"Jeff Shore has made an impact on our community. After he spoke here people actually walked away changed. Several people returned to their offices and made immediate and lasting changes. Others renewed their commitment to doing what’s right even if it’s not easy. Why? Because Jeff’s message hits home. It is a message that is timely and relevant. Jeff is authentic, delivers his message with raw honesty, and at the same time is greatly entertaining. Our community spent an hour riveted to their seats to hear what Jeff was going to say next. And it changed our world."
"What I like most about Jason Forrest's approach is that he fearlessly tackles the real challenges that we face on a daily basis, and it's my belief that learning how to deal with these challenges is what will separate the good salespeople from the great salespeople."

Jason grew up under the influence of his father (a business owner and professional salesperson), his mother, (a persuasive speaking professor), and Zig Ziglar (his Sunday school teacher and world famous salesperson and motivational speaker). He was an all state football player in high school, and graduated with a degree in psychology and an MBA in marketing. He went on to sell financial services and real estate before leading the sales development department at MDC Holdings/Richmond American Homes as the national director. These influences and experiences shaped Jason into who he is today—a salesperson first, a trainer on a mission, a national speaker, and a coach who pushes sales organizations to become the best version of themselves.
Jason Forrest is a salesperson first and foremost and understands sales by selling rather than observing. With a professional salesperson/ businessman for a father and a persuasive speaking professor for a mother, selling is in his blood.
Jason comes from a line of salespeople and sold his first diamond at eight years old in his father’s jewelry store. At family reunions, they tell sales stories. It’s the Forrest dynasty. Unlike some sales trainers who are performers or orators first and salespeople second (if at all), Jason is a salesperson to the core.
Jason takes his “Creating Urgency” message and delivers it in a way that leaves audiences across the country both spellbound and challenged. For an SMC, a builder show, or for a company event, Jason Forrest delivers!
Tapping into his vast research on the subject, Jason speaks as the true authority on the subject, as he systematically challenges people to re-think old traditions and to look at the sales process from the homebuyer’s eyes.
Jason’s revolutionary concepts are complimented by his ability to grip audiences with stories that are both poignant and relevant to their experience. SMC’s and builder shows around North America have shared the same response: “We're bringing Jason Forrest back!”
