Most forklift sales training teaches you what to sell. This one teaches you why people buy.

The Power of Why, a 1–2 day live training experience for forklift and material handling companies and sales teams, led by Todd McBroom, an independent sales trainer and 30-year industry veteran.

How to use AI in the sales process, without losing the personal touch.

It’s not a sales problem — it’s a clarity problem.

People Knowledge > Product Knowledge. Without the people, the product is useless.

The market doesn’t have a skill shortage — it has an attitude shortage.

Your future isn’t waiting for you — it’s waiting on you.

Most people aren’t waiting for an opportunity — they’re waiting for permission.

Your competition isn’t your biggest threat — your thinking is.

How can I sell more? Wrong question. How can I serve more?

You do not truly transform until you remove the option of staying the same.

Rejection is a direction, not a destination.

Most people know what they want. Very few know why.

Confusion breeds inactivity.

You don’t have a time problem. You have a priority problem.

If you fix the root, you’ll change the fruit.

Tammy, Sales Manager, Herc-U-Lift

“Todd brings so much more to the table than your typical sales training. After nearly 20 years in sales myself, his deep dive into personality-driven selling, and truly understanding both yourself and your customer, was one of the most eye-opening experiences I’ve had.”

Clint, Sales Manager, Lift Solutions

“The training was well structured, covering both foundational and advanced sales techniques. It emphasized understanding customer needs, building rapport, and creating long-term relationships rather than focusing solely on transactions.
