Darren Rabie
Trainer, Speaker, Business Lead
With a passion for big business, Darren Rabie began his career as an entrepreneur over 20 years ago when he co-founded ‘The Results Group’, an outsourced lead generation firm for B2B Business. Holding a degree from the Ivey School of Business, Darren has always been a results driven individual, prompting him to excel in areas such as business development, process improvement, lead generation, as well as sales strategy and growth.
Throughout his time as an entrepreneur and business owner, Darren began taking on more speaking engagements at Corporate events throughout North America. He quickly became interested and well versed in topics pertaining to sales conversion, building a successful sales team, the art of selling, relationship building, and implementing corporate sales strategies. After 6 successful years where Darren assisted in tripling his company’s size and business; resulting in twenty-seven employees, hundreds of clients and over $2M+ per year in annual revenue, Darren decided it was time for his next venture.
In 2003 Darren sold his shares in The Results Group and founded ‘Focus’. Focus, a full-service management consulting firm, specializes in Sales Management and Customer Services training. With a plethora of business improvement tactics both in Sales and Client Services, Darren and the Focus team help medium to large scale business grow their skills and profits. Two unique and progressive initiatives Darren implemented at Focus are the ‘Rent a Sales Manager’ and Rental a Salesforce.com Manager, both targeted at B2B companies.
In 2018, Darren decided to make a change to his day to day corporate life, and devote more time toward his philanthropic efforts, as well as spend time with his family, particularity his 2 daughters. Darren sold his interest in Focus to his minority shareholders and began a new journey as a Business Trainer and Consultant.
Today, Darren is available for sales-related consulting, coaching, training & speaking opportunities.
On a more personal note, Darren hails from Cape Town, SA and has been living in Canada for over 15 years. In addition to having two amazing daughters, and raising a family, Darren loves to cook, is an obsessive tennis player, has a love of music and plays the guitar, and spends most of his free time working out, spending time outside and enjoying the simpler things in life.
