Raving reviews

"The BOOM! Sales training was positive and confronting! Confronting in a good way, which helped the team to realise traits they have been using in their style that may not be the best.

It helped them to self-reflect and readjust with a better understanding of the sales process. The personality styles module was great for the team!

I was able to put Trent’s explanations and lessons into the context of our customers’ drivers and attach them to the team's style and sales process.

It was very educational and eye-opening and exceeded expectations. The team are still pumped from it!“ 

- Dave Newton, Managing Director, Coastal Patios 

"We at Construction Equipment Australia discovered Trent and liked what we saw, his promotional videos in the area of sales are very inspirational and are a true reflection of his presentation style in person.

We subsequently contracted Trent to present some nonsales 101 sales philosophies to our internal and dealer sales team and I am sure every attendee came away with something to add to their sales skills tool kit bag.

One of the learnings was that we are just as important as our customers. Would highly recommend Trent to any company that is looking for motivation and selling skills that are somewhat off the wall and are presented in an immersive, inclusive, and above all a fun environment."

"We have been working with Trent and Boom for over 12 months. We thought we were doing things pretty well but once we were introduced to Trent, we realized that we needed to go much deeper to realize our own and our customer's potential.

He certainly delivers his message with passion and makes each person he works with feel important.

There's no doubt the people within our business have improved through Trent's involvement and we are striving to improve further as we implement some of Trent's ideas. He remains an active part as we continue working together.

If you are looking to upskill and challenge how your staff and customers interact then you should definitely be speaking with Trent."

"I have an RER who always asks for my feedback after every course, conference, or workshop I attend and generally I advise him it was a waste of time.

On Friday when he asked, I told him it was extremely effective. I told him that Trent was the first facilitator who kept everyone engaged despite the fact most of us had major issues with deals going on in the background and that a lot of the training he delivered was fresh and insightful.

I strongly advised him to look into it for his branches and gave him my copy of Outlaw to read up on.

It is not my style to come back and recommend courses but I will be doing so to anyone who will listen to me. The feedback from my peers was much the same as mine"

- Kim Gibbons, Senior Consultant, Business Development, NAB

“During my sales career, I’ve been very fortunate to have received sales training from all different trainers.

However, the most effective training I have ever received is from Trent at BOOM! Sales. His knowledge of the whole sales process is second to none.

His enthusiasm in the delivery of his material will keep you interested, involved, and asking for more.

Whether you’re an employee wanting to master the art of sales, or an employer wanting to build an A-Grade sales team, I highly recommend Trent and the team at BOOM! Sales!"

- Rom Revita, Retention Manager, Lincoln Indicators

"I am delighted to recommend Trent's first book The Naked Salesman. It is a refreshingly honest and practical approach to sales and is written in a way that is uncomplicated and entertaining.

Whether you have 1 or 20 years in business this book demonstrates that if you have passion and a genuine interest in improving the lives of your clients you stand out.

This book stands out too as it bares all and reinforces that honesty is the unique and invaluable tool of today's best salespeople."

"Besides being a joy to work with, Trent is a great person to work with who is able to present innovative and creative ideas/concepts and communicate the benefit of these.

He has successfully trained for our company which has resulted in increased value.

Though he was an asset to our Sales efforts, Trent was also extraordinarily helpful in making suggestions to improve operations in the future.

In addition to facilitating effective training modules for sales representatives, Trent inspired and motivated these employees.

I highly recommend Trent for employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset." "

- Ken Stoilas, Head of Org Development & Learning, Wise Employment

"Trent attended our business unit conference recently and his presentation on sales and relationships was fantastic.

He gave us plenty of tools and thought-provoking things to take away. If you're looking for energy and passion, and actual output, I would recommend using Trent and the Boom sales team."

- Michael Jackson, GM Strategic Development, Downer Group

"We have been working with Trent and BOOM! for a few years now. The formal activity and methodology that Trent clearly articulated and has built on has been the Empathy Sales Process.

I have personally benefited from these activities as it allows me to have a theoretical approach to the subject of being an exceptional Sales Executive....which at times can be non-defined and subjective.

Trent is always interested in what you do, how you do it, and what makes you successful, he is always looking to learn and improve his own craft....keep up the great work Trent." 

- Mark Airo-Farulla, Sales Manager, ABCorp

"APPA is the peak body for brand merchandise professionals in Australasia. Our major event Convex is attended by 1400 delegates each year in August. Our educational sessions lacked punch and relevance in recent years so this year we put considerable effort into finding engaging speakers.

Trent's presentation to our delegates this year has changed the way people look at our education. His session was punchy, fun, relevant to our industry, and highly valued by our members.

I'd recommend Trent's sales presentation to any organization looking to invigorate their team and tune into modern sales techniques."

- Anthony Brown, Board Director, APPA

"Our company engaged Trent to present at our annual sales conference in February 2011. The objective over the allocated 4 hours was to align, motivate, and enhance the knowledge and skills of our sales team.

The session was interactive and informative. The feedback from the team was positive and as a result, we decided to engage Trent to conduct sales training across Australia and New Zealand.

Trent invests a great deal of time in understanding the business to ensure the program hits the mark. His facilitation style is enjoyable and the practical concepts allow for immediate application. I recommend Trent as a professional and engaging sales trainer/facilitator."

- Helen Christo, HR Director, ABnote Australasia

“Trent is one powerhouse of energy with the ability to forge relationships and engage his audience. I have personally worked with Trent and have observed the positive outcomes of change management and an uplift in business growth within the finance industry.

In addition, Trent has demonstrated success within multiple industries with the BOOM sales strategy. I have enjoyed working on projects with Trent and is a very motivational speaker."

- Giselle Jesse, People Leader & Team Coach, Optus

"Outlaw is a sales and coaching book without the sales hype like other books in its genre. It's to the point and honest in a way that will challenge the way you not only act towards your customers but also your peers and associates.

It has made me revisit my own strategies and question some of my own redundant beliefs to great success. A must-read for any aspiring salesperson or people leader."

- Dean Moon, Business Protection Specialist, NAB

"Trent is someone passionate about delivering outcomes. Not just for the businesses he works with, but also for the customers we serve.

"If you are a mid-size private company or a driven department head in a larger organization who is prepared to improve, just go BOOM!

Trent and his team revolutionized our thinking and helped us understand what we thought we knew and made us realize that we didn’t know what we should have. We have been able to revitalize what was a pretty staid sales team with ideas, concepts, and accountability.

Our management improved and so did our sales team, and the outcomes were the by-product of this. Happy to recommend but be prepared to look into yourself first and foremost as this is not a tick-and-flick exercise!"

- Richard Layton, Managing Director, Fromm Packaging Australia

"Trent is a phenomenon in the area of Sales Performance from every dimension.

Be it through the "Outlaw" approach, which is a revolutionary model for establishing a successful operating rhythm for sales excellence.

Be it through the consulting capability of "Boom!" to tailor and deliver relevant and effective solutions specific to your business strategies and environments.

Trent is a world-class facilitator, with an approach to learning that engages, challenges, and "dares" the participant to better themselves and their results, no matter how much of an expert they are already are."

- Glen Clinch, Sales Performance Manager, NAB

"Trent has now presented to my NSW/ACT team on 2 occasions. Trent's sales sessions are engaging, which in turn generates ideas and has the sales team focus for the day, which is rare in any training/education session.

Trent provides the why, the what, and the how and ensures the audience participates and learns. Each time my team has had the privilege of spending time with Trent, they are motivated and fired up to outperform. They always take away learning and implement it.

Trent is an absolute pleasure to work with and I would thoroughly recommend Trent to assist with the motivation of any sales force or business." 

- Karen Carter, Head of Small Business, ANZ Bank

"PETstock had the pleasure of BOOM Sales delivering at our National Conference in sunny Port Douglas! Proud of our Culture at PETstock, Trent invested a lot of time getting to know our business, undertaking a number of phone interviews, and a workshop with our successful store salespeople across Aus and NZ.

He challenges people to step out of their comfort zone, celebrating an individual’s personality and quirks.

Trent’s experience, knowledge, passion, and energy make him a world-class facilitator and I would not hesitate recommending Trent and BOOM Sales to any organization."

- Jodie Miles, National Training Manager, PETstock

"This letter is intended as a testimonial for the work that Trent Leyshan of BOOM! Sales has been conducted for the National Australia Bank since May 2006.

Trent has been working with our ‘specialist’ leadership groups, sharing his experience in leadership as part of our organizational leadership program L.E.A.D.

To date, feedback on Trent’s involvement with the program has highlighted him as an inspirational and motivating consultant whose experience is a key input to developing the capability and skills of our ‘specialist’ leaders.

Trent will be engaged on an ongoing basis to work with our leaders as part of this program, contributing to the success of their development."

- Kellie Smith, Manager, Leadership & Development, NAB

"Trent is not only personable but has a deep understanding of Sales and the current ever-changing market conditions.

Trent will challenge your team to think beyond what is possible and achieve great results. Trent has published a couple of books well worth a read, they stand above most Sales literature and challenge the status quo.

I would recommend Trent to anyone in need of an "outside the box" approach to Sales coaching, to achieve great results."

- Roland Webber, Global Business Manager, Weir
