Testimonials
Harry Curley, CEO StreamlineMD & PRC Medical
“Working with Keylan created an immediate impact on company performance. Not only have they been a great coach to our sales team, but also to me as CEO. They are very focused, driven, and thorough in their approach. It is a real advantage for a small business to be able to have access to such a high level of sales management expertise, at a fraction of the cost. “
Dennis Drellishak Jr., President CS Business Screen
“We worked with Kevin for a year and a half. I ran a newer/smaller division of our main company that only had 1 salesperson and we needed someone with sales experience to manage this person. Kevin was a great help at implementing a sales process for this new sales rep. We went from really nothing to a great system in a short amount of time. Kevin is great at holding people accountable and organizing them. He really freed up my time as I do not come from a sales background and Kevin acted as our primary sales resource. I also used him to hold me accountable for various tasks and met with him weekly. Definitely worth what he charges.”
Steve Rapposelli
“After owning a successful business for 30 years, we realized that cracks were starting to show. Our leadership team was not functioning at a high level. Expenses were rising fast. Profit was disappearing. We needed help. One of our peers recommended Kevin to help us. Bottom line: It has been THE best decision we could have made, both personally and professionally. Revenue year over year has increased by 20%. Expenses have decreased by almost 10%. Team health is MUCH better. To be clear, all growth is on the other side of discomfort and hard work. There is no avoiding it. Kevin will guide you with his experience, wisdom, and yes, even LOVE. Kevin has been our keystone for growth and success. I guarantee you will consider it your best executive decision of the year.”
Ritchie Grampp, CEO of Bluestone Trading Company, Inc.
"Kevin's knowledge and insight have been instrumental to our sales team as we grow into the next phase of our company. His core values & mindset were a direct fit with ours, which made for even deeper connections with each person on the team."
Bridget Richard, Owner, Lamplight Counseling
“The people at Keylan helped me see my opportunities for growth, created a sales strategy to support that plan and then helped me as I created our sales team. I am very grateful for their assistance and highly recommend their services.”
Chrissy Myers, CEO, Associated Underwriters Insurance

John Hannon, President, Evarts Tremaine
“Keylan demonstrates a clear, long-term track record of getting results. Their approach is not one-size-fits-all; rather it is tailored to each organization, and even to each team member. We have worked with Keylan over the last year, and our team has been recharged. Keylan has helped us sharpen our focus and improve our performance, while enhancing communication and accountability.”
Chase McCune, Insurance consultant, Dickenson & Associates
“Kevin has been an outstanding sales coach. He has increased my sales by holding me accountable and getting me more organized. He tracks your sales activities so you can see the results. Whether you are looking to improve on a certain skill or just want to enhance overall sales, I would strongly recommend Kevin.”
Jim Hopkins, President, CPI-HR
“Keylan serves an ever-growing number of companies in a space between too big not to have a Sales VP and too small to afford one. Keylan is a great solution to help drive accountability, activity, fill the sales funnel, and bring discipline to an organization’s sales process.”
Diana Gaking, PHR, SHRM-CP, Benefits Consultant, CPI-HR
“Keylan’s senior management works to uncover and understand what motivates each and every salesperson. Keylan is able to capitalize on their individual strengths and design specific training to improve their weaknesses and drive results. Keylan is very hands-on and able to take a collaborative or autonomous approach. They tailor solutions to meet their client’s needs.”
Edward A. Zak, Chief Prospector, Profit Prospectors/Growth CFO Group
“Rely on Keylan when you need someone who’s able to understand, streamline, and improve sales and corresponding processes. Keylan is excellent for coaching individuals and implementing an overall sales process.”
Dan Richards, Owner Chemical Methods Incorporated
“Kevin has been the best outside consultant/coach I have ever hired. Amanda and CMI received tremendous value from our relationship with you and The Keylan Group.”
Dave Dickenson, Owner Dickenson & Associates
“In 2019 Dickenson & Associates made a very important decision to contract with Kevin Hudson and his organization. Our three younger professionals worked with Kevin weekly. Kevin has delivered what he promised as well as helped our professionals navigate all activities during challenging times. Kevin became a critical asset to our organization. He has held our three junior associates accountable daily, pushing them in an appropriate manner to complete calls, emails, virtual meetings, application submissions, and case closings. This in turn increased overall revenue for our organization. Kevin is a wonderful coach and a true professional. His honesty and candor are fabulous. We strongly recommend him and the Keylan team.”
Matt Jaye, VP Sales Corporate Screening Services, Inc.
“I worked with Kevin and Keylan for almost 3 years. In my 20 years of sales experience, I can confidently say that Kevin is by far the best sales management consultant/coach that I have ever worked with. Kevin takes a genuinely consultative approach to the process and takes the time to understand the unique nuances of your organization. The structure that Kevin has helped us build has resulted in improved communication and clarity as well as improved accountability.”
Adam McKee, Owner and Vision Driver, Contemporary Woods
“Being a new client of a Fractional EOS Integrator has given us a fresh perspective on how we can move our team forward in a tactical fashion. We have been working hard for 4-5 years now, learning, reading, growing, studying and attempting to apply these principles with moderate and slow success. After onboarding with Chad our Integrator, we immediately found traction in our efforts, every week we have worked together has connected months and years of learning in each Leadership Meeting. We have achieved more in the last 4 weeks working with Chad than we have in the last 4 months by ourselves. I am grateful for where we are at and even more excited about where we are going”
Anthony Milia, Owner of Milia Marketing
“Kevin Hudson has significantly improved our goal-setting and business focus at Milia Marketing. His work with Keylan Management Group brought clear direction and better accountability to our team. Kevin's guidance has directly contributed to our sales growth and stronger leadership.”
Pat O’Neill, President, O’Neill Insurance
“Keylan is critical partner for our company. Having worked with Kevin closely over the past year, our sales strategies are more refined and accountability has been increased. Kevin has proven concepts that have energized our sales team, while creating unique goals and standards for the different disciplines at our company. I’ve happily referred Keylan to business partners and colleagues that would benefit from their services and will continue to do so for many years.”
Halle Morgan, Insurance broker, Morgan Benefits
“Not only is Kevin Hudson an amazing sales coach, but he also takes the time to invest in you as a person and makes you feel heard and valued. He knows that people have different strengths and taps into developing those instead of focusing solely on weaknesses. Kevin’s strategy really works, but it is by no means a one-size-fits-all approach. If I can feel more confident and encouraged about my sales career during COVID-19 than I did a year ago when life was “normal”, you know he is doing something right. I cannot recommend Kevin enough! “
Geraldine Weiser, Business Development Director, Corporate College
“I know Kevin gets results! I have benefited from his effective coaching skills. There are few, like Kevin, that can sincerely connect and engage with anyone and everyone and bring out their best. I appreciate that he cares enough to find out who you are, what you want to accomplish, and how best to develop or enhance your strengths to achieve those goals. As a result, my client engagements are richer and more productive for both my clients and me. I won’t ever lose Kevin’s phone number.”
Greg Trunzo, Regional Sales Director, Staples Business Advantage
“Keylan has a unique ability to bring solutions and a completed proposal to the table rather than mere suggestions. Keylan is enormously prepared and insightful, equipped with the skills to understand what needs to happen for deals to close. When managing others, Keylan is both clear in guidance and sets tough but achievable goals. That alone is great, but Keylan takes the extra effort to mentor and coach to help ensure goals are met.”
Nick Korzeniowski, HCM Implementation Consultant, CBIZ
“Keylan helped me hone and establish leadership skills and has had a huge impact on the way I lead and manage people. Keylan’s approach was part empathy, part toughness… but was able to break down my own barriers so we could create a true partnership. Keylan has a unique ability to adapt to what each professional needs (or doesn’t need) in terms of management and training. Keylan has done a tremendous amount for my career.”
Greg Dubecky, President Corporate Screening Services, Inc.
“Kevin served our organization as a leadership development coach for both our VP of sales and VP of client services, both long-time professionals, and has also led both of our leaders through a transformation of their departments. He introduced big-business concepts and processes to our mid-market company and forever changed the way our sales and client services departments operated as well as our entire company. Kevin has become part of the team; his counsel is invaluable, and he is about as genuine a human as you will ever meet. It is a Blessing that we crossed paths.“
Jan Dyer, President REM Electronics
“Turning over the sales management responsibilities to Keylan Management Group was one of the best business decisions I have made as a small business owner. Our company has been in business since 1955 and we never had any structure to our sales efforts. After a year of working with Jim and Kevin, we now have a sales playbook in place and our sales team is operating with metrics that help to keep them accountable. Jim’s weekly meetings with each salesperson kept them on task and encouraged. Thanks to Jim and Kevin, there is an energy and excitement within our team that not even a Pandemic can discourage.”
Van Robins, CIC, CEO Robins Insurance
“For several years I felt like work was a whirlwind. Some roles were filled by strong talent, but others were not. The leadership team got by each day barely staying ahead of their inboxes. In reality, I felt like my inbox worked for me. We had a broad sense of what we wanted to accomplish but the road to get there was poorly defined. Kevin has given us a system in which to work so we stay focused on the big picture. He’s forced us to crystalize our vision. The EOS process and sales coaching have been transformative for our organization.”
Bill Onion, Owner of Briteskies
“As the owner of Briteskies, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kevin, and his expertise has been critical to our success. He helps us in many areas, especially in sales strategy, accountability, and leadership development. With Kevin's guidance, our sales team consistently exceeds targets and achieves impressive growth. He has been instrumental in fostering a culture of accountability within our organization. He sets clear expectations, tracks progress meticulously, and holds team members to high standards of accountability. And now, we are leaning on Kevin's expertise to help grow our leaders. Frankly, Kevin is an invaluable asset to our company, bringing his expertise in sales strategy, accountability, and leadership development.”
Anita Murphy, CEO, OneBridge Center
“I really enjoy working with Kevin Ryan and Jim Rafeedie. They have helped me create a great sales plan and they have taught me so much about sales and the best way to go about implementing the plan. We are still working on it, but I am truly enjoying the experience so far”
Scott Peckham, President, Stainless Specialties Inc.
“We engaged Kevin at Keylan to help with strategic planning and leadership development and he quickly made a measurable impact on our business. He works with us on strategic planning, but more importantly, he helps us execute our plan by holding me and our leadership team accountable for deliverables on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis. As a result, we accomplish more in a month or quarter than we have in years. As part of this process, he coaches our leadership team and hourly employees on communication and problem solving which has improved our culture and the productivity of our workforce. The return on investment we get from Kevin and Keylan makes them an invaluable asset to our business.”
Kathy Sullivan, Principal & Owner, Talent Principles
“Kevin has been a great resource and coach in supporting my professional development as a new business owner. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in sales and demonstrates a true passion for developing others so they can achieve measurable results. Kevin is also extremely personable and puts people at ease, gaining trust right away. I’d recommend him to anyone that is looking to further develop their business development capabilities.”
Brady Bonifas, HR Sales Representative, Paychex
“Keylan provided me all the tools needed to become successful in a new career and held me accountable throughout the entire process. The time management advice and organization provided me the confidence to achieve my goals both personally and professionally. To anyone looking for an accountability/leadership partner, I would highly recommend Keylan Management”
Jacqueline Veiram, Account Consultant, Staples Business Advantage
“Keylan’s senior leadership has a proven track record of being able to make sales professionals better and more effective. Keylan’s unique style helped make my teammates and I better by maximizing our individual strengths and coaching in a way that keeps you on track to hit and exceed numbers. Keylan is passionate about helping people perform at their best by introducing structure, planning, and the tools to work through challenges. Keylan helped me improve everything from how I interact internally and externally, the importance of follow-up and keeping commitments to customers. Whatever experience level your sales staff possesses (new or highly tenured), Keylan is a great resource to develop sales skills.”
