Dan Adams
started one of the world's first brand consultancies in 1979. Since then, he has built a prestigious list of enduring client relationships in the US and around the world. Using Dan's proprietary tools, "The Brand Funnel" and "Exceptional Marketing Organization" survey, he and his global team of seasoned professionals offer clients a fresh and practical understanding of the art and science of brand-building. His firm has developed special expertise in three interlocking competencies:"We love brands and the art of giving them competitive fire. We believe in discipline, creativity, hard work and at all times keeping it simple. We serve only clients who share our mission. The others would only waste their money and our time."
I've experienced first hand Dan's unique gifts of first, helping clients see past their initial insights to fully comprehend the deep essence of their organization and brand, and second, to practice the disciplined patience of holding back on implementing their insights until they've touched that essence.

Sales trainers recognize that a discouragingly high percentage of what participants learn in classroom training never really sinks in - or is quickly forgotten. Christensen/Roberts Solutions has pioneered the Performance Toolkit concept to eliminate that specific problem. Performance Toolkits are a breakthrough learning approach because they organize the tools and knowledge salespeople need within the structure of their daily tasks. The Performance Toolkit guides them step-by-step through successful execution, linking them directly to a full array of tools, best practices, tips, and references that will ensure the task is done effectively.
