In
today’s fast paced business requirements for multi
talented people, the Business Development Group looks at
ways that can help
sales professionals, architects, accountants, lawyers,
engineers, designers and entrepreneurs of all kinds help
their customers. I attend Stan’s meetings to work some sanity into my dialogue with engineers and
administrators. I arrived with a technical discipline and have worked to develop a
sensitive side with the assistance of this talented
group.

WAAV While Stan has an
impressive background in sales methods and training, it
is his integration of the emotional side of sales with
these traditional techniques that takes business
development to a whole new level." ... "Stan focuses on
the core of what life is about to truly bring any
negotiation into perspective." ... "Stan has spent a
significant amount of time studying the underlying
fundamentals common to all human beings, and he has
successfully integrated this into a 'whole life'
approach to business development" ... "Stan looks at
material often regarded as 'out there' but typically
jam-packed with great ideas and real content." ... "This
is not your typical business development group!" ...
"While sometimes a bit 'out there' or right on the edge
in terms of what is spoken at typical business groups,
Stan brings learning through a mystical and spiritual
perspective to his group meetings." ... "Everyone seems
to walk away and say 'wow, Stan is a great guy.' -- but
did you ever stop and wonder how he does it? Come to the
meetings and you'll catch a glimpse of how you can have
the same effect yourself." ... "Stan uses the
fundamental laws of the universe in sales techniques for
growing business." ... "Watch, listen, learn, and be
nothing short of amazed."

After many years of participating in Stan's Business
Development Group I sincerely appreciate the style and
manner in which information is shared to all who
participate. I have been introduced to concepts and
source knowledge that have helped through more
challenging situations than can be recounted here.
Understanding how we, as people in business, can
interact at a higher level of integrity and core honesty
has been enlightening and I find myself in a constant
state of gratitude for all that I have experienced in
this group with Stan.

I always look forward to attending Stan's group for
three reasons. First, in the beginning of the meeting
Stan offers networking with a great group of diverse
professionals. Second, Stan provides the opportunity for
all of the attendees to help one another with business
issues and challenges that they are facing. It is
magical to see the solutions offered through a
collective effort. Third, he always shares deep and
profound wisdom to the group that allows us to see
things from a new and meaningful perspective. I highly
recommend Stan Sidman, his Business Development Group,
and his consultative services.

The Business Development Group helped me put my passions
into action. I was a teacher, a director, a small
business owner, and a mom. After becoming extremely
ill, I went to the Business Development looking for
inspiration. Thanks to my dad, Stan Sidman, and the
wonderful participants in this group, I am now the
Executive Director of a successful non-profit
organization that has helped thousands of individuals!
The Business Development Group allows for both personal
growth and of course, business development. I recommend
this group to others looking for an open-minded
environment in which you challenge complex issues of
today.

The Business Development Group, founded by Stan Sidman,
is a very unique proposition. Unlike the traditional
sales and referral groups that are available, Stan
Sidman brings a new and fresh perspective to the art of
selling. A motivator, thinker, and free spirit, Stan's
focus on non-traditional and behavioral aspects of
selling have helped me considerably in the development
and success of my business.
These are difficult times that require innovative
thinking and direction. Stan Sidman and The Business
Development Group offer these values and more.

Stan Sidman and The Business Development Group have been
very important to my business, personal, and spiritual
growth since the early '90's. The Business Development
Group has enabled me to continually ask the question
"Why do we do the things that we do?". The answers vary
but the concept is the same- we all have different
personalities, attitudes and agendas that we encounter
in business dealings and in our personal lives. By
asking the question, we get to understand how the other
parties work and interact in all situations. It is a
matter of just sifting through the stuff that really
does not matter and getting to the core essence of
being-just BEING! This approach has guided me
tremendously throughout the years in dealing with
clients and donors.

Thank you for the privilege of being a part of your
Business Development
Group. Having been a member for a while, I now realize
how invaluable
the many lessons that I have learned truly are.
The diverse audience that your group attracts seems to
allow growth that I
never thought possible. So many new concepts, so many
ways of handling
behavioral issues have enabled me to understand the
necessity of this kind
of interchange in dealing with my clients.
It is most unusual to feel so comfortable in a group
like this. Everyone seems
to simply express their problems and the solutions are
all forthcoming.
Incredibly, after you listen to all the approaches, you
always come up with
“the” solution. It always seems to be the perfect one
and so easily stated.
Again, thank you for your initial call. I never thought
that I would actually
look forward to each meeting - so colorful, so humorous,
so valuable.

I am writing you to commend you on the invaluable
contribution your group has made to our medical software
business, and to me personally.
As you know, when I joined your group several years ago,
I was quite skeptical about whether your group would be
relevant to me and my business, because my business is
so different from any other: our software product is
highly technical, and our sale is consultative,
informational, and we often sell
to large laboratories and hospitals with committees and
red tape. Also, I find
most behavioral approaches to be touchy - feely and
irrelevant.
Since joining your group, I have found that, through the
behavioral focus I
learned from you, I am more successful in all aspects of
sales, support,
management, as well as interpersonal relationships apart
from the business
world.
Because of the ongoing nature and continuous support
offered by attending
your group regularly, managing and developing business
is now easier, more
fun, more relaxed, more profitable, and less daunting
than ever before.
Recently, I presented to a group of physicians, and the
chief of the
department insulted my product to my face. Naturally, I
was hurt and angry,
and I saw my investment of time with this prospect,
vanishing into puffs of
air. In spite of all this, I used the techniques you
taught me to understand and
draw out and channel the decision-maker’s fears into a
commitment to work
with us.
I am happy to recommend your group to colleagues who can
truly
appreciate the value of tapping into a highly talented
and truly diverse group
on a continuous basis..

The Business Development
Group is one of the most interesting business
groups with which I've been affiliated. The BDG
has a diverse membership, representing a wide
range of businesses in services, manufacturing
and R&D. The meetings offer attendees the
opportunity to network and, also, to learn about
the companies represented in the room. Although
this may sound like just any networking group,
we "learn" by helping participants solve current
problems and deal with an array of business
development issues. We also learn from a
variety of philosophers, business people and
others through their writings, highlighted and
discussed at the meetings. The topics we're
covering at the BDG meetings are helping us
prepare for the future and the advent of
right-brain thinking and business with a soul.

Stimulating, Motivating and Refreshing honing of
business skills, that's what Stan's Business
Development Group brings to the business community. These meetings,
sprinkled with humor, are in stark contrast to most of
today's business programs that proliferate our environment. By
attending several of their monthly meetings, I
have found that I personally have gained more insight
along with new approaches to problem solving, enhancing relationships,
personal and professional, and increasing sales.

business, Stan's meetings explore the surprisingly
untapped and very much needed area of the person's body
and the soul.
