Meet the entrepreneurs who have completed the
Driven Speed Journey
Literally, I can consider this program as an acceleration; it advanced us a lot in time, months ahead.
We increased our revenue by 30% in one month with the implementation of the CS speaker’s advice.
There are many programs on the market, but none that focus as much on sales and closing deals as this one.
Due to our mentor’s advice, we managed to close two clients right after our advisory thanks to all the know-how he shared with us.
If it's a commercially focused program, this is definitely the one! With two commercial pilots as a result of it, I've never seen such an effective program before.
