"Selling Without Wrestling has taught me to stop trying to sell and simply help people get what they want. My closing ratio is now actually higher than 90%, over 90% of my new business comes from unsolicited referrals; and I am as low-key the get. It's all pretty amazing!"

“I have
been a financial advisor for 30 years. I have seen
almost every training program in the book. Sid’s Selling

you want a system that allows you to be yourself and

wins.”

"Sid
Walker's Selling Without Wrestling coaching program
has had a profound impact on my life. He has helped me
understand that chemistry and timing are essential
elements of most sales. I also have come to understand
that you cannot sell everyone, and that is just fine.
Life is too short to work with people who do not care or
who do not cooperate. I sincerely believe that Sid
Walker can help anyone make selling easier and more
enjoyable for themselves and their clients."

“Sid
has helped me with call reluctance and prospecting since
1981. The concepts presented in Selling Without
Wrestling help people overcome their fears by developing
language that puts the client’s interests first. This
takes the pressure off of you and the client loves it!
The Selling Without Wrestling approach helped me become
Top 20 with my company!”

“Selling Without Wrestling is an excellent course to
better understand the relationships that are necessary
to attract and retain quality clients who will also be
quality referrers and help you have a quality business
and life. I thought I knew all of this after 24 years in
the business but Sid really knows how to help us focus
on the four areas that are key to success. His process
has helped me reach my income goals this year in the
first five months! If you want to increase your income
significantly and enjoy your business life more then you
need to sign up for this course!”

“Words cannot express the power of always being
successful using Sid's approach of offering to help
people make informed financial decisions they are
comfortable with—no matter their choice. Being true to
myself makes all other activities in life—family,
friends, faith, all the more meaningful. Thank you, Sid
for such breakthrough thinking. Cheers, David.”

“If you
practice and utilize the feeling questions Sid teaches,

“When I
initially received the information for Sid's Selling
Without Wrestling teleseminar, I wasn't sure how I was
going to fit it in. Well, I'm glad I found the time. The
training, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I reflected
back on several cases I had not opened or closed
successfully. Based on Sid's teaching, I was shutting
the door in my own face. The following week, I tweaked
what I had been saying using Sid’s "phraseology and
teachings." I opened and closed two small cases for over
$6,800 FYC. In addition, I reopened an interview two
weeks later with two partners I had spoken to several
months prior to Sid's seminar. The bottom line, I made
an additional $12,000 from this reopened case. I
attribute all of this success to using the information
from Sid's Selling Without Wrestling training. I firmly
believe, "There is no great progress, without great
process." Sid, your process works! You are the best!!!”

“I have
been attending Sid’s teleseminars, working with his
materials, and doing some personal coaching for a little
over a year now and have experienced a doubling of my
income! With 15 plus years in the business, production
pretty much flat, my sales manager was known to say on
occasion, "You might as well be working at McDonald's," (I guess that was supposed to motivate me, not!), and at
a total loss as to what to do about any of it. I found
Sid Walker and he was able to point me in the right
direction, renew my belief in myself, and help me move
my business to the next level! The greatest part is that
in doubling my income I do far less work than I have
been accustomed to doing! If you want to change your
life, check this guy out! Thank you, Sid, for
everything!”

helped me to stop ‘fighting’ the sales process by
getting ‘in the flow.’ My business has increased 20%+

should be!”

“Sid
helped me to be more of myself in this business. I
believed that I had to know everything and say the right
words in order to get people to buy. Sid told me that I
was making everything too complicat-ed. He coached me to
get rid of resistance and negative thinking and listen
to my intuition and trust myself. As result of working
with Sid, I’m much happier, I feel more connection with
my clients and I’ve just had the best month of my
career!”

“I
nearly quit this business in my tenth year. Now I’m
earning over $1 million a year. A turning point was
working with Sid to learn how to find out what prospects
really want. It seems simple, but when I perfected this,
it made all the difference.”

“I had
a lot of problems prospect-ing, and I wasn’t meeting my

“Working with Sid has at least doubled my income — and has
more than quadrupled my confidence! And, I can’t put a
number on the enjoyment I get from my career now.
Clients come to me for my intuitive strengths and my
ability to listen to what they really want. They send me
referrals; I don’t even have to ask.”

“Before
I met Sid, I had moderate success, but business was
exhausting. I’ve been working with Sid for about 10
years. My income started at about $40,000, and I’m close
to a 7-figure income this year. When you work with Sid,
get ready—it’s a great experience!”

“I
became an independent rep last January, focusing on
wealth management. We’ve had a 40% increase in income in
the last year. I also have more enthusiasm and energy,
because it’s the right model for me and a good fit.
Every day I come to work feeling good about what I do.
And that resonates with my clients.”

“I’ve
always been a backroom number-cruncher guy. Before
working with Sid, what I had learned about selling was
old-fashioned, high-pressure sales, which I didn’t like.
Sid taught me a lot of alternatives to that. Like, if
there’s chemistry and a need, then you proceed.”

“Sometimes when we look at change in our practice, we’re

“I
needed to learn how to approach prospecting, so it
wasn’t a big chore and annoyance. In my work with Sid, I
realize that chemistry and timing are the only things
you need to look for. This creates a sense of freedom.
Life becomes better when you don’t feel pressure to
perform. Plus, people relax and you can build a
connection — and that’s key to long-term growth.”

“I hit
a plateau after 23 years in business. My frustration
concerned me more than the income. I really needed to
shake things up. Working with Sid, I learned to trust my
gut. Now I focus on things that feel right to me,
especially when it comes to building strong
relationships with my clients. I’ve never been happier.
And I’ve had tremendous increases in my business.”

“Sid
helps me balance my analytical side with my emotional

“Sid is
serious when he talks about closing 90% of your
calls—and this can start to happen immediately. When you
make strong connections with prospects, your closing
ratio soars. When you follow the skills that Sid
teaches, you can become a skilled interviewer and
actually double your sales.”

“Before
I began working with Sid, there was a sense of ‘me
versus the client.’ It was a wrestling match — how to
wrestle a sale out of them or convince them to buy. Now
that stress is gone on both sides of the table. We’ve
reached Blue Chip level with Mass Mutual, have a 90%
closing ratio, and have a lot more fun.”
