Our Story

Welcome to Summit Learning Solutions. With over 20 years of successful organizational consulting and training experience, we have discovered many ways to equip businesses for success. During that time, we helped over one hundred clients build better sales forces and only missed our target once. Although we used that failure as a learning experience and motivation to ensure it will never happen again, we have been truly honored to have built meaningful and long-lasting relationships with each of our clients. That, after all, is one of the core elements of our company, and we want to share that with you as well.

Originally, our target market included companies in the $25-100 million revenue range. As our success became known throughout the communities we served, we adapted the same effective methodologies to coach smaller businesses. To best serve our clients, we created a second company to provide e-learning courses that allowed them to train, learn, and grow without us present. Our variety of training methods gave us the ability to develop a unique growth plan for any business, thereby creating an even closer relationship with those we served. As our customers realized the benefits of this new training, they asked us to offer additional advanced coaching. We couldn’t say no. Building others up was our passion from the beginning, and remains our passion to this day.

As we grew, it became apparent that our original name and branding barely scratched the surface of all that we had begun to provide our clients. The time was right to fuse our proven consulting and training methods with innovative coaching and organizational development services under one banner. That was the birth of Summit Learning Solutions. Summit is not just a company to us—it’s an extension of our philosophies, our methods, and our team. Our values are apparent in every service and product, and in every Guide who will connect with you.

What we love about Summit is that it provides a solution for businesses in any stage of growth. With our courses, our consulting, and our learning community, you will have all the tools you need to reach your Summit. Our core philosophy is that there is no summit that cannot be reached if you combine proven methodologies and effective technology with the best and brightest people. If this is a philosophy you’d like to share with us, or learn more about, click below to be connected with one of our Guides today.

We’re looking forward to helping you reach your Summit.

His guidance, leadership, and friendship are PRICELESS

He has mentored me to achieve amazing professional goals without losing sight of the most important part of my life as a wife and mother. His guidance, leadership, and friendship are PRICELESS!!

Brian is a Full Service Mentor

Over the years, Brian has not only mentored the sales team, but also our Department Managers throughout the corporation developing personal goals, department goals, leadership skills, and execution.

A Great Motivator

He has been a great motivator for me, my team, and our organization’s management team. Outside of the impressive sales increase, there is an abundance of projects and initiatives that Brian has successfully led I would like to highlight some of them that ultimately changed my life both professionally and personally.

Learned How to Grow Territory

During the time I work with Brian, he challenged me, showed me how to sell and how to win in almost any circumstance. Brian helped me grow my sales territory (Chicago) from nothing to a $1,000,000+ book of business.

The Summit Solutions is not a one-fits-all process

Is the Summit Solutions a one-fits-all process that will lead to selling more? No, there are plenty of national programs with regional support that will sell you on that. I will tell you from my experience, they are outdated, not personalized, and don’t work. They typically also only focus on the sales department. Brian’s method is to work with the whole organization, while stressing the importance of creating a company culture that people want to be a part of.

As the VP Sales Manager, I was initially skeptical

As the VP Sales Manager, I was initially skeptical and guarded as to why we had to bring in an outside sales expert. I perceived this as an insult to my abilities and the performance of our team. Today I can honestly say that the association, teachings, and concepts Brian presented were the BEST thing to happen to our Company, myself, and our team.

When we started with Summit Learning Solutions we had 62 employees

When we started with Summit Learning Solutions we had 62 employees mostly serving the state of Michigan. Now, we have nearly 200 employees serving 17 states; and we’re still growing consistently. Moreover, when we started with Summit we sold about 3-5 Million a year in new business; now we sell 13 Million a year in new business.

They sourced and hired our first-ever sales team

They sourced and hired our first-ever sales team and created the sales and marketing plan to start the process. They designed our sales team’s compensation plans, trained them on appropriate sales methodology, and lead our overall strategy. Candidly, we thought they were way too optimistic in their sales projections. It turns out they undersold the possibilities. The program was very successful, very fast.

We are a better, healthier, and the more performance-driven company

We are a better, healthier, and the more performance-driven company now thanks to Brian’s training and support. Most importantly, it’s more profitable.
