Where we come from and where we're going

Where do we come from? How did we start? Where are we going?

All valid questions for a company to share, at the same time, we don’t believe we’re similar to most other companies.

Our origin started years before we opened our doors for business. We started as an idea with little understanding of what the “right path” was, but we understood we wanted to help and serve others.

We had an opportunity to work in the direct sales industry which taught us the art of communication and self-management, and thus, CLG leadership was born.

WINNING

CLG first opened its doors in Virginia Beach working with a major telecommunication client and within 2 years tripled in size and expanded to markets such as Knoxville, St Louis, and Nashville.

At CLG our passion is seeing our client’s customer base grow while developing future managers for their brand. With this is mind, our goal is to grow and expand into 10 more markets come the end of 2025.

OUR MISSION

...to be the catalyst of personal & professional development; to build an empire of great leaders through positivity, work ethic, and the drive to create success in individuals and the team.

This, our team, is what will enable us to generate results for our clients and grow into new markets across the nation.

We conduct face to face sales for our clients providing upward mobility and longevity for motivated people to get ahead in their career. That is pretty much it.

To provide people an opportunity, regardless of background or prior experience, that they can grow professionally and personally within a positive environment.

“I truly believe that the most important skills I’ve gained from working entry level into my current CEO position is the importance of effort, attitude, and my own student mentality.”

Simple. We represent AT&T in large big box retail locations and we sign up new and existing customers. We rely on a law of average sales system because it is so simple we are able to teach a large variety of skill-sets like self management, sales, communication skills, resilience, attitude maintenance/mental toughness.

Again, this is all learned from the sales portion of what we do.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

CLG Nashville provides a positive, professional, and thorough sales force that bridges the gap between large companies and their customers. Our goal is to provide our clients with great results with a ton of integrity. We have built an organization dedicated to growing our clients’ new and existing accounts, while simultaneously, developing our team into professional business leaders.

JOIN OUR FABULOUS TEAM
