Thought you'd like to know that, though it wasn't specifically a cold call, more a warm one, I turned around an 'I'm too busy' rejection and secured an appointment this morning! Who says training never works?! Stacy Woodman - Akibia

day negotiation course extremely useful. The presentation, course content,
information pack and role-play sessions were all excellent. It was
fascinating to clearly see all the ploys and tactics and of course the need
for accurate planning.

advance.

Selling By Telephone I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the course “Selling by Telephone” the other week. I still have a way to go before I feel totally at ease with telesales, but I’m getting there. I have been working out my ratio’s and seeing the improvement since I first started. I’m starting to feel a lot more confident on the phone, I don’t always wait until the office is noisy or people have left, although sometimes I still do, but I feel like I’ve turned a corner and learnt so much.
Thanks again
Sales Master Class Well presented course with plenty of information. Excellent all round. Ayan Mitra

process Speaking on your Feet A highly enjoyable, well structured and informative course. Colin Radburn
An excellent and very informative course which I am sure will increase my

Speaking on your Feet An extremely well presented course that is certain to help me improve my presentation skills for me in the future. Alison Thorpe
Public Sector Sales
Deeply pragmatic, very realistic. I wish I had attended this course 18
months ago! I had an in-depth conversation with an existing customer a little earlier. Nothing major, just a ‘business in general’ kind of chat. I enjoyed recognising things during the conversation that I wouldn’t have consciously been aware of before the Sales Sense course. I felt like a businesswoman and not like a saleswoman. You can imagine how good I felt. AND…the conversation ended in 4 immediate purchase orders totalling 90K ! Dawn Powell
I found the course very informative and helpful and will hopefully be able to approach prospective customers in a more confident manner and therefore try and speak to the decision maker to make an appointment rather than just trying to obtain their names and send them marketing literature. Clive gave some very useful tips on how to get around the excuses people use to try and get you off the phone without using the aggressive sales pitch. Samantha Bowley
It was good to have feedback from other
people on the course and sharing of different sales approaches which work
for others. I was surprised at how smoothly the teleconference format
ran and that the participants actually did interact. Things I will
initiate include planning the call (having two approaches depending on who I
will speak to) and being more persistent. Sasha Jenson
The course was interesting and although much of the material was not new to me, it was presented very well and you always get something from a course even if it is only a reminder of what you should be doing and have probably forgotten. It would be a very good starter for new sales staff in my opinion. Neil Chapman
I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you
for last week's course. I found it really helpful. I've not had chance to
put it all into action as yet, as I was in Paris for most of last week, and
have been on holiday this week, but will keep you posted on my progress.
I'm sure the skills that I learned on the
Speaking on your feet training course last week will come in very useful in
my career and I am very much looking forward to my next opportunity to use
them.
Just a note to say thank you for a very concise
and constructive course. It made a lot of sense.
Just a short line to thank you.
It was not what I was expecting and that is good
because the course opened my eyes up to things I had not thought of before.
In my opinion it’s high level sales and it’s excellent.
The course covered far more than I expected it
to which is excellent. My only observation is that at times we could have
stayed with a topic a bit longer but this would have added another day!
This course met and exceeded my needs and
expectations. I feel I have learnt a new skill set and cannot wait to put it
into practice.
Thoroughly enjoyed the three days. Gained a
great deal of new ideas and realise now that sales can be extremely
challenging, but also extremely rewarding and satisfying. The course went
beyond what I had hoped to get from it – thank you.
Inspirational! I did not know how much I didn’t
know. You have a winning formula.
A lot of information to take in, but maybe
that’s inevitable with this type of course. The pace was good and the
instructor sympathetic to the needs of the people in the group. The
instructors style was very engaging.
A brilliant course. I must confess that I did
doubt that these three days would be the best use of my time, but I was
proved wrong. Very useful for novice and experienced sales people alike.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was insightful and challenging and I look forward to putting the learning into practice on my accounts. Robyn Davies
Relevant examples used throughout – didn’t feel you got something wrong – even if you did. Could learn from mistakes made. Team exercises very useful – shared knowledge plus different view points v. important. Abi Newell - Wheel
Extremely valuable information that we should be implementing daily on our accounts so it becomes second nature. This course has given me practical skills to expand from my accounts. Debs Heaphy - Wheel
This course offers an invaluable opportunity to stand back and look at all the factors involved in account development and pitching. It is also effective in highlighting areas of knowledge that you lack that can make you more successful. Fiona McCann
Have been on other sales courses that have been largely a monologue. Have much benefited this time from the interactive style of the trainer. Look forward to putting key actions in place within the footwear and leather team. Many thanks. Colin Wade
Refreshed a lot of old knowledge but added some gems in terms of new thinking not experienced on any other courses. Deborah Keay - Wheel
This was a thoroughly enjoyable and useful programme. I will use what I have learnt today in future presentations and public speaking situations. Lots of practise, demonstrations and drawing on personal experience made it memorable and fun. Clare Cole
It took the fear out of public speaking! It was a very fun day of learning an | |
