“Working with Rich Rudnick has really opened my eyes to how I approach my professional, spiritual and personal life. He affirmed my strengths and showed me where I have room for improvement. His approach to leadership is refreshing and has helped me accelerate my professional, spiritual and personal growth. With Rich’s help, I am becoming more productive by approaching planning, relationships, and time management differently. Rich provides sound advice that may help me overcome some of the challenges that are presented to me. Rich challenges me to think differently. Working with Rich has been one of the most rewarding experiences in which I have invested my time.”

"I have been coaching with Rich Rudnick for a year now and it has proven to be an integral part of my business growth. I was reluctant at first to invest in coaching but realized that if Rich could help me get 1 more sale, then it would more than pay for itself. Halfway through my first year, I already surpassed last year's GCI and am on my way to double my income! Rich knows how to motivate me and to the extent that I need to be “pushed.” He has me tracking my numbers, looks for patterns for growth, and provides weekly tasks and tools to accomplish my goals. I thoroughly enjoy our sessions together and intend to continue to grow, exceed my goals, and fulfill my family's dreams with Rich by my side."

"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 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."
