About Hiram Stratton

Hello, thank you for visiting my About and taking the time to get to know me.First, an overview about what we do and who we serve: At The Stratton Group, we work with CEO’s and business owners/senior leaders, looking to accelerate the accomplishment of their most important initiatives and priorities. According to Gartner, only 12% of CEO’s consistently achieve their goals and initiatives within the time committed to the board/major stakeholders. 90% of our clients achieve the most important initiatives on time or ahead of the committed date. Further, we help revenue leaders streamline their sales process and equip their managers and sales professionals with the tools to communicate and succeed in business - to ultimately drive healthier, more profitable sales. Increase their rate of new client acquisition, maintain, and extend their existing client relationships, recover lost valued past relationships, and expand the opportunities and value of their existing clients’ relationships where that exists.Our ideal clients’ profiles, those who most often reach out to us, typically fall in one of these groups:Business Owner or Senior Executive (CEO, CRO, CSO); Senior Sales or Business Unit Leader - EVP, VP, Director; EntrepreneurNow A quick bit about me: The first 15 years of my professional career, I quickly moved into management, opening offices, hiring leaders, focusing on how our products and services would make our clients and colleagues lives easier and more abundant. Generally, employed in fortune 500 companies. To reach my goal of business ownership, I needed to move from leadership to sales. If I didn\'t know how to sell something, it wouldn\'t matter what my business would be.\"A business without sales/clients has no value no matter how red my apples or sweet my bananas or how much better my widgets were\". My next 10 years I sold technology and communications solutions to mid-large corporations. My first company I started, built, and sold after 9 years. I’ve always made professional development a priority - when I invest in myself or my people, we become better, more effective, more successful, and SO DID THOSE I SURROUNDED MYSELF WITH - whether colleagues or clients. After successfully owning my first business, it was time to transition and put all my effort into utilizing what others say is my best talents - helping others aspire to become more successful. I now consult, coach and train companies in utilizing the most advanced tools and processes with the goal of increasing performance, profitability and corporate value.
