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.

Why beForte?

We believe that intentionally connecting to your strengths, being mindful of your thoughts, understanding your greater purpose, and have a great coach to guide you unleashes the full potential of each person and team.
Why mindset?

Why strengths?
Individuality, diversity, collaboration, results—all aspects of your business can be re-energized with a strengths approach. beForte can't give you more time in the day, but we can help you, your leaders and teams generate more with the time you have each day.
