Testimonials (3)
  • Bev is an absolute wonder. She makes you think about what you could do better, but she does this without making you feel like a failure, as could easily be done. She motivates and inspires, she builds up and supports, and she truly wants to help build the bridge and create a better work environment. Even though we are not currently working together, I still think about our talks and I appreciate all she has given me.

  • Beverly Flaxington brought capabilities and energy not possessed internally at a former employer of mine to developing a very successful sales and marketing effort. She became an integral part of the management team during her involvement with the firm and left a meaningful, positive imprint on the organization.

  • I worked with Bev and Michael from the Collaborative, and have been impressed with the results. The Collaborative has provided my sales team with very effective training over the years. Most importantly, Bev played a key role in helping to build out our client engagement model, which forms the basis for our approach to relationship management. They are great partners.
