AcquisitionWorks In The News
| Strategic
Relationship with Renowned Sales Acceleration organization |
December 15, 2005 --
AcquisitionWorks, Inc is pleased to
announce it’s formation of a strategic relationship with Darst &
Associates. Since 1985, Darst & Associates has provided sales guidance,
sales acceleration programs, and sales improvement programs for clients
on a world-wide basis.
When an acquisition occurs,
companies often have a need to accelerate the normal pace of their sales
training efforts in order to maximize the potential cross selling
opportunities brought about by the merger of the two organizations.
Darst Associates provides peak performance capability to a number of
global clients who have expanded through acquisition over the years.
Michael Darst, President of Darst & Associates commented on the
relationship, saying “Combining our capabilities with those of
AcquisitionWorks just made a lot of sense to us. While they look at the
total integration strategy we bring specific key competencies to
accelerate the sales and revenue efforts that were intended when the
acquisition was completed.”
We sought out the services of Darst
& Associates in order to meet specific needs that our clients had. As
one client put it, “We have discovered that our corporate groups can
generate programs a lot faster than our field organization can absorb
it. And with our recent acquisitions there are a number of programs we
see high potential in.”
More information about Darst &
Associates and its services can be found on their website at
