Since 1983, Art Sobczak and Business By Phone Inc. have helped hundreds of thousands of professionals say the right things by phone to get more of what they want.

Our reputation has been built on providing common-sense, non-salesy, non-gimmicky conversational methods, processes and word-for-word instruction on how to use the phone to get through, get in, persuade, and sell.

In 2012 Art received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Association of Inside Sales Professionals for his contribution to the profession. His latest book, “Smart Calling,” hit Number One in amazon.com’s Sales category its very first DAY, was named Top Sales Book of 2010, and is now in its THIRD edition.

Here are the ways we have helped, and continue to serve sales professionals.
