Our Clients Say...
Gabriel Arguello | Serial Entrepreneur
Rent 2 Own Trailers
I highly recommend SLIC's service. One of my businesses, Rent2own Trailers, needed to grow faster. After a discovery survey of the business, Michel from SLIC lined up and implemented the actions required to produce above 25% year-on-year growth. To allow scalability and repeatability, we laid out the sales process and implemented it in our new CRM selected to fit our needs. We changed our unique value proposition to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, adjusted our message to the clients, and modified our prospecting strategy for further expansion. Finally, we trained our sales team to close faster. In four months, we transformed this business into becoming a growth machine. Michel directed the sales efforts to get us where we wanted to be. I highly recommend SLIC's services.
Chuck Rahrig | CEO
E3 Displays
I contacted SLIC to assist in the launch of a new company I was forming while I maintained my current role as President of E3 Displays LLC. I was confident that SLIC and Michel fit the requirements. Now 15 months later, SLIC has been a key contributor in the establishment of the new company which was established in 2021. Michel was instrumental in the multiple areas of the establishment of the company. SLIC is not only easy to work with but also Michel is flexible, diligent, and accommodating. Michel have been very valuable contributors in this journey of technology and corporate launch of our new venture. I whole heartly would recommend Michel in a host of areas of his expertise that include Sales and Marketing, both Strategic and Tactical, Technology Management, and Program Management.
Kermit R. | Managing Partner
Illumina Interactive Learning
Acquisition - Highly Valuable Expertise During the evaluation of the acquisition of Illumina Interactive Learning, I needed expert insight into the potential sales opportunities and associated risks. Michel came recommended by a business broker, and from our first meeting, it was clear that his extensive sales expertise would be invaluable. I needed someone who could quickly assess and validate the backlog, pipeline, and opportunities while also providing a thorough understanding of the sales potential and risk of the target company. Michel’s ability to swiftly grasp the situation and evaluate the sales process, risks, and opportunities within the customer base was impressive. His flexible, direct, and meticulous approach and his fractional engagement model provided exactly what I needed within the limited scope of my needs. I had never fully appreciated the benefits of fractional sales experts until now—this was money well spent. I look forward to working with Michel on future projects and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking sales expertise, whether on a full-time or fractional basis.
Bruno Lemonnier | Partner & VP Sales
Agilink Group
Over 25 years, I've consistently turned to Michel for external assistance. As the leader of Sales at Agilink Group, tasked with sizing the North American market and devising a strategy for our recently acquired wire and cable manufacturer, Michel provided a clear proposal, surpassing expectations with well-planned deliverables. His expertise and efficient processes enabled us to make informed decisions regarding our North American strategy, saving both time and money. I have complete trust in Michel's ethical and discreet approach, and I eagerly anticipate future collaborations. I wholeheartedly recommend him to guide you to success.

Oceaneering
I had the pleasure of working with Michel during our time at Teledyne. I've been impressed with his intellect, dedication, and drive to create a high-performing team. I witnessed firsthand how Michel took a sales team from average to exceptional performance - by setting clear goals, the right incentives, and accountability. Another trait I appreciated of Michel is his straight-shooting style of communication, both internally and externally. He is an exceptional leader. I am confident that Michel will add value to any organization he joins or supports.
