Meet Diane Ciotta…

By the age of 19, Diane Ciotta had already made history as the youngest store manager at any Manhattan-based company.

But for the next 12 years, as her retail and advertising sales career took off, she often witnessed colleagues selling with a lack of integrity. Even worse, in her own drive for success, she later found her own conduct wavering as she strained to reach her professional goals—earning commissions and gaining recognition—while vowing never to compromise her ethics. But then the day came when she defied her own belief in integrity, pushed too far—and lost her company’s biggest client. Then and there, she swore “never to make another sale based on my own needs, but rather on the needs of my clients.”

And it worked! After vowing to Sell with Integrity no matter what, advertising sales, sales management, and sales coaching for the publishing company where she worked went through the roof, and she piled up record revenues that remain unchallenged to this day.

Regaining her lost client with her change of focus, Diane began teaching integrity-based workshops for the entire sales staff. A year later, in 1989, she followed her entrepreneurial instincts and established Training Classics as a sales refinement company with a passion for encouraging sales executives to “sell based on their clients’ needs vs. their own.” As a result of her positive influence and numerous speaking requests, Diane has broadened her focus outside the proverbial sales training box and diversified her company to keynote for a variety of sales-minded audiences.

Diane’s philosophy for success has been featured online and in over 60 US magazines. She co-authored her first book, Pushing to the Front, with renowned motivational speaker Brian Tracy and has published her own book Shut-Up & Sell! a short, fun message about listening vs. talking for success in professional selling.

Diane was born and raised in Central New Jersey, where she still resides with her husband. She has two adult sons, a sweet daughter-in-law, and three precious grandchildren.

What people are saying…

“It’s remarkable to watch a group of seasoned sales professionals and first-time sales reps get so engaged in one of Diane’s sales refinement sessions! The room can be filled with people who have taken dozens of her courses as well as those who have met her for the first time, yet she has an acute sense of exactly what each and every person’s thinking, and answers questions before they’re even asked. Her knowledge and understanding of the sales industry is shockingly vast, and her high-energy personality helps her drive all of her points home with great efficiency.

“Away from center stage, she’s the model of moral perfection and will put nothing before her integrity and willingness to please others. Her warmth, patience, creativity, and never-give-up attitude are just some of her finer qualities that make her a fantastic speaker and highly regarded industry expert.”
—Justin Gerena, President, JB Multimedia
