Talent, experience, and presence are important in day-to-day sales—but sustainable success is made possible by a methodology that is reproducible, practical, and directly applicable to everyday sales. Concrete results were visible in our day-to-day operations after just a short time—particularly in terms of structure, sales pitch, and a focus on closing deals. I am very pleased with our partnership with benefit IMPACT AG and wholeheartedly recommend Pascal Schwartz.»
“We chose benefitIMPACT for our company-wide workshop, ‘Meetings with IMPACT.’ With a good balance of expertise, humor, and flexibility, the trainer addressed our questions and examples and provided concrete tips on leading discussions and communicating effectively.

The best feedback: Even late on Friday afternoon, all employees were still attentive, engaged, and actively participating—the day had a noticeably positive IMPACT.”

Following this positive experience, we decided to expand this sales training program to other regions to ensure that our salespeople receive the same level of training.”
“We raised awareness and trained our sales team on the topic of ‘scheduling appointments’ through a sales and telephone training program. Benefit IMPACT tailored the training to our individual needs and, in addition to providing us with valuable tools and sales pitches, instilled an incredible sales spirit in us. Thank you very much for the friendly yet highly professional training.”
“For several years now, benefit IMPACT has been supporting us—
—in the
professional development of our employees. The workshops and training sessions are very well prepared, and the way they are conducted—by actively involving the participants—makes them highly interactive and engaging. As a former training manager, I am impressed by the high practical relevance of the sessions and the dialogue on an equal footing with the client and the participants.”
“Congratulations on the outstanding feedback from the participants. I think the feedback speaks for itself. The entire day had a clear and coherent overarching theme, as well as focused content that was consistently linked to our company, which led to a high level of acceptance among the participants. The idea of the individual success guides, which were handed out as needed, is sensational, and the entire handbook can be conveniently stowed away anywhere. I am very satisfied.”
“For Decathlon’s executives, ‘hybrid leadership’ and ‘effective online training’ are key areas for development in which benefit IMPACT has successfully supported us.

We will not hesitate to engage benefitIMPACT for future projects that align with our customer satisfaction strategy.”
“I was really impressed by the virtual format! I also loved how the trainer addressed the participants directly and made sure everyone stayed engaged
and on topic.”
“Besides investment expertise, a convincing presentation to clients is the key success factor for portfolio managers.”
To further strengthen this expertise, we are collaborating with benefit IMPACT. Our portfolio managers at the Swiss locations in Zurich,
Geneva and Lugano have, thanks to the
professional training of
benefit IMPACT valuable input
received for their daily work and successfully implemented in customer interactions.
“Thank you very much for the outstanding collaboration and your great empathy toward the company.”
“I am very happy to echo the compliments you received from the participants. It was indeed a great success and will certainly help the participants in their daily interactions with clients.”
“The two-day training session was very effective for us. We came away with many thought-provoking ideas, and all of our goals were achieved. I already knew from previous workshops with Pascal Schwartz—benefit IMPACT—that he was the right person to help us with our challenges. This is also confirmed by the consistently positive feedback from all participants. We’re already looking forward to more in-depth workshops in the new year.”
“Thank you so much for the great training.
I really appreciated how you took our individual needs and moods into account and
tailored the training accordingly.
Your decision to adjust the training after the lunch break was the right one. It led to a valuable and in-depth discussion, which was important for our team after spending so much time working from home.”
“VTX consistently ranks among the top Internet, landline, and data center providers in Switzerland in the Bilanz Telekom Rating. We are the preferred nationwide provider, especially for SMEs. We are very pleased about this, but in our fast-paced market, it requires a great deal of flexibility, continuous development, and professional development. We had our sales teams trained by benefit IMPACT through a modular sales training program to help them achieve first-class and effective
customer service. Thank you very much for the training sessions, which were highly compelling both in terms of content and personal interaction.”
“To systematize and develop our sales team, we reached out to benefit IMPACT—based on a recommendation—to request a sales training program. benefit IMPACT impressed us right from our first conversation with their solution-oriented approach and their ability to quickly adapt to our situation and needs. In addition, benefit IMPACT assured us of surprisingly strong results from the program—and they truly delivered on that promise. I am thoroughly impressed with our collaboration with benefit IMPACT in terms of content, methodology, and their approach—and I am happy to recommend them to others.”
“Our sales team is highly mobile
and travels internationally.
In our search for a
sales trainer,
benefit IMPACT was recommended to us.
The first training session took place in person, and the subsequent ones were held in the online classroom. We were surprised by how effective the training sessions in benefit IMPACT’s interactive studio are. The training went very well, and we plan to conduct all future training sessions online. We’re already looking forward to the next one!”
“benefit IMPACT is our partner for communication and sales training. The trainers know how to address customer needs and, drawing on their practical experience, incorporate them into the training sessions in an engaging way. The training sessions are motivating, results-oriented, and relevant to real-world situations. I will continue to rely on this partnership and expertise in the future.”
“I would like to express my sincere thanks for the valuable and smooth collaboration! It was a pleasure
to exchange ideas with you and work together to put a training program in place.”
“In the last twelve months
We have on the topic of sales-
development intensively with
benefit IMPACT collaborated.
What convinced us was that
benefit IMPACT a binding
Commitment regarding the target to be achieved
The result was not only achieved, but even exceeded. The systematic approach throughout our sales process and its integration with our IT industry were very convincing.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
