Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 12, 2009 -- The Business Coach of Texas (BCOT) announced today that it has entered into a distributor agreement with Minneapolis, Minn.-based Action Selling. BCOT is now accredited to provide Action Selling professional sales training, assessments and certification programs for its clients throughout Texas and the Southwest.

The Action Selling methodology has been successfully taught for more than two decades and has been implemented by more than 2,500 companies and 300,000 certified professional sales executives across the United States. The Action Selling-BCOT agreement is one of only a handful worldwide that allows for an independent, third-party company to provide this service on behalf of its clients and sales coaching partners.

"Action Selling is very pleased to appoint The Business Coach of Texas and Eric H. Gore to independently provide our full suite of training and assessment services," said Romaine Bechir, vice president of sales training at Action Selling. "The full depth of sales capabilities as evidenced by Mr. Gore's nearly 30 years of professional sales and sales leadership experience when combined with Action Selling's comprehensive sales training program clearly positions The Business Coach of Texas to lead the way for sales training excellence on behalf of his firm's clients."

Action Selling provides a systematic approach to managing and conducting the entire sales process. The complete training program provides all the necessary tools for students and instructors. Training is customized specifically for each organization's selling situation and even for individual salespeople. Studies document that veteran salespeople who become Action Selling Certified improve their sales performance at six times the rate of others. Students participate in a highly interactive two-day training session facilitated by highly trained, Action Selling certified instructors. Students then take part in Skill Drills to refine and reinforce their new skills in the field. Accountability is built into the process with management reinforcement, plus an assessment and full certification system.

"The Business Coach of Texas selected Action Selling over a number of other sales training partnership programs, including companies offering franchise operations, because the entire suite was clearly above anything currently offered by any other provider," said Eric H. Gore, president and chief executive officer at BCOT. "Now, with the addition of Action Selling to our full line-up of business and executive coaching services, BCOT can deliver a compelling executive sales training solution to help our clients and other sales coaching partners raise the standards for professional sales excellence and optimal results."
