They exceeded our expectations, using their expertise to create a website that perfectly targets our market. The regular follow-up calls ensured everything was on track and aligned with our goals. Compared to others, KLA Group truly stands out with their dedication and superior service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch website development.

As we set up the new website, we added the capability for clients to make support requests directly from the site. We now receive a lot of client requests via the website. It has improved our client support process and client satisfaction and made the team more efficient. I didn’t think much about it when we did it, but what a significant process improvement it’s been.
IT Solutions Company
For 2 years I’d been trying to find a company that could help me in both sales and marketing. Other marketing companies I’ve worked with could only tell me what tactics to do, with no strategy behind it. None of them understood sales. I was so frustrated until I engaged with KLA Group! Thank you!

Thanks to our KLA Sales Coach, one rep closed $100K PO with recurring revenue of $75K annually. Now our whole team is shifting to how they sell.

KLA Group reshaped our sales leadership strategy, turning my initial doubts about our sales manager into solid trust with their top-notch coaching. Our sales have soared within a year, thanks to their knack for blending sales and marketing seamlessly. I’m immensely thankful for their guidance, I highly recommend KLA Group to any business looking to boost their sales results.
Paul Parozzi, PMR
Our sales team faced significant challenges due to the impact of COVID-19 on our sales approach. We initially reached out to KLA after receiving emails and attending seminars in 2021, seeking guidance and direction in adapting to the changing landscape. As we delved into KLA’s training, it became evident that their expertise extended beyond sales and into effective sales management, making them an invaluable resource for us.
Jim, Nortec
Before KLA Group, Nortec struggled to adapt in a changing market, lacking the marketing muscle needed to evolve beyond being a Microsoft partner. KLA Group not only addressed this but also exceeded expectations, driving substantial business growth, refreshing our website, and maintaining high SEO rankings. Their consistency and commitment have made this partnership invaluable, boosting our annual growth by approximately $500,000.
Jim Mayne, Deerwood Technologies
Engaging KLA Group a decade ago transformed our company. Seeking help with lead generation and marketing, we’ve since refined our sales and marketing processes with their expertise. The teams background in enterprise IT has provided the depth and knowledge we needed to expand our marketing processes, establish a sales funnel, and secure dedicated budgets for continued success.
Sales Training Company
We added this course to our new hire onboarding training, but then decided to include the current staff, too. Our whole team learned how to use lead generation activities differently to identify engaged contacts to call and set appointments. Our number of average monthly sales from lead generation MQLs increased 74%.
Manufacturing Company
We evaluated our sales team of 5 reps to determine what we needed to change to reduce the length of our sales process. As we worked with our coach, we realized we had salespeople in the wrong roles for their skills. We moved several around, then developed and implemented an action plan that has changed how we sell. Not only have we reduced the length of our sales process, but we’ve also increased our close ratio. This was an invaluable analysis we will complete each year.
Training & Consulting Organization
We had made referrals a KPI, but people were reluctant to ask. We trained our whole company on how to ask for referrals and increased them by more than 328% in just 7 weeks. Our new client acquisition is up 31% year over year. Training made the difference.
IT Managed Services Provider
After working with our outsourced sales manager, we think differently about sales. We were okay at selling before, but now our 3 reps are more disciplined. Our pre-sales engineers know what to expect on sales calls with them. We know our metrics. Customer sales are up. Sales is just smoother.
Manufacturing Company
We have been clients of KLA for 18 months and have had a great experience with the entire KLA Team. We initially used them for prospecting/sales training and ultimately hired them in a Sales Management role for my team of four. Our sales team is running 50% over growth projections versus our 15% goal!
IT Consulting Firm
I used to fly by the seat of my pants in sales. Walking through the process helped me understand it. We built our sales process, developed resources and trained all our staff. No leads fall out of our process and our close ratio has increased dramatically!
IT Managed Services Provider
This sales hiring consulting has been better than any other we’ve done. We assessed the candidates. We stepped through not just how to hire, but also how to onboard. We knew what skills we were hiring for and our new account manager knew what was expected of him. We created a plan to help him achieve those expectations and he’s performing after just two months.
Technology Services Provider
We had our marketer take this master series and saw our email response rates increase 13% using the campaign strategy she learned.

We needed to take a 180 in our marketing strategy and promote a completely new services. I had to figure out a new marketing plan.

At the end of the training I had my plan built. That was the most exciting part!

During this class, we not only learned how to ask for referrals easily, but also figured out how to make asking for referrals part of our regular account management process. We’ve seen our referral rate increase significantly.

Our team recently completed the referral training program and the impact has been transformative. The comprehensive approach, covering everyone from salespeople to executives, has empowered our staff to confidently and comfortably ask for referrals. The results speak for themselves with a consistent influx of high-quality leads, significantly enriching our pipeline.
Manufacturer’s Agent company
Warren closed a $100K PO with recurring sales revenue of $75K annually. Our outsourced sales manager coached him to move from focusing on price to qualifying more, selling value and uncovering risks not associated with us. He uncovered that the prospect was not comparing apples to apples, changed how the prospect was thinking, then won the deal. Now our whole team is shifting how they sell.
Invaluable Analysis

As we worked with our coach, we realized we had salespeople in the wrong roles for their skills. We moved several around then developed and implemented an action plan that has changed how we sell. Not only have we reduced the length of our sales process, we’ve also increased our close ratio. This was an invaluable analysis.

Prior to the assessment, our sales reps didn’t care about prospecting, or how their prospecting results were perceived by leadership or their peers. After assessing them in preparation for training, their eyes have been opened! Not only are they more receptive to training and coaching, they are seeking out assistance to improve their personal capabilities. They are now prospecting consistently and getting appointments.
North East SMB Company
The way KLA Group revamped our basic sales processes has been game-changing for us. Especially in these tough economic times, their strategic approach has given us some impressive results, both sales operationally and financially. Their hands-on, step-by-step advice has helped us expand the sales pipeline, increase revenue and make more informed staffing and ownership choices. We are now looking at acquiring other companies as part of our growth and our outsourced sales manager is assisting with the overall sales strategy to do that.

The sales hiring coaching has been a big game changer for us. We thought we had a very defined process for hiring, but then we did this coaching and found gaps we didn’t know we had. We’ve adopted the performance expectations and interview score card across all our hiring. Outstanding.
IT Managed Service Provider
This sales hiring coaching has been better than any other we’ve done. We stepped through not just how to hire top sales talent, but also how to onboard them.

Thank you so much for your help! With your guidance we hired a fearless salesperson who within a month uncovered new opportunities. I’ve made some bad hiring mistakes in the past. The process and sales assessment were key. Our coach was tough as nails and kept me on track and I liked that.
Software Outside Sales Rep
I started sales coaching because I wasn’t getting the results I needed to make my quota. I wanted one-on-one guidance so I could cover topics based on the opportunities I was working. With coaching, I’ve set 3 times more new appointments each month. I’m presenting proposals more effectively and closing sales.
IT Managed Service Provider
I was so frustrated when I started coaching. We had marketing campaigns running, but our sales process was broken, our marketing leads kept disappearing, and we had bad callers. Until KLA Group, I couldn’t find a company that understood both sales and marketing. Now we’re integrating our sales and lead generation process, hiring the right people, and selling. Sales and marketing are finally working together.
Owner of Manufacturing Company
The KLA Group transformed our sales new hire’s onboarding experience, instilling a fearless approach that propelled a remarkable 25% response rate from their proactive outreach.

In the midst of COVID, our outside sales rep was struggling to reach prospects. We knew times were tough. We took a shot and had him take the Sales Prospecting for Profits cold call training. He worked one on one with a coach and immediately changed the industry he was targeting. He refined his cold call messaging and objection handling techniques and mastered the follow-up strategy. His outlook on prospecting did a 180-degree turn. He started setting new meetings, in spite of the tough time, and is setting even more now.
Unified Communications Company
The day after our first class I got a reply from a person who’d been ignoring my emails for months. Then I set an appointment with a contact I never thought I’d reach!
Office Technology & Unified Communications Company
We ran a half-day cold call blitz after the Sales Prospecting for Profits training. Our 6 salespeople made 192 cold calls, had valuable conversations with 53 new prospects, and closed 9 first-time appointments. That’s a 17% cold call conversation-to-appointment close ratio. Before the training, our sales reps would rarely cold call. Now it’s part of their everyday activities because they see the appointment-setting results they get.
Telecommunications Research and Development Company
Following the How to Cold Call training, the momentum and vigor within our team have notably amplified. The structured guidance from the program has paved the way for more consistent outreach, laser-focused on the right activities, most promising accounts, and critical contacts. From our diligent team of 4 reps, we’re now navigating a commendable 23 opportunities in our pipeline, gearing up for successful closures. This transformation underscores the power and efficacy of the right training.
Pavement and Bridge Preservation Company
At our recent sales meeting, Alex announced he’d leveraged the training to secure a meeting he’d been chasing for 3 years! It’s evident the training made a significant difference for him.
Telecommunications Research and Development Company
Just yesterday, our rep sent out 65 emails and is already receiving responses. There’s been a noticeable boost in confidence, leading to proactive prospecting. Email has become a powerful tool for initiation and effective follow-up for him. Watching his growth has been impressive!

MSP Marketing Associate
My role in our organization moved from client facing to prospect development. Although I understood the basics of marketing, I needed help creating a cohesive marketing plan that I had time to implement. My coach helped me build processes and focus on the things that got results. Now we have a strategy that resonates with decision makers in our service area
IT Managed Service Provider
What do I like about KLA Group’s content development services? I love that I don’t have to do it. KLA knows our branding and voice. They articulate the key problems our clients and prospects are dealing with. I don’t have to worry about writing it or when it gets posted or sent.
IT Services Business Owner
For many years, word of mouth and basic sales efforts were enough to keep our pipeline full. I always thought marketing strategy was a “nice to have.” My KLA coach helped me put a robust strategy in place, do it effectively, and plan an MQL follow-up approach my team could handle.

With your coaching we finally have a marketing plan to break into two new states. We’ve launched our first campaigns, have two webinars planned, set up paid ads, and our sales rep is following up on marketing qualified leads. Success!

When we partnered with KLA Group for a messaging project, we figured we’d need to do about 40% of the work on it. Content is hard to get right, we’ve had to make changes with other marketing partners. Instead, the team we worked with from KLA Group delivered messaging we can take and completely use without editing.
IT Value Added Reseller
We engaged KLA to help us define our sales process. As we wrapped it up, we knew we needed to train the sales reps or they wouldn’t adopt it. Our trainer used the new sales process and tools as part of our prospecting cold call training and consultative selling training. Our team has been using the sales process successfully since then.
IT Managed Service Provider
Our team needed extra role play to learn the consultative selling approach. They were practicing in class and in sales calls, but I could see they weren’t quite getting it. Our KLA trainer worked with us to add even more. It worked so well that we have continued the training as monthly role play sessions with a special focus. Even our system engineers are closing sales now!
