SAINT PAUL, MN (May 10, 2016) – John Baker today announced a strategic partnership with Gary Higgins to integrate Baker’s award-winning program, “The Asking Formula,” into Higgins’ current sales and service performance training platform. Higgins, who also leverages the strength of Miller Heiman (now MHI Global), offers a powerful package of sales processes and tools to drive sales performance and connect with customers. This partnership will further help organizations maximize the potential of their teams while delivering additional value to clients.

Said Baker, “I’m proud and excited for this partnership with Gary. He brings years of leadership and experience together with a terrific array of tools and programs that make organizations excited about training their people. With the addition of ‘The Asking Formula,’ Gary’s sure to help sales teams ask for – and get – what they want.”

Added Higgins, “John’s program is an immediate skill building aid for those who need to be more concise, focused, and diplomatically aggressive in asking for what they need… from any audience: prospects, clients or internal partners.”

Additionally, Higgins will leverage ASK UTM, an ongoing training application of “The Asking Formula.” Users learn ongoing lessons from John Baker through interactive, video-based content, and cloud-sharing technology on mobile devices. Especially useful for skill practice, peer-to-peer sharing, and performance validation, it puts “The Asking Formula” into the palm of the user’s hand.

“I’m especially excited to share ASK UTM in my sales and account management process training. Many clients are geographically dispersed, making it difficult to provide ongoing reinforcement and coaching. ASK U connects teams in a highly efficient fashion, to collect feedback, connect with their peers, and practice their ‘asks’ wherever they’re located and whenever they want.” stated Higgins.

ASK UTM is currently an enterprise-packaged solution, available on iPad®, iPhone® and AndroidTM devices.
