“I first met Wicked Sage’s CEO when she held a senior executive role in a high growth education company. I immediately recognized her as a huge talent with exceptional experience in closing big ticket sales. Her ability to connect customer needs with requisite product innovations is remarkable. Her decision to launch Wicked Sage and market her established sales formula as a set of sales tools was brilliant. I am confident that Linda and her team will greatly benefit any organization looking to quickly turn around sales and increase revenue.”

“My prior experience had been that sales and marketing don’t always mix. The Wicked Sage team has changed all that. They brought together a powerful combination of global sales experience and smart, strategic marketing that resulted in sales messaging, processes and tools that took ApplyYourself to new levels. This harmonious, yet explosive combination worked to put ApplyYourself on the national Deloitte & Touche Top 500 Growth Companies List.”
