“Even that one day of training had a clear, positive impact on the team. Here’s what the ‘veterans’ said after yesterday’s sales shift: ‘Did we have different customers today? No, we were different salespeople… and much better, bolder, and more confident than before!” That’s great feedback, and I’m very pleased. Hiring you was a very worthwhile investment for me.”
Jörg Oetinger
, Managing Director
“As part of our efforts to further improve the quality of consulting and services at our Business Travel Centers throughout Switzerland, a business partner recommended benefit IMPACT to us. Even the first meeting was very interesting and insightful. Through targeted questions, our eyes were opened to new approaches, and benefitIMPACT’s expertise was clearly evident. The feedback and insights from employees and executives have been consistently positive. Thank you very much for the professional and very pleasant collaboration.”
Roland Birchmeier
Member of the Executive Board
“Thanks to the support of
benefit IMPACT, we were able to
, as a first step, provide
some of our sales staff
with valuable
training and sales materials
on up-selling and cross-selling in a short period of time. The materials were extremely well received by both the employees and their managers. The training sessions with Pascal Schwartz provided the employees with new and refreshing insights regarding consulting and sales.
As a next step, we would like to share these valuable insights with additional employees and will once again collaborate with benefit IMPACT.»
Michael Steiner
Head of Marketing
“With the goal of continuously improving our customer service and serving our customers even more professionally, we provided our 80 call center employees with training on ‘customer focus.’ We chose benefit IMPACT to carry out this initiative.
Following an analysis phase, our employees received training and professional development through highly practical sessions. To ensure long-term sustainability, team leaders and selected employees were trained as “business coaches” in a 3-day program. The feedback has been very positive, and working with benefit IMPACT has been a professional and pleasant experience.”
Catalin Patamian

Veronica Keller
Head of Sales Promotion

This resulted in a customized program tailored to our specific needs, which is reflected in measurable changes in sales behavior. My sales teams are highly motivated to put the training content into practice.”
Bendicht Rindlisbacher
Member of the Executive Board
“Even after completing the three modules, we’re not considering the topic closed. We view the workshops as a catalyst for continuing to develop our customer focus in the future. The ‘Success Guide,’ which every employee received during the workshops, helps with this. It provides a quick and practical overview of what customer focus means for Freudenberg Real Estate.”
Ulrich Kerber, Managing Director of
“benefit IMPACT has been successfully supporting us
for several years
in the training and continuing education
of our executives. Thanks to the
practical focus and intensity with which the trainers work, the employees they support demonstrate very positive behavioral changes in a very short time. In every project, the defined goals were fully achieved.”
Patrick Stäuble
Chair of the Executive Board
“All of my goals were achieved. Thank you very much for your professional support and for facilitating our two-day strategy workshop, which included effective measures for achieving our goals.”
Modestino Capolupo
Managing Director
“The collaboration surrounding this year’s entrepreneurs’ conference was, once again, highly professional and competent—from the planning phase all the way through to the closing panel discussion. The workshops on business development were well-structured and clearly organized. Participants were able to develop and take away valuable strategies for implementing their own marketing and sales initiatives.”
Urs Meier,
, Managing Director
“Through our collaboration with benefit IMPACT, we saw a significant increase in sales conversions and the professional execution of sales conversations. We attribute this to the change in our store associates’ sales behavior, which was achieved through methods tailored to specific target groups and focused on the customer. In the training program, both sales consultants and store managers were held equally accountable.”
Däni Anderhub
, Director of Tourism & Services
“In March, we provided our field sales team with targeted sales development training. The goal was to reach a new market segment. After the first day of training, the seven field sales representatives had already scheduled 94 meetings with NEW customers. On the second day, these meetings were systematically prepared, and the sales pitches were practiced on an individual basis. Despite having a diverse, culturally mixed team with extensive sales experience, the feedback has been unanimously excellent. The results speak for themselves, and the sales team is highly motivated to keep this up. I knew it would go well, but I was pleasantly surprised once again.”
Ralf Schmitz
CEO
“Working with Pascal Schwartz and benefit IMPACT is a pleasure and very professional.
From the planning stage through to the delivery of the training sessions, our wishes and needs were taken into account and implemented in a practical way. In both training programs—
and
“Fit in Sales Leadership”—the desired behaviors are not only discussed but also intensively practiced. The positive experiences gained from these training sessions support and motivate participants to apply what they’ve learned in their interactions with customers. The feedback has been consistently positive.”
Ingrid Holenweger
Head of Human Resources Development
“Thank you very much for your valuable support in preparing for our trade show appearances. The structured approach—from defining our trade show goals to their effective implementation, including guidelines for behavior at the booth—has significantly improved both the quality and quantity of our contacts compared to previous years. Thank you very much for your expert support.”
Marcel Schneider
Managing Director
“Between August and October, benefit IMPACT trained our store managers and assistant store managers to become sales ambassadors. Equipped with a benefit IMPACT Toolbox®, the store managers are thoroughly trained and well-equipped to coach their sales teams on the desired sales behavior as needed. The design and content are entirely practical and tailored down to the exact wording on the signs. It’s clear that benefit IMPACT understands the retail industry. The collaboration has been very pleasant for us as a project team, and this is reflected in the feedback from the stores. As a nice bonus, the program is already showing its first results.”
René Popp
VL & PL Sales Training
“Team-building workshops are the pinnacle of a training company’s expertise—provided they aren’t just ‘fun events.’ benefit IMPACT very professionally identified the goals and needs in advance and actively guided the process through to the end of the workshop. Without coming across as pushy, the workshop helped establish commitments and identify areas for improvement. Personally, I associate benefit IMPACT with a high level of professionalism and a focus on results.”
Thomas Belohlavek,
Managing Director
“benefitIMPACT has helped our sales managers and general agents develop their sales leadership skills in a refreshing and highly practical way. We were particularly impressed by benefitIMPACT’s flexibility in integrating the training with our own leadership model (LP3). The participants’ enthusiasm and the program’s practical relevance are reflected in an impressive feedback score of 9.4 out of 10.”
David Fiorucci, Head of L&D at
“knecht reisen AG has decided to train ‘ambassadors’ who regularly conduct training sessions with all sales employees to further enhance our consulting expertise when working with our customers. benefitIMPACT actively supported and guided us through the planning and training phases. We were particularly impressed by the practical and realistic approach of the benefitIMPACT trainers. The training sessions are highly engaging and provide significant added value for the participants. We would be very happy to collaborate with benefitIMPACT again on other topics.”
Rolf Gerber
Member of the Executive Board
“Excellent results require excellent people. People like you, Pascal, who take customer needs seriously, understand them, and then do everything in their power to meet them. People like you, who throw themselves into their work with passion, never lose sight of what matters most, and continually scrutinize the approach—refining and adapting it as needed. All with the question in mind: What’s the point? What’s the benefit? This has resulted in an excellently structured sales program with a lasting impact. One that will continue to be a credit to Globus for a long time to come.”
Brigitte Baumberger,
, PL “CS Excellence”
“In August, we trained our newly formed sales team using benefit IMPACT. The goal was to encourage proactive outreach and develop positive, persuasive sales pitches. In addition to maintaining high quality standards, it was important to us to effectively showcase our unique services. The training was very effective; it instilled a positive spirit in the team and brought the members closer together.”
Alesix Yañez
Deputy Managing Director
“To help our young and newly formed team hit the ground running and use the grand opening as a kick-off, we addressed and explored various topics and questions related to teamwork during a team-building session. Together, we developed strategies for our future collaboration. The deliberate decision to hold an “out-in-the-open” event gave us the opportunity to try “team cooking under challenging conditions,” from which we were able to gain further exciting insights. Many thanks to benefit IMPACT for the exciting concept, the excellent planning, and the professional yet playful execution.”
Valentin Schmid
Sales Manager
“benefit IMPACT has been supporting us for several years in the development of our client advisors. The most recent project was ‘The Schroders Experience,’ which aimed to provide our clients with a holistic and honest advisory experience—from the moment they walk in the door through to performance. At the heart of the program were highly interactive, personalized training sessions with our client advisors. The training is methodologically based on the SAQ challenges and thus provides our client advisors with the best possible foundation for successful certification, which several of them already completed on schedule last year.”
Dr. Ariel Sergio Goekmen
Executive Board
“Over the past three years, benefit IMPACT has trained our sales, workshop, and parts service managers as they worked toward obtaining their leadership certification. The collaboration across the various training modules can be described as very successful, both from the Academy’s perspective and based on participant feedback. I would like to highlight the highly practical methodology and the high level of professionalism.”
Roman Knöpfel
Head of the Academy
“benefit IMPACT played a key role in supporting the rollout of the new advisory process at Vontobel Wealth Management. The interactive training with actors enabled our client advisors to practice all aspects of their client meetings in realistic advisory scenarios. The thorough preparation for the training sessions, as well as the valuable feedback from the benefit IMPACT trainers, were highly appreciated by our participants and could be applied immediately. The extensive experience of the trainers and actors involved enabled all participants to reflect on and improve their advisory approach.”
Christian Gmünder
COO
“For several years now, benefit IMPACT has been advising and training us on topics related to sales and leadership. In addition to their expertise and professionalism, I particularly value their in-depth industry knowledge. This results in highly practical solutions. I look forward to continuing this partnership in the future.”
