Client Testimonials

Sherri Sklar Receives the Highest Acclaim


“In all my years in business I have never experienced anyone who had as excellent a grasp on corporate and marketing strategy as Sherri Sklar. Sherri is all about delivering results. With her keen understanding of market strategy, we gained infinitely from her expertise and guidance. As a result, our company now has a defensible and sustainable market position and strategy. We discovered who we were and unified the team under one message to the world. We were able to take this message to key influencers in our business, and it has made a difference in terms of separating us from our competitors. Sherri has the insight necessary to quickly identify key issues, and the management and operating experience necessary to know what works and what doesn’t work. I would recommend her highly to anybody grappling with sales, marketing, channel, and revenue issues.”
Bob Junke, CEO, Adventace

“In a single session, Sherri completely reshaped and refocused my thinking about developing channel programs and channel relationships. Her range of experience and depth of knowledge were extremely valuable. She shared critical information and experience about deal and contract negotiation, pitfalls to watch out for when building partner relationships, and how to structure those relationships so it's truly a win-win for both parties involved. I feel confident that the information that I gained in working with Sherri will help me avoid serious mistakes and build a successful channel partner program going forward.”

In today’s innovative and ever growing competitive world, it is not enough to have a great product.

Only then will they entertain looking at your product. Sherri removed the stigma of a start up and got Daze noticed as an innovative leader in the most competitive space in the Toy industry – electronic gaming.
