Brent Darnell & Associates, Inc. What are the burning issues in wireless sales
today?
view/hide answer
From a customer's point of view, I would say that service
is the biggest issue. There is so much switching back and forth
among the wireless companies. It seems like new customers
are treated like gold and old customers are treated very
poorly or completely ignored.
Why do these issues matter?
view/hide answer
There seems to be more and more consolidation along with
more and more customer dissatisfaction with the industry.
As wireless companies know all too well, if they are not
careful, dissatisfied customers will look for alternatives.
And many times do.
What do you and your company do to help solve these problems?
view/hide answer
We teach people-skills to these technically educated and
trained people using emotional intelligence as a foundation
in order to help them better service their customers.
Who are your clients and how do you work
with them?
view/hide answer
We specialize in teaching people-skills
to people who work with and sell technology products and
services. We do an evaluation that measures emotional intelligence
or social competence, then we target specific areas for improvement. After that, we
create individualized development plans and coach the participants through
the learning and improvement process. This creates fundamental
change from within each individual.
What's the payoff for your clients?
view/hide answer
They are better able to deal with co-workers, clients and
bosses. They
are able to give better customer service. They also tend to
derive benefit for their personal lives. These programs are
not "three ring binder" programs where the event
based, informational training is forgotten in a few days. This
approach creates fundamental change from within.
How do you work with The Edmond-Howard
Network?
view/hide answer
We are helping to bring this people-dimension to the training
methodology for wireless companies.
What do you see as the value in the relationship between
our companies?
view/hide answer
We offer a proven methodology to teach social competence
to technically oriented people such as wireless sales people. The
Edmond-Howard Network has the expertise in the needs
of the wireless industry. There is a great marriage there.
What's the added value to our clients
when we work together on projects?
view/hide answer
Clients not only receive
the technical knowledge that is vital for their success,
but they receive the benefit of a way to measure and improve
their people skills, which is vital for their future success.

skills. Brent believes that by increasing their employees’ emotional
intelligence, companies can enhance people skills and increase
