Bob Junke is the Founder and CEO of Adventace®, LLC. His vision was to create a global sales and sales management consulting firm whose objective would be to help clients create a successful proactive sales culture, where they are able to achieve results that are highly predictable, measurable, and capable of being sustained, even in down markets. To achieve this, he developed a methodology, supporting application, and change management system to help clients Create the High Performance Sales Environment®.

In so doing, Bob developed a complete holistic suite of integrated programs. He developed an Executive Leadership Program to help Executives drive sales culture through a top-down performance program. For sales managers he developed a program to help them master what Bob calls the “Four Pillars”™ of sales management: Opportunity Assessment, Pipeline Balance and Management, Development of Sellers and Managers, and Continuous Improvement. For sales people he developed a comprehensive suite of programs to aid them with account planning, opportunity identification and management, and the ability to effectively execute highly complex solution sales.

Bob brings his experience as a consultant, seller, sales manager, VP of Sales, General Manager, and CEO, to Adventace® clientele. He spent the past 20 years as a sales operations consultant, helping clients on a worldwide basis. It was during this time that the concept of the HPSE was first formulated and began its evolution to the system it has become today. During that time he worked with clients in North America, Europe, the Asia/Pacific Region, and South America. In fact, he assisted his clients with several worldwide implementations of sales and sales management programs. Some of those clients have included BMC Software, Cisco Systems, Computer Associates, CTG, Epsilon, Getronics, IBM, Logica, Progress Software, QAD, SunGard, Tandem Computers (now a division of HP), and Unisys. He has trained and consulted to over 20,000 executives, managers, sellers, marketing people, and consultants.
