BetterSell Solutions – Bob Hatcher – If you have all the revenue you need, you don’t need us!

BetterSell Solutions is all about selling, sales excellence, taking products to market, creating compelling value propositions, defining your market, creating ideal customer profiles, and making sales.

The Arch of Leadership – Michael Shenkman
The Arch of Leadership conducts programs exclusively on leadership. It is true that management, coaching, mentoring or other interactions are invaluable to the success of any organization, but they are quite distinct from leading. Our concentration on leading enables you to sort out what you must do, and who you must be when nothing other than leading is required.
The lessons learned in our programs are applied right away, in your immediate leadership situation. Arch of Leadership programs are most appropriate for senior executives who confront leadership challenges every day.
Arch of Leadership mentors are thoroughly trained to help you become a more effective leader. Our mentors are experienced organizational consultants and executive coaches and all have led organizations as owners, partners or executives.
Each leader brings deeply personal and individual talents to this challenge. We know that no single, cookie cutter program or formula will be effective in advancing the critical skills that leaders must draw on in their work. So, our individual mentoring and group experiential learning programs help leaders create their own, continuous, life-long leadership learning paths.
