About Donna
Sales Coach, Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Consultant, and Author
Dr. Donna Smith Bellinger is the CEO of DS Bellinger Consulting, LLC and has enjoyed more than 40 years of corporate leadership experience. She is a strategic, no-nonsense sales consultant who is committed to driving results for her clients. Having worked in both corporate and entrepreneurial sectors, Donna is familiar with both worlds and well versed in the challenges each sector faces, as well as how to overcome those challenges.
Donna began her management career in vocational education for numerous trade and technical schools, and later transitioned into high ticket tech sales, later co-founding a technical services company. Her ability to relate to prospects in both sectors and “speak their language” has made her successful as a sales professional, and that’s the secret she teaches her clients. She simplifies the sales process, and her clients learn how to have better sales conversations, create more effective sales processes and close more deals.
In addition, Donna has taught at Columbia College Chicago, is on the Advisory Board of Oakton Community College and was awarded both a Doctor of Philosophy (Honors Causa) and the Ambassadorship-at-large Certificate by the T.I.U.A. School of Business Honors Program.
I’m Donna Smith Bellinger.
I’ve managed and consulted with small and large sales teams, from small businesses to those in the Fortune 500. I’ve seen what holds them back, and I’ve seen them break through those patterns to reach their highest potential. It’s a beautiful thing!
The first step is to maximize human capital. When your sales team trains with me, they will take a step back to see how their personal sales goals align with a larger career vision. Each member of your team will take a comprehensive communication dynamics assessment to identify their strengths. I’ll show them how to leverage their unique style for the company’s success and their own. Then we’ll build on that momentum by aligning your talent strategy to hire and train more high-achieving salespeople.
But we will have to face some difficult truths along the way. We’ll uncover some roadblocks and the behaviors that need to change to get around them. Your team may be relying too heavily on key accounts or underutilizing other resources. Whatever it is, we will create a strategy for success, and I’ll keep them accountable for those desired results.
“Donna’s advice vastly improved my conversion rate and I’ll be forever grateful for tapping into her wisdom early on!”
