation and assistance. She followed through each process from the beginning to the end. She is very knowledgeable in many areas and engages all available resources to see each project come to fruition.

After years of various in-house selling and marketing experience, I made the jump into outside sales. I had never done outside sales and had not clue one on how to do a thing. Needless to say, the struggle was real. Then, in about my sixth month of selling, our state professional association brought Derron Steenbergen to town, and everything changed for me. Although I was such a green rookie, I was able to pick up a couple of pointers that literally set me on a trajectory that could otherwise never have happened. But that's not all. Recently, in my 4th year of sales, our state association brought Derron back again. And guess what? Once again, I learned things that I've been able to put into practical everyday use and have become an even more effective sales person. I try to watch the 'Ten Minute Trainer' as often as I can; there is always something practical and good to take away from literally every episode. I consider Derron to be the Joel Osteen of sales training: He's able to provide core teaching of essential principles in a very relatable and easy to understand way. And best of all, Derron is for real. No fake it till you make it stuff. He tells it like it is; and helps you remember how to practically overcome even the toughest situations and questions. I highly recommend Derron Steenbergen as a sales trainer for anything you are considering putting together for your team.
