Designed to be held with your whole team, these judgement-free sessions enable your salespeople to get real about what is helping them and what is blocking them from delivering fantastic demos and sales meetings. Lack of product knowledge? Complicated pricing? Poorly qualified leads? Show stopping features? Let’s hear about it! The first part of the day is spent focussing on what works well and what could be improved. Keeping clear of solutions, we’ll make sure everyone is in the picture about the current state of play. After lunch, we’ll focus on developing a plan of action. How can your team make the most of what is already working, regularly sharing their learnings and feedback with each other? Where we’ve identified challenges we’ll put them into groups. What can you fix, and who becomes accountable? What can’t you fix so need to carefully manage?
You and your team will come away with a clear plan of action that enables you to move forward with a shared dialogue about continuous improvement.
Prices start from £1500 for a 1 day workshop including 1-2 preparatory calls and a follow-up action plan.

Develop the skills you need to deliver compelling presentations and killer pitches. Overcome the anxiety of making yourself heard in meetings.
Rarely do people have an ambition to become an expert conference speaker or a compelling pitch presenter.
Often, these requirements emerge as a result of becoming a lead in a specialist field and a subject matter expert people want to hear from. Even when you know your topic, speaking at an event or presenting to key stakeholders can be daunting.
Earlier in my career I found myself walking into rooms to give sales presentations to potential clients all over the UK. Over years of working on my presentation skills and after much trial and error, I developed techniques that enable me to connect with the people quickly, putting them at ease and creating a dialogue that is open and honest. It enabled me to win millions of pounds in new business.
