“I participated in MTSU’s Master Selling Executive Course that Thom taught and it was an excellent investment of my time. He uses an engaging teaching method that allows for questions to be asked throughout AND ensures everyone understands the particular takeaways before moving on. Since this course took place in the evenings, Thom also injects some humor into the teachings, which I welcome. I look forward to my next course taught by him!”

“I am a senior territory account manager for the East Coast accounts with Philips North America. I would have loved to complete this recommendation once the class was over, however I have had a busier schedule since applying the skills learned in his course. my clients and I connect on a different more meaningful level given the way I know approach my call with them. I have been able to keep a full schedule and have increased the growth in the territory over the past few weeks. To put it plainly, this Man, this course will have you ready to reengage and will help you to be efficient with how you communicate. this class has been very beneficial to me and I am extremely pleased to have been a student. will be taking more classes with this gentleman very soon! Thank you Thom!”

“I met Thom as an instructor for the Certificate of Professional Selling for Executives. I came in with no formal sales training, and since the completion of the certificate I feel completely transformed. The greatest value Thom gives each student is confidence. I feel prepared to connect with other professionals, overcome tough objections, and navigate sales conversations with ease. I would highly recommend the certification program led by Thom Coats.”
