LEADERSHIP TESTIMONIALS

"I had the pleasure of reporting to Shawn Pariseau who was my Retail District Manager during my tenure with Xplornet Communications as a sales associate. 

Since he was working directly from our store location, I was able to witness first hand his exceptional leadership on a weekly basis. 

Shawn routinely went above and beyond by taking the time to provide mentorship; coaching and life advice that helped mold me into a better person. 

Sharing his invaluable telecom sales strategies, we significantly raised our store's NPS scores and customer loyalty through kindness and reciprocity.
Focusing on goals, routines and targets, I was able to hit salesman of the month in October 2019 with Xplornet. 

He would often take the time amongst his busy schedule to walk the floor, share his insights into his personal and professional life; and help level up the team's morale.

Shawn's unique style of hands on professional development and high level sales insight makes him one of the best leaders anyone could ask for."
