What We Do
Sales Training Solutions
Proven selling and presenting methodologies that equip people not only with what to do, but how to do it. Workshops are delivered in both workshop format and virtual training format where state of the art webinar design, facilitation and technology platforms are used.
Post training reinforcement, sales tools and video podcasts ensure effective sales behaviours are imbedded in the field.
Sales Coaching
One-on-one executive coaching is offered to leaders who want to tackle the critical issues that are most important to their success. And that includes stepping up their capacity to lead and get results with and through other people. Through the power of the phone, web or in person coaching conversations, we support leaders to develop the best practices, behaviours and strategies that will inspire and develop their people to create outstanding results.
We offer group coaching for sales people to get focused on high pay off activities that are “closest to the money” and to tackle the barriers that are in the way of success.
