"It really is about being better...Ziglar corporate training helped us connect with AIOD members in a way we've never done before-causing us to reach way beyond our goals. Our association continues to use Ziglar for all of our training needs - from classroom instruction and keynotes to online learning - because our members receive more relevant and useful training that clearly makes a difference."
--- Doug Roberts, AIOD (Association of Independent Oil Distributors)
"Our training with the Zig Ziglar Corporation greatly exceeded our expectations. According to several of our senior NCO's and seasoned recruiters it was the best sales, communications and relationship training they have ever received. It was instrumental in the tremendous success of our recruiting division the following FY in accessions, retention and overall end strength. Ziglar trainers are far and away some of the most effective trainers I have ever had the pleasure of working with and I would highly recommend a similar program for any sales and recruiting organization looking to achieve new levels of success."
-- LTC Michael Oster, Commander, Recruiting and Retention Command, South Dakota Army National Guard
“We partnered with the Ziglar team as The Bonded Family held our annual Visioneering Banquet. Ziglar, Inc., from the first call of discussion to the genuine and ongoing follow-up delivered an unforgettable experience.
As a non-profit, to be able to utilize the respected leadership of Ziglar, Inc., was a blessing. The message was inspirational, informational and motivated our supporters to see the vision and act upon it. The banquet room actually 'felt the enthusiasm' of the Ziglar team in their professional and encouraging spirit. They did a fantastic job. As a result we lived out Zig's foundational message..."You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want."
-- Dan Snell, CEO, The Bonded Family
"Ziglar is what the Army calls a 'combat multiplier,' our relationship with them has multiplied our ability to recruit and lead throughout our organization. In fact, the number of recruits into the Texas Army National Guard increased 27% the year after Ziglar began helping our recruiters."

”I think it was 5/16/2006 you were in San Antonio. I listened to all the speakers that day and something was happening to me I could not explain. After you spoke to me I felt the spirit moving in me. I walked out of the venue that day and felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off my shoulders. The next day I listened to your CD. At the end I accepted your offer to pray to accept Christ into my life. The story goes on from there but to keep it short I will tell you that my life has completely changed that day and it could not be any better. I wish I could sit down and thank you personally and tell you my story. I know that isn't possible but I want to thank you for giving me the tools to be saved. Thank you Zig Ziglar, I love you and all you do.”
Kenny
”At an age when most folks would settle down to retire and with a medical condition that would force them out of the spotlight, he has found a way to continue to not only inspire people with his life, but he is also teaching new material through his book, Embrace the Struggle.”
Mike Ramirez
”As a student of leadership development and an aspiring leader in my own right, I firmly believe that the greatest, most selfless act a leader can aspire to is the development of other leaders. When leaders raise up other leaders, their legacy is measured in multiplication. Often this is a sacrificial act (as was Zig’s presence in Anaheim last week). When we give of ourselves selflessly for the good of others, there is no greater act of love. So it wasn’t what he said that impressed me. Frankly, I had heard everything that was said many times before. It was the way he said it, it was the fact that he is still saying it that resonates with me. I can only hope that as my years roll on that I can acquire such wisdom, such grace, and have the tireless desire to still give it away as Zig does. He is a class act and an example for us all. Boil it down to one statement: ‘Zig is about (and I want to be about) relentless resilience and selfless giving.’”
Ron Hurst
”I listen to and read your programs that you put out frequently. You are a real asset for any salesperson looking to stay motivated and do well in their career. Your stuff keeps me motivated and working hard! There are certain times when I have to dig deeper and find extra motivation, and your material does this for me. I recently had a great year in selling annual commercial landscape/snow removal contracts for my company, and I feel that you have been a big factor that helped me achieve this sales success.”
Joe Weiss
”During a time I should have just been grateful to be alive, it was hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Your message helped change my perspective and that book [See You at the Top] has traveled with me (and been read many times) to college in Arizona, my first job in D.C., Denver, and now back here to Arizona. Meanwhile, I have picked up several others of your books along the way, but that is beside the point. As inspirational as your words have been to me through the years, your actions today took the cake. When it would be so much easier for you to stay home, to not travel to these seminars, to not put yourself out there in front of thousands of people, you had one girl from Nebraska sitting there with tears in her eyes, admiring the strength you exemplified to continue, despite the hurdles you have been dealt. You being in perfect health, giving the same speech you did 13 years ago in Nebraska, couldn’t have been more motivational than the courage and excitement you showed in Phoenix today.”
Stacy Kubicek

”I admire Zig for many things. Reading his books I developed the courage to come out of the shop onto the sales floor and create some great sales over the years. He taught me to look at the sales profession with great dignity and great respect, that when you are in the sales profession and create a sale and help the customer to fulfill his/her need, you are ‘cranking up’ a great big machine for this, our believed USA.”
Benjamin Suarez, Jr.
“Coach Flanagan made a positive impact on my sales career! Bryan and I worked together at Zig Ziglar Corporation where he evaluated my sales calls and gave me honest, constructive feedback for improvement. He provides a creative approach to selling, which makes it fun for the salesman as well as the customer. By practicing his sales advice I became more creative, natural, and relaxed which gave me the ability to close more sales. Bryan truly is a great person who genuinely cares about helping people win!”
Ziglar Fan
”Bryan has been known to say: ‘You cannot consistently perform at a level that is above how you see yourself.’ This rings true for all who take part in the wonderful profession of sales. And each time Bryan has worked with our sales team my view of myself and subsequent performance has improved dramatically. Bryan's experience, humor, energy, and uncanny memory of names make him a fantastic sales trainer and mentor.”
Ziglar Fan
“Flanagan is a corporate athlete, an interactive coach, an inspiring speaker, elite closer and a world class trainer of champions. During the past +20 years, Bryan has had a powerful impact on my life; personally, professionally and spiritually.”

Bill S.

Ziglar Fan
”…Krish Dhanam delivered our …keynote in San Antonio…and he was fantastic. I had a great feeling about him the minute I saw his clip. I still had a great feeling after my first phone conversation with him, and I (and my attendees!) were thrilled with his keynote. Krish was funny, engaging, inspiring and EASY to work with; so easy. We meeting planners all deal with ‘divas,’ and to work with someone who is the polar opposite…it’s just a dream, truly.”
E. Mathews,
Director of Education and Meetings
”It is a great compliment to you and Ziglar Training Systems to have our managers ask for additional training. As you know, Marriott has outstanding and lengthy training programs of our own, and for our managers to ask for more means they were challenged.”
S. Clanton, RVP, Sales & Marketing
”You provided valuable information and insight to OGC Leadership furthering our mission to promote, advocate, and protect all legal interests of the Social Security Administration. The feedback on the conference has been extremely positive. Your presentation substantially contributed to the success of our conference. We all learned so much from you. Thanks for your insights and good humor.”
L. deSoto, General Counsel
”Michael will go the extra mile to help you with your sales needs. He follows up regularly, personalizes his concepts for you, and truly cares. I thought after my sales training course through Ziglar was over I would be on my own; however, I was wrong. He now gives me weekly tips to improve my business sales strategy. I highly recommend his sales training services.”
Nick, Atlanta, GA February 2010
”Michael did a speaking/coaching engagement for my sales team at MoneyGram. Michael included real-world sales experiences with time-tested selling techniques. His sense of humor and high energy got the sales group engaged and kept them entertained. I would recommend Michael to anyone trying to educate and motivate a sales force!”
K. Gerwick March 2009
”I recently had the privilege of attending sales training through Ziglar with Michael as the instructor. The experience was truly a valuable educational experience. Michael has great command over the subject matter and provided the group with a wealth of real world applicable sales techniques that I implemented almost immediately after the class concluded. Although still refining the use of the skills and perfecting their presentation, I realized success as soon as two weeks after attending the class. The tools and techniques provided by Michael and Ziglar are not only applicable to the external sales process of selling to my customers, but have also been useful and helpful through the internal sales process on projects. In my limited experience having attended other sales and negotiation classes, the class taught by Michael and Ziglar has been the most useful and applicable one I found thus far. Not only do I recommend Michael and Ziglar, but all of the tools and techniques taught in the class. Thank you for a great class.”
Neil Waguespack,
Manager/Business Developer February 2010
”Attended the 2-day Ziglar Sales System session in Plano, Texas, where Michael was the facilitator. Michael presented the information in a clear, concise manner, allowing all participants to get involved in all discussions. It is evident that Michael has vast experience in the selling arena.”
M. Benjamin
”Michael’s drive, motivation and stories of success gave our sales team a shot to the arm of enthusiasm that helped take our sales team to the next level. His passion and willingness to help people develop to be the best…is very visible and there is no doubt, he is a man with strong integrity and character. I highly recommend Michael to help give you and/or your team an extra boost!”
