Testimonials

Don worked for Lam Research from November 2003 to December 2005 as Vice President of North American Sales and Field Operations. In this role, he reported directly to me. During this time, he led the sales teams that captured Lam’s first orders in years at Intel and Texas Instruments. He’s a creative and flexible problem solver who gets to the root of problems and develops strategies for solving them. His communications are always clear, effective and honest. As both a Lam employee and as a consultant, Don was an asset and a trusted advisor to us, and we would hire him again if the appropriate need arose.

Don has consistently provided stellar, personalized advice and has helped Fralock hire some key people in our growing organization. He helped us write a compelling job description after our first discussion, and within two weeks he presented us with candidates who were all very qualified. With Don’s help, we landed one of the key hires for my business unit who has been a great fit for us. Don is a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional, and I recommend him highly.

Simco-Ion Technology Group hired Don to conduct sales training for our US and Europe sales teams. His training delivered on promise from start to finish, concluding with the sales team implementing virtually all his strategies and tactics. Don’s ability to deliver in a ‘virtual’ environment through video and web interactive was also exceptional. His delivery, examples, case studies, and role playing kept the sales team very active and engaged throughout. I highly recommend Don Maher to provide sales training to any organization. He is excellent.

Don Maher's methods for overcoming challenges associated with the high technology, high value sale, have been instrumental in simplifying the complex sales cycle thus improving my customer relationships. His process is direct and efficient. He has the ability to ask the right questions to quickly assess inefficiencies and strengths. And provides recommendations that are focused yet not complicated, and easily incorporated into existing systems without major disruptions.

Working with Don was a valuable and pleasurable experience for our management team and Board and ultimately helped us crystallize realistic options for long term growth in shareholder value.

I met Don during a wafer fab start-up at Atmel when he was leading the Applied Materials Sales and Service team. Our evaluations led to the purchase of more than $300M of Applied Materials equipment, and Top Supplier Awards for Don and his team over the ensuing years. Don’s knowledge, honesty and professionalism at every level has been greatly appreciated.
