	Montgomery & Graham Employee Benefits: Custom Sales Retreat http://www.mgbenefits.com An employee benefits firm was stymied on how to turn strong customer relationships into profitability. We delivered a custom 1-day retreat and monthly implementation program to help the insurance brokers strengthen customer relationships and turn those valued clients into renewed contracts and new sales opportunities for the firm.
I truly think the difference for me is that my confidence in myself has grown. I'm more conscious of the types of groups I am willing to quote. I dropped the leads group that I was in as I felt like it was not as productive as spending time with my customer advocates and referral advocates. Using my customer advocates as my referral system and compensating them for their efforts, I have already received 2 qualified leads in the first month. Joni Ramey, Insurance Broker, Montgomery & Graham, Inc.
	Abilita, Inc., Annual Conference, 2006 http://www.abilita.com Abilita hired Bobbi to conduct multiple sessions to help their consultants go from being viewed as merely vendors to creating unbreakable partnerships with their clients.

	Axium Software: Customer Support Retreat http://www.axiumae.com Axium Software, a national software provider to architectural engineering firms, was faced with rising customer complaints, negative PR at trade shows, and decreasing productivity and teamwork in its customer support department. Axium engaged Kahler Consulting to facilitate a Customer Advocate™ retreat and reinforcement program. The team opened their eyes to current challenges and potential they could reach. Their productivity and commitment increased immediately because of new awareness and skills for interacting effectively with colleagues and customers. The new tools gave managers and teammates a way to hold each other accountable for effective communication and customer service. The praise from customers was immediate, and the staff even commented that they were having fun at work!
You know how I am about results. That is what I got by having Bobbi Kahler conduct my half-day staff development training day in February. The dividends were immediate. My team has a new appreciation for one another and our customers. Plus I see the fruit of how they treat their jobs, bringing a renewed sense of passion and energy that is reflected in their productivity and customer satisfaction. One of my staff shared this: "Bobbi, through her own great personal life story, showed me how to find my Blackberry that I give to my customers. Then she helped us see how we make a huge contribution to their lives. I'll never answer a support call the same way again.” Kristi Reagan, VP of Customer Support, Axium Software

In only our second month of our fiscal year, we have been able to raise $10,000 for our literacy program and another $30,000 for additional new services.
