We believe our company can expand your business by implementing great sales programs as we train the front line! Currently, we serve the Family Entertainment Center marketplace which includes bowling centers, water parks, mini-golf, go-karts, skating rinks, and more. Our success is based on the fact that we can move quickly, we customize programs to suit individual companies, and our methods are proven and taught with passion and fun so that the results are serious and have “stickiness”!

We have worked at facilities all over the United States, and, in 2009, took an international leap and trained at the DEAL Trade show in Dubai. We’ve had the opportunity to be involved in education, key note presentations, and other training at more than 75 local, state, regional, and national trades shows and events.
Beth Standlee, Owner and President
When Beth Standlee isn't creating something new, she is recreating something else. Her energy is boundless and focused. That creativity and energy is the motivation behind the successful sales career that drives Beth to share her experience with others.
Beth’s sales experience has spanned more than 2 decades. In those 20 years, she has learned the know-how, know-when, and know-why of the exciting, evolutionary world of sales.
For the last 15 years, Beth has worked in the front line of sales management, consulted facilities across the country, and sold capital equipment to the entertainment industry where her annual sales were in the millions. Her focus has always been to create constant sales that are made easy through excellent customer service. She’s often a featured speaker at national and international trade shows and is a regular columnist, The Party Professor, for Replay Magazine. When you ask Beth why she started TrainerTainment, she’ll say, “Creating TrainerTainment has been the best way for me to continue to learn and share my vision of helping businesses grow great people, and, in turn, experience greater success. When it comes right down to it, selling is all about relationships, and helping people learn more about this process helps me know I’m doing what I’m supposed to do!”
Beth is married to her husband, Jerry, of 29 years, and has 3 grown children, Jordan, Amanda, and Leslie. beth@trainertainment.net
