AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talent Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TLAN) announced today that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Soar Consulting, has increased its field sales presence by 58% with the completion of its Rapid Deployment sales training class for new Account Executives. The new recruiting class has already begun to positively impact revenue generation for the Company.
The week-long training class was conducted by Talent Alliance VP of Sales Chris Beck and Director of Recruiting Jeff Williams. "This group of Account Executives is by far the most talented group of sales representatives that we have onboarded in the history of our business. We expect them to immediately inject new accounts into our client base and make significant revenue contributions," said Beck.
"The business development training and specific recruiting skills covered in the SOAR Rapid Deployment training was the most in-depth, intense sales training I have ever experienced," said Greg Wilson, one of the new SOAR Account Executives.
