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.

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.

"Well organized and structured learning opportunity"
4/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

Energetic instructor. He kept the class moving at a solid pace, but eased up at the right moments to give us time to absorb the information. The class covered a broad range of material, yet it was still digestible and easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

Nothing to note at all. Happy with their performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Rob, thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience. Finding the right pace when covering a broad range of material can make a big difference, so it’s wonderful to know your instructor kept the course energetic while still allowing time for the concepts to sink in. We especially like your description of Critical Selling Skills as a “mental roadmap” for prospecting and developing new business. Having a practical structure to rely on can bring greater clarity and purpose to each step of the sales process.

We appreciate you choosing Janek and taking the time to share your feedback!

"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.

"Effective Sales Strategies, Needs More Group Time"
4/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I used Janek Performance Group to better improve my conversation style and sales experience with my clients. I found our instructor to be well informed and kept the group engaged throughout the seminar. I appreciate how Janek brings a series of perspectives on how sales calls should flow from start to finish, creating a successful call. The method seemed to be a great pathway to gaining more sales, as agreed upon by the group I was with. I find that segregating meetings into the four pillars allows for seamless delivery and engagement between the salesperson and the customer. The orderly progression of the call as described by Janek is critical. The virtual seminar was held over Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I would have liked more time with the individual small groups to better share and learn from successful and unsuccessful aspects of sales calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

John, thank you for taking the time to share this. It’s great to hear the structure around the four pillars, opening, discovery, presenting, and gaining commitment, is helping bring more clarity and flow to your sales conversations, and that the approach is resonating with your group. We also appreciate your feedback on wanting more small group time. That peer learning and shared experience can be incredibly valuable, and we’ll make sure to pass this along to our team as we continue to refine the balance of the sessions.

Glad to hear the training is supporting your conversation style and overall sales approach. Thanks again for your feedback.

"Proactive Approach Revolutionized Our Sales Strategy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I find immense value in Janek Performance Group's approach with their Critical Selling Skills, particularly Olena's effective use of the model in presenting the program. I appreciate how Janek encourages a more proactive approach in pursuing sales, making a significant difference in our strategy. The use of LPS and open-ended questions to delve into customer needs helps transform our mentality and work methods. The role play sessions are great, and Melissa really challenges our thinking, which is crucial for our growth. Jenius has been very helpful in role-playing and utilizing the tools provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

The pre-work seemed ineffective as everyone changed their scenario, and I think it may be beneficial to select an example of a good bad interaction, have the team role play it, and then decide why they rated it the way they did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Paige, this is a fun one to read, thank you for sharing. It sounds like your team is really leaning into a more proactive sales approach, and that’s where we tend to see the biggest impact.

Love hearing how LPS (Legitimate Purpose Statement, which clarifies the value and direction of a conversation upfront) and open-ended questions are shifting how you engage customers. It’s also great to see Jenius supporting that by providing real-time coaching and roleplay practice so your team can apply the skills in the moment. Olena and Melissa will definitely appreciate the shoutouts.

We also appreciate your idea on the pre-work. That’s thoughtful feedback and exactly the kind of input that helps us keep improving the experience.

Thanks again for bringing the energy and for putting the training into action.

"Practical, Real-World Sales Training That Boosts Confidence"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

What I like the most is how practical and realistic their training is. It’s not just theory it’s things you can actually use right away. The sessions are engaging, and the examples feel relevant to real sales situations. I also appreciate how they focus on communication skills, which has helped me feel more confident when interacting with customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

One downside is that some of the content can feel a bit repetitive if you already have experience in sales. Also depending on the schedule, it can sometimes be hard to balance training with a busy workload. It would be great to have more flexible or shorter sessions for people with tight schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Victor, this is awesome to read. You nailed exactly what we’re going for, keeping things practical, relevant, and immediately usable in real conversations. It’s great to hear the focus on communication is building confidence and translating into better day-to-day interactions. That’s where the real impact happens.

We also appreciate your honest feedback on repetition and scheduling. Finding the right balance for experienced sellers and busy schedules is something we’re always working to improve.

Thanks again for the energy in this review and for putting the training into action.

"Engaging Sales Seminars with Room for Pacing Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I find Janek Performance Group's services most valuable because of the engaging group exercises and the small group sessions working through case studies. The examples of real-world scenarios really resonate with me. I also appreciate how well they keep the audience engaged during long training seminars; even with breaks, two days of eight hours plus is a long time, but they manage to keep us enthused and moving energetically through the material. I specifically thought Tara Stewart was an amazing leader, keeping everyone engaged and energetic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

Some of the sections or modules seemed to be fairly rushed due to time constraints. It felt like the key elements weren't always hit without feeling rushed, which could be improved without extending to a three-day seminar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Ron, really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It’s great to hear how the group exercises, case studies, and real-world scenarios resonated and kept things engaging, especially over a full two-day session. Tara will definitely appreciate the shoutout.

We also value your feedback on pacing. Balancing depth with time is something we’re always refining, and your input is helpful as we continue to improve the experience.

Glad to hear the training is supporting areas like presentations, renewal conversations, and handling objections. Thanks again for your feedback and for being part of the program.

"Transformative Sales Training Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I used Janek Performance Group to refine my selling and prospecting skills as a financial advisor. They helped me address challenges with selling products and communicating with prospects. This training proved to be of great value by teaching me practical skills that will help me communicate with potential clients. I liked the systematic approach of opening the discussion, discovering information through good questions, presenting the appropriate material based on the client's answers, and then finally closing the discussion by either completing the deal or defining next steps. The idea of selective prospecting is going to be very helpful in narrowing down the type of business I want to conduct with my clients. I like the in-person training because it was very engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I think video demonstrations could be helpful to explain some of the selling/prospecting approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Eli, really appreciate you sharing this. It’s great to see how the structured approach is helping you think through each stage of the conversation, from opening to next steps, and apply it directly in your work as a financial advisor. Selective prospecting is a big shift for many, so it’s great to hear that stood out as something you can use to better focus your efforts.

Thank you for your feedback on video demonstrations. That kind of added reinforcement can be valuable, and I’ll share this with our team.

Wishing you continued success as you put these skills into practice. We’d love to hear how things progress and the impact the training has over time.

"Revolutionized Our Sales Approach with Practical Strategies"
5/5
What do you like best about Janek Performance Group?

I really appreciate how Janek Performance Group has helped me by staying focused on meeting goals, reinforcing what we heard, and confirming the next steps. The structured approach to customer conversations has been incredibly beneficial in gathering information to advance our sales process. I found the presenter's knowledge and ability to provide relatable and transferable examples particularly valuable. The practical selling methodology was clearly tied to real sales performance outcomes, which resonated with me, presenting a disciplined way to improve results. Janek's emphasis on consultative selling and structured communication frameworks was especially impactful. Focusing on understanding customer needs before offering solutions helped me shift from a transactional to a relationship-driven approach. Their methodology encourages active listening, thoughtful questioning, and aligning value with customer priorities, boosting my confidence and improving outcomes. The group discussions were another aspect I found beneficial, hearing different perspectives helped me see sales challenges from new angles, providing practical ideas to apply immediately. Janek Performance Group provided a solid foundation that changed my attitude toward sales opportunities and customer interactions, underscoring that a great attitude produces great outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Janek Performance Group?

I wish there were more group discussions to hear what other opinions are. Hearing others' perspectives during these discussions could help see situations from different angles and provide practical ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theresa Manzo of Janek Performance Group

Brian, this is an incredible reflection! You captured exactly what we aim to help sales professionals do, bringing structure, discipline, and intention to every customer conversation while staying focused on outcomes. It’s especially rewarding to hear how the shift from transactional to consultative selling is impacting your confidence and results. The way you described aligning value to customer priorities and using active listening is exactly where we see the biggest gains.

We also appreciate your feedback on group discussions. Hearing different perspectives can be powerful. I'll relay that feedback to our team so we can reflect on how to build more of that into the experience.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this level of detail. It means a lot!
