"Flexible Training with Some Setbacks in Marketing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I really value the flexible methodologies offered by Janek Performance Group, which allowed us to find a webinar that matched our needs without any travel, making it very convenient. I also appreciate the self-learning courses they offer, particularly looking forward to engaging with the curriculum after attending the first webinar. Additionally, I like the flexibility to work around our schedule and build a training bundle that aligns with my skill set, helping me to sharpen and expand my sales capabilities.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

Honestly, the most off-putting thing that I encounter about Janek was the advertisements that I saw after going on the website. I've got a lot of advertisements from Janek Performance Group that were very clearly created by AI with an out-of-sync model giving the narration, and it was not well done. And that was pretty off-putting to what I thought the quality of Janek would be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Skills Booster with Some Repetitive Elements"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I find Janek Performance Group really helpful in improving my sales skills, customer retention, and overall closing rate. The teachers have always been very knowledgeable, really great, nice, engaging, and down to earth. They do a good job of considering what we do and applying it to the program. Having the books on-site for review after the fact is great. I know that everything we've learned has made me better at my job. Ryan has been really excellent in general AI courses, and Genius is great for scripting and call scripts. I see the value in their services, they help improve productivity, and I would always recommend them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

The exercises during the day are repetitive and a little slow. I don't like the whole divide into teams concept; for our small group, it works better if everyone works as a big cohesive unit. The course was a bit short, and it might be better to break up the day more since everyone feels tired and brain dead by the end when the best information is shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Sage, thank you for taking the time to share such balanced and thoughtful feedback. It’s rewarding to hear that the training, reference materials, and Jenius are helping strengthen your sales skills, customer retention, and closing rate. Ryan will certainly appreciate the shoutout, and we're glad the AI capabilities are proving valuable for scripting and preparing for customer conversations.

We also appreciate your candid feedback on the workshop format. Every group learns a little differently, and your perspective on the pacing, team exercises, and opportunities for more breaks and collaborative discussion is valuable. We’ll be sure to share it with our team as we continue refining the experience.

Most of all, hearing that the training has made you better at your job and that you would recommend Janek means a great deal to us. Thank you again for your partnership and for sharing your experience.

"Empowers Sales Newcomers with Confidence"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I found the training with Janek Performance Group really valuable. Just the whole concept of thinking of yourself as a trusted adviser was eye-opening. I also liked having a plan and a template for each part of the sales process, from discovery to closing, which I could practice and feel ready for. The role-playing exercises in the course were super valuable because they helped bridge the gap between theory and real-life application. It was like practicing for a real call I had with a client, making the training a practical experience. I've already recommended this critical selling skills training to others at my company, especially for those moving into sales roles without prior experience. It gave me a strong framework, reducing the intimidation of my new job responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

There really wasn't anything I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Clea, thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. One of the biggest shifts for many people is moving from thinking of themselves as a salesperson to thinking of themselves as a trusted advisor, so it’s wonderful to hear that concept resonated with you.

We’re also glad the structure of the sales process and the role-play exercises helped build confidence and make the concepts feel practical and applicable. Bridging the gap between learning and real-world conversations is exactly what those exercises are designed to do.

The fact that you've already recommended the training to others, especially those stepping into sales roles for the first time, means a lot to us. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we wish you continued success as you grow in your new role.

"Focused, Real-World Course Content Delivered Brilliantly"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I really appreciated how concentrated the course content was. Instead of rushing through hundreds of PowerPoint slides and trying to cover dozens of topics, we focused on just a handful of essential areas that actually applied to my real-world scenarios. Each idea was unpacked thoroughly, which made it easier for me to understand the material and absorb the information more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

Nothing in the course really stood out as needing to be changed. If anything, it might be helpful to have two instructors who can present different approaches to the obstacles covered in the material, but aside from that, our single instructor was fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Jared, this is outstanding feedback, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. Hearing that the focused, practical structure of the course made the material easier to absorb and apply in real-world situations is exactly what we strive for. Your point about taking the time to fully unpack a handful of meaningful concepts, rather than rushing through dozens of disconnected topics, aligns closely with how we believe effective learning should happen.

It’s especially rewarding to hear the training helped strengthen your discovery conversations and better align solutions to each customer’s vision and needs. We also appreciate the thoughtful suggestion around multiple instructors and are glad your facilitator created such a strong overall experience.

Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback and recommendation. It truly means a lot to our team.

"Relevant Course Content and an Amazing, Well-Prepared Instructor"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

The course material was relevant, and the instructor was amazing. I also appreciated that Janek did their homework and came prepared with business cases that were directly applicable to my company and industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I can’t say there was anything I disliked about Janek Performance Group. That said, we covered a lot of material in the two-day course, and it did feel like a lot to take in. I’m not sure spreading it out over three days is the right answer, but the pace and volume of content were definitely substantial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Nick, this was incredibly meaningful feedback to read. Hearing that the course content felt directly relevant to your business and industry, and that the instructor came prepared with applicable business cases, is exactly the experience we strive to create. We also appreciate your perspective on the pace and volume of the material. There’s definitely a balance between depth, engagement, and time investment, and your feedback is helpful to us.

Thank you as well for the kind words about our team and overall process. Earning that level of trust and recommendation, especially after evaluating multiple consulting partners, means a great deal to us.

"Insightful Sales Training with Room for Improvement"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I appreciate that Janek Performance Group helped me understand different learning types, which was a valuable insight for my training. I find their Critical Selling Skills Model to be impactful because it provides a great breakdown of how to approach the sales process, including how to actively listen, position, and respond to objections. I liked the deep engagement during the sessions, which was both insightful and helpful, and I plan to implement the processes we discussed. The discussions and breakout rooms, where there was a lot of engagement and everyone got to participate, were something I really liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I did not like I was in a larger group with other entities. In my scope of sales, we do not do cold calls, and I feel like it was more for cold calling type of sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Cleve, thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that the Critical Selling Skills Model, engagement throughout the sessions, and breakout discussions provided value and gave you practical ideas you can put into practice right away.

"Practical, Market-Ready Training with Tools You Can Use Immediately"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I really appreciated how practical our training was. It wasn’t just abstract theory—Roger shared specific tools you can actually use the very next day. He was also very engaging and clearly understood the reality of today’s market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

There isn’t much to complain about, but if I had to pick something, the amount of information you receive can feel a bit overwhelming at first. It takes some time to fully digest everything and figure out how to implement it into your daily routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Vitalii, this is fantastic feedback. We love hearing that the training felt practical and immediately usable, because that’s exactly how these skills start creating real impact. Roger will definitely appreciate the shoutout as well.

You also made a great point about the amount of information. There’s a lot packed into the experience, and it can take time to fully absorb and apply everything in day-to-day conversations. That’s why putting the concepts into practice quickly is such an important part of the process.

It’s awesome to hear the training is helping build confidence, consistency, and a more strategic sales approach during your store visits. Thanks again for sharing your experience and bringing such great energy to the program.

"Enterprise Sales Manager"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I really appreciate Janek Performance Group for their excellent group training, even when conducted via Zoom due to contingencies. The instructor was fully engaged and successfully geared the audience towards active participation through their skills as a knowledgeable trainer. The training has been incredibly valuable in improving engagement, sales, and customer retention through the active skills taught to our sales executives. Janek Performance Group was able to package these sales skills into concise concepts and apply them to our sales group. I also love their approach of engaging us in group roll calls and individual activities to practice the concepts discussed. Additionally, their personalized approach, taking the time to get to know our company and applying the sales concepts to our daily activities, stands out. I can't think of anything I would change about the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Scott, this is fantastic to read. You can tell the team really leaned in, and that makes all the difference. It’s especially great to hear that the energy and engagement carried through even in a virtual setting.

We put a lot of focus on making concepts simple, practical, and easy to apply, so seeing your team take those ideas and translate them into stronger engagement, sales, and retention is exactly what we’re aiming for. The callouts around group interaction, role play, and tailoring to your day-to-day work really hit home for us.

Thanks again for taking the time to share such a detailed perspective. It means a lot, and we truly appreciate the partnership.

5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I appreciate how Janek Performance Group helps us close deals in difficult selling situations. I really like their specific method of figuring out customers' personality traits and tailoring my selling approach to their needs, which helps build trust faster, reduces rejections, and leads to more successful deals. I've seen improvement in customer engagements, which I find beneficial. I also liked how we used a real-world framework and everything was practical, allowing me to connect with customers on a deeper level by understanding their personalities and how they want to be given information.

"Tailored Training with Valuable Industry Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I appreciate how Janek Performance Group focuses on relationship building and tailoring approaches based on social styles. These strategies help us effectively communicate and collaborate with our key accounts, creating more impact and allowing us to become a trusted advisor. The social styles training is valuable as it educates us on different approaches to drive collaboration based on those styles. I believe all parts of the experience provide value, particularly when they successfully relate to our specific industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I feel like there needs to be more preparation work and in-person field experience to keep all points relevant to our industry. Doing more prior research particular to our industry and specific market nuances would greatly increase the program's effectiveness. Also, it seemed like more time was spent with territory managers and strategic accounts, whereas regional accounts didn't get as much focus. The training directed towards regional accounts should make them a priority, given the differences between territory managers, strategic accounts, and regional accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Marcelo, really appreciate the depth of your feedback here. It’s great to hear how the focus on relationship building and social styles is helping you communicate more effectively and strengthen your position as a trusted advisor with key accounts.

You also raise some important points around industry alignment and role-specific focus. Preparation and relevance to each segment, especially across territory, strategic, and regional accounts, are critical to making the experience as impactful as possible. That’s helpful insight, and we’ll be sure to share it with our team.

Glad to hear the training is making a difference in how you collaborate with your accounts. Thanks again for taking the time to share such thoughtful input.
