“Jen is absolutely amazing. She has helped me change my way of thinking in so many different facets of both my personal and professional life. Knowing that I have my own personal coach that I can go to with the skill set that she has is invaluable. I especially love the way coaching has helped me with time management and getting more referrals! Skillway and Jen for the win!!”

Business Development Manager, The Budd Group
Greenville, South Carolina

“Jen and the Skillway team are fantastic. She is able to quickly pivot when I have unplanned topics to cover on our regularly scheduled calls, is available on demand if I need some emergency help, and always provides valuable insights with concrete execution plans. I am a better salesperson, employee, teammate, and leader with her by my side. My ROI is astounding!”

Business Account Manager, Genedata
Atlanta, Georgia

“At the start of 2024, I embarked on a journey with Skillway’s sales coaching program, and it has been an exceptionally rewarding experience. Rachel, my coach, has been phenomenal. She excels in breaking down complex material and customizes the learning experience to meet my unique needs. I’m very grateful to Skillway and my coach for their belief in my potential and for equipping me with the essential tools and knowledge to thrive in my sales role.

P.S. For anyone hesitating about joining a program with Skillway, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap. It’s a decision I doubt you’ll regret.”

“The best team of people we have partnered with since we started our company 15 years ago. They are creative, supportive and committed to making an impact. We have easily achieved a 5x return on our investment.”

Founder & CEO, Immedia & NextSpace
Phoenix, Arizona

We’re now midway through our second year working with Skillway, and the impact on our business has been profound. We brought them in to help us reimagine and revive our sales culture across every aspect of our field and sales operations — and that’s exactly what we’ve done.

What sets Skillway apart is that they don’t operate like an outside vendor. They become an extension of your team. Together, we’ve rebuilt our mindset, sales goals, scripts, training curriculum, quality assurance program, ride-alongs, and shadowing protocols from the ground up. Every piece has been thoughtfully redesigned with our people and our customers in mind.

The results speak for themselves, but the single best thing I can point to is the confidence our sales team now exhibits. They show up differently. They sell differently. They believe in what they’re doing — and our customers feel it.

President, All-American Pest Control
Nashville, Tennessee

“My coaching experience with Skillway has been nothing short of amazing! Rachel has been instrumental in helping me realize both my personal and professional aspirations by recognizing my worth and the value of my time as a leader. Thank you for always being consistent and for keeping me accountable in my leadership role.”

P&C Service Leader, Houchens Insurance Group

“Worked with a number of sales training/coaching professionals over the years – Skillway and team have exceeded all expectations, and my team feels positioned for growth, as a direct result of their support.”

“Jen has done an excellent job facilitating each session and keeping the discussion engaging. She explains concepts clearly and provides practical examples that make the material easy to apply in real conversations.”

Account Manager, M3 Technology Group
Birmingham, Alabama

“I came into the coaching program with no sales experience and a fear of customer calls. Dave’s coaching made sales feel clear, achievable, and much more natural. It helped me build confidence, connect authentically with customers, and shift my mindset toward finding solutions together instead of just selling. Skillway has been a game-changer for both my sales skills and confidence; selling is now the best part of my day, and I look forward to it!”

“We so appreciated Dew joining our company’s annual retreat to teach us more about the importance of networking and best bets on how to approach in any setting.

We’re definitely applying the learnings already and would recommend Skillway for anything regarding sales and marketing for your business!”

Social Media Director, McKeeman Communications
Greenville, North Carolina

“Working with Lindsay has been a game-changer. Every session is a blend of encouragement, challenge, and real-world strategy that helps me sharpen my communication, stay focused, and lead with confidence. What I’ve appreciated most is her ability to meet me exactly where I am, while also pushing me to stretch into the next version of myself. Highly recommend Skillway’s entire team!”

CEO and Founder, Tayden Impact Partners
Nashville, Tennessee

Working with the Skillway team has been a valuable experience for our organization. They’ve challenged us to think differently and step outside of our normal way of operating.

One of the most impactful aspects has been the development of structured playbooks. These have proven to be effective training tools for our team and are clearly well-thought-out and professionally developed. Our CSRs, in particular, have benefited from the consistency and clarity the playbooks bring to their training and day-to-day interactions with customers.

Dew and the Skillway team have been strong partners throughout the process, providing accountability and practical guidance.

From a results standpoint, Skillway helped us reframe how we set and pursue goals. By adopting the concepts of “stretch” and “crush” goals, we reached long-term EBITDA targets years ahead of schedule. That shift has changed how we approach growth moving forward.

We appreciate the partnership and the impact Skillway has had on our team. I would absolutely recommend Skillway to any organization looking to challenge their team, build better processes, and achieve stronger results.

President & CEO, Stewart Richey Construction
Bowling Green, Kentucky

“I find it really helpful that Rachel has a background in insurance, so she understands what I’m talking about in regard to my industry, and also that she knows enough about the ins and outs of our agency and team that it helps with context in our conversations. She’s great, and I’m thankful for our coaching sessions!”

P&C Service Director, Houchens Insurance Group

“Lindsay has been a game-changer for my business! She’s helped me communicate with clients authentically and confidently.

Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Bionavix

“I completed the Skillway training on prospecting realtors more effectively, then I started coaching one-on-one with Rachel. In April, 100% of my closed business was purchase business from realtors!!I have no doubt that I’d still be at 50/50 refinance vs. purchase had I not gotten connected with y’all!

Thanks for everything!”
