People learn by doing not sitting in class rooms discussing sales theories. Furthermore, without an opportunity to practice a new skill, salespeople will lose the skill within 30 days. We use a training methodology called “work based learning” which helps salespeople learn while they are working. We do this by creating sales campaigns and working with your team to implement them. We typically achieve:
- Up to 90% higher adoption of new skills
- A proven system to follow for everyone in the company
- Deeper integration between sales and marketing
- Increase in overall sales productivity
- Motivating goal setting strategies with personal action plans for everyon,e
All our training is delivered via the “work based learning” model. This means that we work with teams in advance to set up live sales campaigns in order that participants are given opportunities to use the new skills they are learning.
This model ensures that attendees retain as much of the information as possible. We run this in parallel with our live pipeline coaching which helps participants convert existing deals they are already working on.
This course can be delivered:
- On site as a two day bootcamp (dependant on Covid restrictions). Minimum 5 people and additional travel charges may apply.

Option 3 – the open classes run every month and are restricted to 12 participants to ensure classes are not overcrowded.
In addition, we do not allow more than 3 participants from any one company so the session time is never dominated by one organisation.
Should you require more than 3 places we are happy to schedule a separate online class at no extra charge.
Sales Reps leave our courses energised with new ideas, strategies and tactics but often additional questions can arise where they need a sounding board. We provide post course support through our Sales Coaching Platform built inside MS Teams where members can ask questions, via chat, mail and conferencing calls.
