• Up to four half-day or two one-day sessions spread over several weeks or delivered consecutively
• Post session exercises, practise assignments, and reviews reinforce learning and help establish best practice habits
• Tools, templates, frameworks, and examples act as aid memoirs, save time, and aid adoption of best practice methods
• Managers have more time to focus on results because they have less need to fulfil the role of coach and trainer
• Increased job satisfaction reduces sales staff churn, increases performance, and reduces costs
• Wider adoption of best practice behaviours, habits, and methods increases sales productivity, consistency, and results
