RHINO NATION ACN Regional Vice President Wendee Saunders and Exceptional Sales Performance Coach Connie Kadansky

ACN began as a reseller of long distance services in the U.S., and within their first five years in business, ACN ranked 22nd in Inc. magazine’s list of fastest-growing companies in North America.

Founded in 1993, ACN was the vision of four entrepreneurs – Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Tony Cupisz and Mike Cupisz. They had countless years of direct sales experience between them, but were dissatisfied with other companies and job opportunities they had encountered. They realized that the only way to find a company they wanted to be a part of was to create that company.

So with a yellow legal pad in front of them, they formulated a business plan. On one side of the page they wrote down everything that they knew worked well, and on the other side everything that didn’t. They ripped the page in half and only kept the side that contained what would become the governing principles behind ACN – integrity, solid business practices, and a commitment to always putting the needs of the masses above the needs of themselves. And those are the same principles that drive the company today, over two decades later.

For over 25 years now Wendee Saunders has been celebrating a woman’s right to success and independence. Whether through her business, career, family or personal relationships. As a Mom she is committed to inspiring her kids to grow and become their highest potential and live a full, happy, purposeful life by being an example of what’s possible. As a business woman she is committed to bringing constant value to her clients and business partners, both economically and socially developing rewarding relationships along the way. All of this requires Wendee to be in a constant state of growth to appreciate all people and learning, to live in a state of abundance to attract wealth, greater opportunities and to inspire others to do the same.

Wendee is blessed to be in a business where she can continuously shoot for the stars, where they have a network of individuals that hold them to account, and that through the personal growth she is pushed towards each day, she can be an example for many.

Connie Kadansky works with sales organizations where the activity management of the sales force is the highest priority. Organizations that want to make sure their salespeople are engaged in the right activities, i.e., getting in front of customers and selling their products. When salespeople are not focused on their daily key performance indicators, there are many different reasons. One reason which is often ignored and devilishly costly – Sales Call Reluctance, the emotional hesitation to prospect and self-promote.

Connie administers the only assessment on the market that measures the 12 types of Sales Call Reluctance, along with the motivation and goal orientation of the sales person. Proper diagnosis is key prior to any prescriptive measures. Once diagnosed, Connie consults/advises on getting the results. She has been working with diverse sales teams for 20 years.
