 “Recently, on my Executive Forum television series, I had the opportunity to interview Eric Baron, CEO, and David Hauer, Executive Vice President of The Baron Group, a very unusual sales training company located in Westport, Connecticut. In our research, we found some companies that appear to be on the cutting edge in their individual areas of expertise. We believe that one of these companies is The Baron Group because of the work they are doing integrating creative problem solving concepts with a state-of-the-art sales process. We were quite impressed with what we saw.“-Mr. Newman
