Representative Testimonials
It was a privilege to be taught by Dr. Arnold Tilden, one of the best teachers I have ever met. His course SST (Successful Selling to Type), based on the book he authored, is extremely interesting and useful both for Private Banking specialists and for all Sales professionals as well. I admire his breathtaking energy, background, and talent to involve all the students in the learning process.” – Dr. Alexey Aleksandrov, Head of Private Banking, BNP Paribas, Ukraine
“My 25 years of experience has taught me that I can typically expect the average sales training curriculum to provide only a modest lift in performance. The story was quite different with Dr. Arnold Tilden. His approach, teaching style, and relevant exercises kept everyone engaged in the learning process. We have now completed three full training programs (Consultative Selling, SST®: Successful Selling to Type and Negotiation skills) with more scheduled. The reality is that he has helped to change the selling culture here at AccuWeather. Our new approach has already created a number of high profile victories. Participants continue to comment on the significance of the training relative to their income and career growth.” – Vice President for Sales AccuWeather
“Roughly five years ago, I worked with Arnie (Dr. Tilden) and his partner Harry Koolen in a large project to advance leadership skills for nearly one hundred managers. The model we used was Adaptable Leadership based on the MBTI and FIRO. It was an excellent program that made a difference and stuck. In fact, I am still using those tools in order to optimise my behaviour to different people I have to work with along the different projects I am managing.” – Paul Gennart, BNP Paribas, Fortis Banks“It was absolutely worth my time.
