Arthur J. Schwartz

CIQ Certified Coach

Through perseverance, I have found success.

My professional career started as a trainer at Dale Carnegie. Today, I integrate coaching, training, leadership skills, sales & marketing and business management into accelerated professional effectiveness and, most importantly, net new business. More plainly: I get the job – whatever it is – done.

I am President & Founder of Accelerant Coaching. As a Certified Executive Coach, a former Business Development Partner at Vistage Worldwide, a principal partner at Dialexis and a Professional Trainer/Coach. I have worked with a myriad of clients including Cisco Systems where in over 12 years of facilitating multi-day workshops for sales engineers I have earned a 4.9 rating (on a scale of five).

By combining my extensive 30 years of in-the-trenches experiences with new technology and emerging trends, I spark innovative thinking and solutions. My leadership roles have included VP and President positions spanning a variety of industries. My broad perspective comes from leading successful corporate teams with revenues topping $1 billion to working with numerous start-ups and small, entrepreneurial companies. For instance, I developed and lead sales training departments at two publicly held corporations then founded a boutique firm specializing in technology-enabled marketing and social media. In addition, I created and led an 8-week Social Media Certification program.

I am a certified Practitioner of Conversational Intelligence (C-IQ) as well as an enhanced practitioner of “Coaching with ROI”, a system that demonstrates quantitative and qualitative value to individuals and companies enrolled in coaching contracts or projects. My sales-related credentials and certifications include Conversational Selling, Conceptual Selling, Karras Negotiation, Fire-Up Training, Power Presenting, and Social Media Certification.

COACHING BACKGROUND
