"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!"

"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."

“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!”

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, you will set yourself apart from other advisors. Most prospects have never been asked how they feel or why they feel the way they do about their situation.”

“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!”

“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’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.”

“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.”
