Thriving Clients

"Starting my new career in real estate after being a salon owner for over half of my life, I knew I needed the support of a coach to reach my goals. Rich Rudnick not only pushed and encouraged me, he also believed in me more than I did in myself at times. In my first 9-10 months of coaching, I achieved more than I anticipated or thought possible, all while keeping my priorities straight. Now into my second year, I have goals to double and I am well on my way. Having the accountability and learning to have balance in my life is key. The most beneficial tools have been the systems Rich has given me. He has helped me set up a road map not only to stay on track, but to help me see my progress when I start to look too far ahead. Rich’s coaching approach is down to earth and encouraging, which has worked very well for me. He understands different learning styles and adapts to the differences helping me right where I am."

"I just wrapped up my first year of real estate coaching with Rich Rudnick. Previously having no experience with coaching and just over 1.5 years as a realtor, I was introduced to Rich from a lender partner of mine. Rich was quickly able to take a lot of the self-imposed hurdles out of my way and was able to get me on a much more productive path toward success. My business more than doubled within the first year of coaching and I signed up for another year of coaching and am already on track to double my business again. For those of you who are contemplating a coach, my recommendation would be to find a coach that holds you accountable and has a platform for tracking and projecting your numbers...this would be Rich. Investing in and making coaching part of your business plan should be a top priority if you are looking to grow your business and increase time spent with family."

"I have personally worked with Rich Rudnick 1:1 and in group program for 8+ years and I know it works. Every year my business and my team have grown exponentially and I could not have achieved the results for myself or my team without coaching. EVERY successful athlete and business professional has a mentor /coach. It is critical to have that person who is committed to YOU & your success, working with you. Rich will help you create a 6 step dynamic presentation to gain TOP Realtor relationships, challenge you to develop and grow your business skills and hold you accountable to achieve higher results than you have ever before."

"I have now been with Rich Rudnick for seven years, and during that time he has kept me on track. I've have always likened my time with him as meeting with my "therapist" to sort out my thoughts for the week that was and week that is. I would recommend his assistance to anyone. Thanks, and looking forward to next year!!"

"We have been working with Rich Rudnick since August of 2015 and have been very impressed with his motivation to help us grow our business and increase our real estate transactions. We cannot say enough about our experience with Rich and Smart Sales Solutions®. Not only have we increased our sales, but with his coaching we also have more personal time to spend with my family. He has taught us better time management, how to price listings to sell first, and to network more effectively with our sphere of influence. We highly recommend Rich to increase your sales!"

"I’ve been coaching with Rich Rudnick for 6 years and I consider his services an extension of my business and responsible for much of our success. After 6 years, I understand the Smart Sales Solutions® concepts and systems well, and rely on Rich for accountability and to help guide me through growth challenges and opportunities. Rich has taught me the importance of a healthy pipeline, and how to create an on-going stream of incoming leads, which allows us to have an abundance of clients and an opportunity to be selected and work with those who we consider to be our ideal client. I highly recommend Rich and all the fine coaches at Smart Sales Solutions® that follow and teach the well-tuned Smart Sales Solution™ program."

"Now that I’m coaching with Rich Rudnick, it’s easy to look at the big picture and track current and potential business. Before, I knew where my business was coming from, but now I have a tool that helps me look at all the moving parts. I have tracking numbers all assembled in one place. Coaching has helped me in that, I have regular, scheduled meetings for which I must be accountable to have done homework to advance my business. Getting regular support and feedback that jump starts my energy level and gets me moving is also very helpful. Persistence and perseverance pay off. As a result, I am seeing my commissions continually increase, along with my building pipeline."

"Smart Sales Solutions® has been a great help to our organization. They have taken an active part in the personal one on one weekly sales mentoring using an efficient 30 minute phone call to track results to goals. Rich Rudnick follows timely and responds to challenges that surface during the week working as an effective “Outsourced Sales Manager” for our organization. Smart Sales Solutions® has also helped our management team align staff and prospective employees with their unique abilities utilizing the DISC assessment test and following analysis and discussion. This has helped improve our Human Resource efforts to hire and retain ideal associates. I highly recommend Rich Rudnick and his team to work for you."

"Rich Rudnick has been a very good “sounding board” for me, especially during times when I have struggled with some of my professional relationships. He has been someone that I can always count on to tell me the truth. One of my challenges was getting “stuck” on a position when working through issues or problems at work. Rich helped me develop skills to help me to think a bit outside the box. I appreciate working with him because he is always very straight forward and honest, and will tell me things even when he knows that they will be difficult to hear. Some of the noticeable gains in my life have been in the personal area. I have become much more disciplined about taking care of myself and my health, and as a result I now exercise daily. I have also lost over 45 pounds over the past nine months (with the assistance of Weight Watchers)! My experience with Rich has been very valuable for me in both my personal and professional life. I have picked up skills that have helped me in both of these areas. It is definitely worth the time and investment."

"Over three years ago I participated in personal life coaching from Rich Rudnick at Smart Sales Solutions®. I knew that preparing myself for an election year as an incumbent county commissioner would be a wise investment. I found that knowing more about myself and how I react to people and situations is very valuable. Having a general outline of my perfect day and productive week always gives me a frame of reference for what I am doing and why. I feel more confident that I am living a purpose driven life. If you are interested in being a highly productive professional, call Rich."
