One of perhaps five people in the worldwho has built this at global scale.

Three major global sales onboarding programs built from scratch — HP Medical, Cardiac Science/Zoll, Grifols. Deployed across four continents. The Sales Onboarding Architecture™ is not a framework from a book. It came from building the real thing and watching what failed in the field.

The program doesn't end at 180 days. Ongoing skill development, competitive updates, and coaching — built into the culture.

"In all my years of sales training, I've only certified two Directors of Sales Training to teach Sales Mastery. John is one of the two. He has in-depth knowledge of the sales process and an innate ability to train salespeople. He's extremely credible with senior-level sales executives and regional sales managers. They trust John to develop their new hires and to polish and hone the selling skills of their entire salesforce."

Four Continents.
One Standard.

Most sales trainers have a program. Very few have deployed one across multiple languages, regulatory environments, and sales cultures simultaneously. The difference shows up immediately when you're in the room.

"John does a superb job training a sales force with diverse backgrounds and market focus. He helped train my organization in Latin America — in Mexico and in Argentina. I also had the opportunity to attend one of his sessions in Seattle, and to this date remember it as one of the best trainings I have ever attended."

A program that works in Seattle has to work in Buenos Aires. The Sales Onboarding Architecture™ was built for that — because it was tested in that.

Your Onboarding Program Is Costing You Deals You Don't Even Know You Lost.

"The most expensive sales training mistake isn't a bad program. It's a good program with no infrastructure to sustain it. Skills decay in weeks without reinforcement. Most organizations build the event and forget the system."

— John Martin · 40 years in complex sales environments

Onboarding is not an event. It's the beginning of an ongoing development architecture. The programs John has designed treat day one and day 365 as part of the same continuous system — not a launch followed by silence.

Day 181 is not the finish line. The most durable programs build ongoing development into the culture — competitive updates, skill refreshers, coaching cadences, and a clear path from new hire to trusted advisor. That's what separates organizations where the investment compounds from those where it evaporates.

Three Ways
to Engage

Design it with you. Deliver it for you. Or coach your team to own it themselves. The right engagement depends on where you are and what you actually need.

Advisory

Architecture · Strategic Guidance

John works alongside your Sales Enablement or L&D team to design the program architecture — milestones, modules, field learning objectives, and the everboarding roadmap. Your team builds it. His experience shapes it. The engagement most VPs of Sales wish they'd had from day one.

Design & Deliver

Full Engagement · End-to-End

Full program design plus facilitation of key modules — presentation skills, consultative selling, and the manager coaching layer. The complete engagement for organizations building from scratch or rebuilding after a program that failed.

Coach the Coaches

Capability Transfer · Train the Trainer

Your trainers and enablement team learn to deliver the skills modules themselves — with John coaching them on facilitation, presentation coaching, and how to build a manager reinforcement layer that actually holds in the field.

From the Field

"I had the pleasure of working with John at Cardiac Science. We worked together quite a bit on new hire sales training and I got to see firsthand what an incredible trainer John is. He puts everything into making the new hire sales team successful from the start. The feedback from new sales representatives was always nothing but positive. Many stated it was the best sales training they had ever been a part of."
Amanda Turner Business Manager · Microsoft · formerly Cardiac Science
"John stepped right into his role at Cardiac Science and made an immediate impact. Over a six-year span, he demonstrated a unique ability to deal with a rapidly changing work environment and an astute ability to effectively communicate with a broad spectrum of cross-functional colleagues. He has solid integrity and business ethics."
Michael Matysik Principal · Broadview Acquisitions · formerly Cardiac Science
