Jean Barr Founder

I am honored to be recognized for Education and Training Awards 2025 by Corporate vision Most Innovative Sales & Leadership Training Consultancy 2025- New Zealand and Client Service Excellence Award 2025

The Sales Training CEO of the Year 2024 in New Zealand by APAC Insider.

I am dedicated to championing productivity, performance, and profit for sales professionals and companies. With over 38 years of experience, I have trained and coached thousands of individuals and teams globally, focusing on the ‘inner game of sales’ to drive success.

My point of difference lies in the mindset mastery behind the psychology and neuroscience of sales, bringing simplicity to complexity and emphasizing empowering conversations over the hard sell. Through my workshops, I have achieved a proven success rate of increasing sales by over 30% for more than three decades.

🔑 The key to improving productivity, performance, and profit lies in developing both hard and soft skills, which is a philosophy I have successfully implemented throughout My career. My goal is to make sales exhilarating, fulfilling, and rewarding by building proficiency in key EQ areas, and keeping focused on sales metrics.

Transform Your Sales Mindset

When you attend my training I will equip you with the psychology of sales and leadership, boosting your confidence in the sales process, enhancing relationships with clients, and empowering you to exceed targets and budgets. Let’s transform sales into a seamless and rewarding experience together!

I have an MBA, Business Management Dip, Sales Dips, Marketing Dip, Adult Education Dip, and Governance Certificate.

I am an expert in the mindset mastery behind the psychology and neuroscience of sale

I have trained and coached 1000’s of individuals and teams locally, nationally, and internationally over the last 38 years. I bring simplicity to complexity and believe sales is not about HARD SELL, it’s about empowering conversations that elicit emotional connection SO pivotal to closing the sale.

I have led sales training courses and workshops with a proven success rate of increasing sales by over 30% for over 3 decades and know that companies want the reassurance of working with a leading sales training company.

My key point of difference is focusing on the ‘inner game of sales. To improve productivity, performance, and profit in a business, one needs to focus on both linear hard and nonlinear soft skills, and interweave the two.

Turning Sales Struggles into Strengths

I have seen firsthand the pain that comes with a lack of performance in the sales arena and I believe that sales does not have to be hard, it can be exhilarating, fulfilling, and rewarding if proficiency is built-in key EQ area eg Maintaining your CRM, doing your homework on clients.

I have extensive Governance experience, Past Chair of Governance New Zealand Canterbury Branch, Past President of Young Women’s Christian Association Canterbury Branch, Past Vice President of the YWCA National, Past Independent Director of Endurance and Past Independent Director of Latin America New Zealand Business Council.

In my spare time, I have volunteered with Victim Support and currently volunteer for my local Fire Brigade.

What you will achieve as a result of attending the training, is confidence around the sales process, increased sales, great time management skills, the art of prospecting and cold calling (which most sales people struggle with), closing skills, and much more

What our clients are saying About us

I just wanted to thank you for coming to our head office in Napier to give our sales team some training in November. I gave you a very strict brief and you had a lot to cover in a four hour session and you certainly delivered!
I would highly recommend you to any company who wants a personalized approach rather than ‘these are the ABC’s of selling’, you really did your research into our company well and understood where we need to place ourselves in the market as well as addressing specific challenges faced by our Sales Team who are not interested in being pushy sales people! Please ask anyone thinking about your services to call me for a verbal testimonial.
I also appreciate the on-going support and follow up you’ve offered us and I will be taking you up on this in the New Year. Thanks again.
