Hal Becker Biography

Six years later in 1983, it was that same passion and energy that helped Hal Becker survive terminal cancer only months after launching Direct Opinions, one of the first customer service telemarketing firms which now conducts over 2,000,000 calls per year with offices throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 1990, Becker sold Direct Opinions to devote time for presenting lectures and seminars around the world and to promote his national bestseller, "Can I Have 5 Minutes of Your Time?" which is now in its 21st printing and is used by many corporations as their "Sales Bible." He has also authored other bestsellers including "Lip Service," one of the nation's foremost books on customer service, and "Get What You Want," a fresh approach to negotiating. His latest book on sales is titled "Ultimate Sales Book."

Becker has been featured in publications including The Wall Street Journal, Inc Magazine, Nations Business, and hundreds of newspapers and radio/TV stations around the world. He has received the Toastmasters International Communication and Leadership Award, and Inc. Magazine has recognized him as one of the nation's top speakers in the areas of Sales and Customer Service. He is also a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest earned designation presented by the National Speakers Association.

As an internationally known expert on sales, customer service, and negotiating, Becker makes more than 140 presentations a year to organizations that include IBM, Disney, New York Life, Verizon, and hundreds of other companies and associations. He covers a wide range of topics including customer relationship, sales management, and effective negotiating with a guarantee of a 15% increase in sales volume through his management training techniques. Hal Becker also founded the nonprofit Cancer Hotline of Cleveland, a telephone service that provides support and information for cancer patients and their families, and donates proceeds of his books to this cause.

Hal Becker Speaking Topics

  • Going Back to Basics

    In this intense two day onsite program, Hal will cover in a workshop environment the skills it takes to be #1.

    Day 1 covers an A-Z approach to selling (see course outline). On Day 2, Hal will spend time with senior and field management covering common sense management • and how to execute the plan and train the trainer for continued success!

  • Executive Coaching "Going to the next level

    Most senior executives have never had formal training with respect to coaching and leadership techniques. In most seminars or workshops the speaker usually tells participants what to do.

    Here, Hal spends the day observing, listening, and offering feedback on how to improve based on intense observational skills. Think of this as a golf lesson with a pro, rather than going to a seminar on how to play better golf! This program has been extraordinarily successful with Fortune 100 companies as well as small business.

  • Sales Management: How to Manage People, Not Paper

    "I can show you what to do and how to do it; the only catch is you must be willing to implement!"

    Traditionally, salespeople are trained to think competitively • which is fine, up to a point. How do you prepare them to achieve greater results by building a cohesive team?

    Hal's six step approach introduces sales mangers to the fundamental coaching and management principles used by the world's top training companies such as IBM, Xerox, Proctor & Gamble, and Disney. He incorporates these concepts with the methods of many top coaches in the world of sports. The techniques are so powerful Hal will guarantee (in writing) a 15% increase in sales volume.

  • Effective Negotiating: How to Negotiate Like a Pro

    "I can show you what to do and how to do it; the only catch is you must be willing to implement!"

    Newsweek once wrote: "Negotiating is the game of life." So, how does one prepare, whether it is in business, or your personal life?

    Hal has combined well researched theories, practical strategies, and proven techniques that are guaranteed to work for you and and your company. He will cover the "6 Most Important Ingredients" that make a professional negotiator, along with the "Negotiator's Checklist," a must for all successful negotiators.

  • Customer Service: How to Keep Clients For Life

    "I can show you what to do and how to do it; the only catch is you must be willing to implement!"

    Getting the customer is easy; it's keeping the customer that's the hard part. As all of us are aware, there is nothing new in selling and customer service. Hal's fun, upbeat approach goes back to basics which many of us have forgotten or strayed away from. He will show you the fastest way to improve your customers' satisfaction and your company's image. You will learn how to understand the customer's needs, how to build long-term relationships, and why "creative opportunities" are essential in ensuring exceptional customer service.

  • Power Selling: What Makes A Top Salesperson

    "I can show you what to do and how to do it; the only catch is you must be willing to implement!"

    Power selling is the most highly charged comprehensive type of training your sales people will ever have. They will learn that to be the best takes an easy-to-follow system. Hal uses his own experience as Xerox's #1 salesperson, along with a 10-step common sense, back-to-basics approach to give them the tools they need to succeed. He has trained tens of thousands of salespeople on his "insiders" look at how to achieve sales success.
