• AUSTIN HAS PLAYED A HUGE ROLE IN OUR OFFICE PRODUCING REMARKABLE RESULTS AS WE ARE CURRENTLY PACING 1.3 MILLION IN REVENUE IN OUR FIRST FULL YEAR OPEN. HIS GUIDANCE COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF AREARS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS. HE INTRODUCED A MULTILAYER SALES MODEL TO MY VETERAN SALES TEAM, HELPED ADJUST A BELIEF SYSTEM OF WHERE OUR APPROACH TO DRIVING REVENUE IS FOCUSED, COACHED MY SALES TEAM ON OUTLIER MANAGEMENT AND MYSELF/MY STAFF ON EFFICIENT DEPLOYMENT OF HUMAN AND RESOURCE CAPITAL. HIS APPROACH CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL PRACTICES AND HAS HELPED US NOT ONLY GROW OUR EXISTING SALES TEAM, BUT IMPROVE THE SUCCESS RATE AND PRODUCTIVITY FOR NEWLY ONBOARDED REPS. AFTER WORKING WITH AUSTIN LAST FALL, I HAVE A MUCH BETTER PULSE ON MY VETERAN SALES REPS THIS YEAR AND HOW TO SERVE THEM. THIS SPRING AUSTIN HELPED ME TWEAK MY ONBOARDING PROCESS WHICH LED US DOWN A STREAK OF NEW REP SUCCESS WHERE WE CAME OUT OF THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR AHEAD OF ANY OFFICE IN THE COMPANY IN NEW REP SALES. HE HAS BEEN AN INVALUABLE ASSET FOR US AS WE LOOK AT QUANTUM GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS GOING INTO 2024.

  • Austin and I have had so many conversations and he has given me so much value so it’s challenging to pinpoint just a few specific things he’s helped me with, but a few of the most impactful are the importance of organic lead generation and building a business that is ‘defensible’ in nature. His concept of a resource challenge vs systemic challenge - resource challenge referring to being in a constant battle to be resourceful and with systemic challenges you grow your business just by growing the systems. His 3-2-1 planning model for executive level planning…reflecting on the past. Focusing on the present. Casting vision into the future; and making sure to balance these appropriately when it comes to a bias for action and preparedness. Austin also constantly challenges me through our conversations offering other perspectives allowing me to see life and business through other lenses.

  • I WORKED WITH AUSTIN FOR 5 YEARS AND OUT OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH OVER A 20-YEAR PERIOD, VERY FEW ADVANCED AS QUICKLY AS AUSTIN. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART ABOUT HIS GROWTH WAS NOT THE POSITIONS THAT HE ADVANCED THROUGH, BUT HIS PERSONAL GROWTH, GOING FROM A YOUNG STUDENT HIMSELF TO A MENTOR FOR OTHERS SO QUICKLY. HE'S A VERACIOUS LEARNER, IS PASSIONATE ABOUT TEACHING AND HELPING OTHERS, AND HAS A NEVER-ENDING WORK ETHIC. IF I WAS A YOUNG ADULT I WOULD STAND IN LINE AND PAY TO IN ORDER TO GET A CHANCE TO WORK WITH AUSTIN. IF I WERE A PARENT (WHICH I AM), I WOULD DO EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET MY KIDS COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE TO WORK WITH SOMEONE LIKE AUSTIN. THE TYPE OF EDUCATION HE GIVES IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NEED TO HELP COMPLEMENT ANY FORMAL EDUCATION. THE SKILLS TAUGHT ARE PRACTICAL, UNIVERSAL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ARE EXERCISED VERSUS JUST LEARNED IN THEORY. TIME MANAGEMENT, LEADERSHIP, BUILDING RAPPORT, LOW-KEY SALES, AND BUILDING A BUSINESS ARE JUST SOME OF THE SKILLS YOU WILL WALK AWAY FROM WHEN WORKING WITH AUSTIN.

  • When I think about the most influential figures in my life, the first people that come to mind are my parents, of course. Right behind them is Austin Oberbillig. From the time I started working with Austin, he has been devoted to helping me grow as a person and as a businessman. He’s not the kind of guy who tells you to sacrifice everything in the search of a big paycheck. But he certainly will push you to work hard. He’s not the kind of leader who peeks over your shoulder to check your work. But he will give you more of his time and energy than you might even deserve. Austin has made an immeasurable impact on my life trajectory, and anyone who has spent enough time around this guy will say the same.

  • I became Austin's mentee back in 2018 and I've worked with him for close to 7 years now. I have really appreciated that his style of coaching is to ask questions to help me find the solution or create one that works for myself instead of just giving me a list of what to do; which really sets me up for success for the future. What I've loved most is becoming someone that he truly cares about versus just being a number on a spreadsheet. His attentiveness and care that he puts into working with me although he has lots of people counting on him has been incredible. Austin does a really good job of breaking down a big picture goal and idea into daily tasks. Working with Austin has truly changed the trajectory of my career.

  • What sets Austin apart from other leaders I have worked with is his level of commitment and care. He is a proactive coach, seeing “blind spots” in my business, pointing them out for discussion before I have known they existed. He goes deeper. More than accountability, Austin digs, peeling back the layers of my business, my approach, my challenges and my successes, questioning everything in a healthy way. He forces me to ask “why” several layers deep on a topic until a realization comes forth. Austin is arguably the most insightful leader who has ever managed me. I have gained measurable and immeasurable benefits from the time, energy and expertise he has poured into me and my business.
