Consulting & Coaching thru Transitions & Turnarounds
About
You might be wondering what the “&” and blocks in the logo mean. It’s really quite simple and goes to the heart in how we work with people. The “&” means “you & Swette” working together to get results. The blocks signify “partnership” where we are linked together, as one – partners in business growth
So now, Rob Swette. He is an experienced businessman and business owner, enriched by his consulting, coaching and education. Rob’s expertise is helping turnaround struggling or poor performing teams to achieve their goals or coaching emerging leaders into their new roles. This is achieved by ensuring a clear strategy, associated actions plan, accountability structure and professional development as required.

Additionally, Rob had the privilege of working directly with Peter Drucker, considered the father of modern management, while a post graduate student at Claremont Graduate School. Rob learned first-hand the importance of management and leadership in working with people as the organization’s most valuable resource. Rob has an MBA from Ashland University and a BS Engineering from Arizona State University.
Rob has also been a part of the community working with various non-profits and is a graduate of LEAD San Diego.

OUR CLIENTS
Partners in Business Growth
Our clients share one thing in common, they want to get better and want to learn. Typically, an ideal engagement works along the entire Strategic Management Growth Process, working with all organizational levels helping implement strategies and developing the people who are charged with making it happen. We work with a variety of clients, especially technology ones such as:
“I am an entrepreneur/merchant at heart. One of voids in growing the business was a stronger degree of professional management. Rob has brought that to the organization by advising, coaching and putting the disciplines in place to make the Equature vision a reality. Rob works with many departments, mentoring, developing and establishing an accountability factor that keeps us on track. Rob works well with the team, in a collaborative, non-threatening way that enhances our growth.”
“I started working with Rob shortly after I moved from an engineering role into a new role building a sales team for our company. Rob has been instrumental in helping me structure everything from hiring and onboarding plans, sales process and best practices, and generally be a sounding board throughout strategy and high level development tasks, as I moved into a sales and company leadership role. Rob not only provides training, structure and guidance, but really works as a coach and sounding board, facilitating personal development and thoughtful engagement. I always derive value from our one-on-one sessions as well as the sales leadership meetings he runs. He does a great job focusing on the present and helping keep an eye on the future. I look forward to seeing what his continued engagement helps me and my team achieve.”
“Working with Rob as a sales coach has been a true collaboration and asset to our company. Rob spent time understanding our business and adapting his knowledge to give VersaCall invaluable sales, customer service, and business tools. With Rob’s guidance and expertise, we now have a well-planned sales department and strategy where we are able to consistently grow sales.”
“Rob brought definition to our sales process, created a strong system of accountability, advanced the sales development and closing skills of our team, and assisted us in bringing on additional resources. Rob was able to quickly assess our current situation, identify what was needed, and then developed a plan to get it done. The results? Record sales in just a few short months and a record year.”
“MIE Solutions was having sales process issues and we knew there had to be some changes for our company. I was impressed by Rob’s ability to communicate the common problems most sales organizations and people have, and actually come up with process solutions. I invited Rob in to work with the sales team in sales training, sales process flow and new hires. Rob also worked on organizational charts and job descriptions, product offerings (including pricing), and sales management dashboards. I suggest in a support organization you use Rob to help train staff on how to communicate effectively with clients. It’s difficult to find consultants that work with your whole team without an ego, and I found Rob was able to come in and do the job. ”
“Coach Rob Swette has helped me become the professional I am over the past 8 years. I have been able to grow from an everyday street rep into leading & building a team into my current role as VP of Sales at Societe Brewing Co. The Journey does not stop here, Rob always has a way to help me find the way to get to my next level and supports me in that endeavor. I hope to always have Rob in my corner both as a professional & personal mentor. His calm but “No Bullshit” approach really helps me cut through to what really matters to make action. Thanks Rob!”
