A Note From Greg Bennett

 🐸 Welcome to My Ugly Pond Sales Training & Coaching Dojo!

The Ugly Pond is what I call my unique approach to sales—born from a concept I developed years ago and taught to thousands of sellers worldwide. Now, I'm offering select coaching for individuals and teams, as well as self-guided online courses, all designed to transform the way you sell.


If you're looking for something real—something that rewires how you sell, influence, and close without losing your soul—you just found it.


For 35 years, I’ve taught my ‘Going to NO’ concepts to thousands of sellers, consultants, and business owners who want results without acting like the disingenuous, high-pressure sellers we all hate.


My training is inspired by how psychiatrists control difficult conversations and high-stakes moments—and I’ve translated those insights into the sales world.


It’s bold. It’s honest. It’s everything sales training should have been all along.


Hop in and join the revolution!
