Las Vegas, NV — August 4, 2025 — Janek Performance Group, a global leader in sales training and performance improvement solutions, proudly marks its 20th anniversary. Since its founding in 2005, Janek has remained steadfast in its mission to help organizations sell more effectively, a vision born from a desire to elevate the profession through proven methodologies, practical strategies, and meaningful client partnerships.
Founded by sales performance experts Nick Kane and Justin Zappulla, Janek has grown from a passionate consultancy into a globally recognized name in sales training. The firm has earned its reputation by delivering measurable results for clients across industries, including financial services, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing.
“We started Janek because we saw a real need in the marketplace,” said Nick Kane, Managing Partner and Co-Founder. “Sales professionals weren’t being supported with the right tools, processes, or coaching to consistently succeed. Sales organizations lacked the right processes and technology to maximize their sales performance. Our goal was, and still is, to bridge that gap by empowering sales teams with practical, research-backed skills and strategies that drive performance.”
Over the past two decades, Janek has reached significant milestones that reflect its growing impact and industry leadership. The company has trained more than 250,000 sales professionals from over 1,500 organizations and has consistently earned top honors and accolades from leading industry bodies. Many enterprise-level companies have made long-term investments in Janek’s training programs, drawn to a modular learning model that is both highly adoptable and customizable across diverse industries, languages, and selling environments. This broad applicability, combined with the firm’s emphasis on delivery excellence, underscores the strength of Janek’s methodology and the lasting results it produces for clients.
Janek has also continually evolved to meet the changing needs of modern sales organizations. One of the company’s latest innovations, JeniusCC, is a cutting-edge AI sales coaching ecosystem designed to deliver personalized, real-time sales enablement at scale.
“We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished over the past 20 years,” said Justin Zappulla, Managing Partner and Co-Founder. “But we’re even more excited about what’s next. JeniusCC is just one example of how we’re continuing to innovate to meet the demands of today’s sales landscape. Our commitment to improving sales effectiveness has never been stronger.”
As Janek marks this milestone, the company remains dedicated to its core mission: helping sales organizations achieve lasting success through skills development, strategic guidance, and a client-first approach.
