Marnie is an inspiring sales coach that gets results. As an Account Executive, I have personally experienced and benefited from Marnie's sales coaching to turn around challenging sales situations. As a new VP, Marnie provided coaching in the past few months that has been instrumental to my vision, plan and strategy for the region. I would consider Marnie a 'turnaround artist' - she knows how to get the best out of each individual person, particularly struggling reps with sales DNA. She is a master at quickly diagnosing strengths and weaknesses and coaching people to achieve their full potential. Marnie has had a huge impact on my success and sales career.

- Erich Wolters | Vice President of Sales, Wise Systems

“Marnie is quite simply one of the most important people that I connect with each week. Her advice is extremely helpful as she cuts right to the heart of the matter, and her commitment to process rigor is one of her important hallmarks. No one is more knowledgeable about the fundamentals, and her intuition is just uncanny. I have not worked with anyone who has her 6th sense, that's for sure. Those characteristics, among many others make her an absolutely critical resource to our firm, Thanks for everything Marnie!”

- Patrick Begley | U.S. Leader, Sales & Business Development, TMF Group

“Marnie is amazing! She is able to take the most complex things and quickly make them easy to understand. I have seen her be able to assess talent at all levels, and motivate sales professionals to want to make changes to improve performance. People want to work with her. She has a positive mindset and always accomplishes her goal. I would highly recommend her.”

- Roseanne McCauley | VP Sales

I've worked with Marnie on and off for over two years. During this time she's been both a coach and at times challenger. She exposes blind spots and offers actionable, prescriptive advice that I can implement immediately. Marnie sees sales situations and underlying dynamics in a unique way, inspires reps to be true to the process of discovering needs, aligning solutions and closing in a simple but systematic way, and it works! My time with Marnie has directly impacted my results for the best.

- Stephen Bird | Gartner Inc. Senior Account Manager

I highly recommend Marnie Breton & Xcelerate Performance. Marnie has been such a positive influence to our organization and to our team over the last year. Marnie goes above and beyond with her follow up/follow through and she has excellent recommendations and solutions for improving performance to maximize results. Marnie is a great trainer/coach and she has a wonderful ability to bring out the best in people. Marnie is committed to bringing best in class practices to our team and then providing the support that is necessary to see measurable results. I personally look to Marnie for advice on industry trends and as a collaborator to help my business succeed.

- Susie Custer

“Marnie’s ability to build sales processes and create sales strategies is sharp, poignant, and the competitive advantage sales organizations need. She is smart, identifies patterns, and builds repeatable, tailored solutions for the most complex sales. She has been a great asset to our organization over the years, and her value throughout our continued work is evident every day.”

- Layla Shaikley | Company Name Co-founder and Vice President of Customer Experience

My co-founder and I had no experience in sales when we started LeasePilot and we hired Marnie to teach us everything from how to prospect and close deals to how to create a sales culture and hire reps.

Our expectations were unrealistically high, but Marnie exceeded them. Marnie has the experience and knowledge to layout what has to get done, but more importantly (for us) is that she has the practical insight to identify and prioritize the biggest impact activities and to move to get them done fast. That was crucial for a team of three people with extremely limited resources. But what really makes Marnie great is the fact that she cares. That has made her more than a consultant. We consider her a mentor.

- Gabriel Safar | LeasePilot Co-Founder & CEO

“Marnie has been an invaluable resource to the ClickSquared sales team. She has acted as coach, guide and sales conscience for the rookies up through the seasoned sales managers. Marnie is not just a consultant---she has been a successful sales producer and manager---so her combination of knowledge, experience and discipline around sales methodology and practice produces results. I would recommend her services to any sales organisation looking to improve performance, scale to meet aggressive growth targets and/or keep up with sales best practices as they evolve.”

- Shane Cough | VP of Global Sales

“We hired Marnie while at ClickSquared to increase the effectiveness of our inside and outside sales teams. To a sales rep she raised the bar and increased lead qualification rates by 54% positively impacting the quality of our pipeline. She operates with integrity, at warp speed with a contagious, positive enthusiasm. If you don't hire Marnie you're settling for second best.”

- John Geraghty | Vice President Sales - Cloud Marketing Platforms

“I have had the pleasure of working with Marnie Breton for the past year at ClickSquared where she has been a sales coach and liaison between our sales and marketing departments. Marnie brings a unique skill set and is able to quickly assess and prescribe what sales needs, and can then translate it into actionable terms for Marketing. Marnie’s charisma allows her to be a dynamic, results-oriented sales coach and mentor. I have grown professionally and personally as a result of working with her. I highly recommend Marnie to anyone who is looking to inspire their sales team to do things differently for different results and/or create strategic alignment between sales and marketing.”

- Valerie Vallancourt | Vice President of Marketing, Board Member

“When I think of Marnie three words come to mind: efficient, practical, and supportive. Marnie is an consummate professional who is efficient with her time. She knows how to implement things quickly and gets results. She's practical with her advice and provides a realistic roadmap to reach even the most ambitious goals. Most importantly, she's supportive of your personal success. She's a natural coach and it's been a joy to work with Marnie and watch how she has helped transform our team.”

- Vanessa Porter | Director, Demand Gen (Carbon Black Security Business Division) at VMware

“Marnie helped me in my career at Forrester in so many ways, She helped to identify my strengths in relationship building, running effective business conversations, creating solid Sequence of Events, and effectively creating a sales process that helped exceed goal quarter over quarter for 4 years in selling new business. She is very effective in getting a sales team focused and being creative in finding solutions for clients.

As a part of the coaching process, Marnie's work augments management. This was accomplished by helping me to change my approach/beliefs. There were no sales process or technology changes required with her approach and because of that, people were drawn to work with her.

On top of the above, Marnie has been a personal mentor and coach that has helped me to advance my career at Forrester. I owe her a great deal and would fully endorse her for helping any sales team achieve great results. I fully endorse Marnie and would look forward to having her come in and working with my team any time.”

- Sean Bartlett | Senior Sales Manager

“Marnie is a sales and marketing leader and a mentor to many that know her. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for 15 years. She is consistent and successful in creating and administering effective sales strategy, sales enablement and marketing programs. She has the patience to listen; the courage to challenge convention; and the resourcefulness to consistently execute to get results. That's no small feat in technology sales and consulting! Most important of all...Marnie is a coach to sales reps and creates a truly enjoyable process for all involved. She’s built and will continue to build many passionate sales cultures with her new company.”

- Greg Theriault | Member of the Board of Advisors & Senior Director Financial Services

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Marnie. She always has a creative idea. I have worked with her closely on developing the right client and sales strategies. She has always been successful and a key part of leading her teams. She is a very hard working and detail-oriented individual.”
