ABOUT US
Our Story
We bring performance mindset and strengths training out of the locker room and into the business and sales arena.
WHY WE EXIST
Performance expectations and the pressure to deliver results in sales and business are greater than ever—making mental toughness, resilience, and unleashing strengths through coaching essential for today’s sales pros, business teams, and leaders to thrive.
While companies spend tremendous time and dollars on sales skills training and technical education, studies show that a majority of client/customer interactions are “Scrap and Waste”.* Maybe you’ve also witnessed this first hand?
beForte saw this glaring gap and that’s why we develop and deliver systems that ensure your customer facing pros and leaders can deliver the highest-quality interaction in front of every customer.

HOW WE DO IT
We deliver structured cognitive training programs and coaching systems to meet 21st century business demands and help your teams transform “busy-ness” into productivity and real results. Why should pro-athletes be the only ones who benefit from psychological training and coaching?
Coaching is a HUGE component of performance. Don’t react to lagging indicators like monthly sales results to take action. Making real impact at the point where it means the most: coaching behaviors.
If you’re facing sales set-backs or dealing with organizational change, we have solutions that go beyond skill and technical training to deliver measurable performance results.

Values
Be There
Serve, respect, and value our partners and clients—opting for the right thing to do, even if it’s not the easiest path. This is experiential and not experimental.

Be Learners
We champion a growth mindset for every client and ourselves, asking the right questions, listening and acting with passion and energy. The learning never ends.
Be Real
Just as we coach our clients to challenge negative thoughts and focus on strengths, we also walk that talk, attributing successes and setbacks appropriately. What you see is what you get.
Be Excellent
We set high goals and standards for our team and the training we provide, upholding a high level of practical experience and technical expertise. Busy-ness does not lead to excellence.
