Frank Giglio, Senior Managing Consultant - Paradigm Tax Group & former President - Diversified Property Solutions
Working with Jon Reesman, I learned the "art" of selling and no one knows that art AND can teach/convey that "art" better than Jon. We used Sales Driven Services (SDS) Lead Generation and Deal Closure services successfully-callers were able to get sales calls set up where other similar firms were not successful. Jon is the ultimate field general, directing the activities, participating in the meetings (if requested) and following up after the meetings. When I was President of DPS, we hired SDS because our goal was to increase revenue for the purpose of growing and possibly selling the firm. We were acquired by Paradigm Tax Group three years later. This would not have been possible without SDS' involvement. SDS' formula of Focus, Frequency & Follow-through and Jon's consistently positive attitude helped us keep our eye on the ball during the transition and push the deal over the goal line.
Mark Savitskie, President - Allegro Home Loans
Jon has a constant and relentless desire to find the positive in every situation. He sees an opportunity in everything - even areas where we think there may be problems, he finds opportunity in them. He has “thick skin” and takes everything very constructively. His frankness with me and me with him makes our working relationship very productive.
Ralph Cornell, Partner - PriceWaterhouseCoopers
Jon has spearheaded our strategic plan in Grand Rapids and Detroit. He is outstanding with people and he bonds with different types of people very easily. He has progressed well in our firm - going from just trying to understand our very sophisticated services to being considered a leader in three short years.
Terry Conley, Partner - Grant Thornton
He’s very good at developing clients where we had no audit relationships. He has a penetration strategy that is very successful. He is hardworking, passionate, “straight shooter”. He’s honest, trustworthy, and well received by the marketplace. He networks in and outside the firm very well. His enthusiasm is unmatched.
David Hammond, Partner - BDO Seidman
Jon helped us get into new clients - especially Whirlpool - that resulted in millions of dollars worth of work. Focus and follow through are Jon’s strongest attributes; he doesn’t take no for an answer. He livens up conversation too.
