We will then design a bespoke course specifically for your company, to ensure the training meet your companies requirements.

6. The sort of course I want isn't listed; can you still offer me the training I want?
We fully understand that each company is different, and so has different training requirements. We can design bespoke training courses to meet your exact requirements.

7. I know I want training but don't know what skills I need, can you advise me?
Perhaps your colleagues or manager can help you to decide which areas of your skill set could benefit from training. If you have recently changed jobs, or been promoted, you may be expected to have or learn new skills. Whilst some of our courses are self-explanatory and suitable for specific jobs, other courses are suitable for many job roles in many industries. Just because you are a manager or a sales person, it doesn’t mean that you couldn’t benefit from financial, administrative or telephone skills. Ring us on +44 (0) 1704 889325 or email us and let us help you decide the training that would be most beneficial to you.

11. How much do companies spend on Sales Training?
Most companies do not spend enough on Sales Training because if you engage in good sales training it should give you a pretty quick return on your investment (ROI). Most companies with sales people don’t spend anything at all and those who do only average out at £100 – £200 per head every 2 years!
12. How much does Sales Training cost?
An average price for an in-house bespoke course, allowing up to 15 delegates is £1500 per day, a course would typically be 2 – 3 days. A public course would cost about £600 – £900 per 2 days per head – this would not be bespoke.
13. How to develop a Sales Training program?
The company and the training company need to liaise and discuss issues such as: What are the roles of the sale staff?. How do they interact with clients? What are they doing well? What needs improvement? Information on products and industry. Then the training company should be able to write a bespoke course offering company specific content and case studies.
14. What are the best Sales Training courses?
The best Sales Training courses are those which are in-house and bespoke to the client’s needs, products and services. Highly interactive and fun!
15. What are the objectives of Sales Training?
The objectives of Sales Training are to help delegates prospect for new clients, book appointments, build rapport, identify client’s needs, handle objections, close the sale, after service, up and cross selling, selling over the phone / face to face / web. Maintain customer service.
16. Why Sales Training fails
Sales Training fails when it is not bespoke to the needs of the delegate, it is not interactive and doesn’t give delegates the confidence to change their behaviour.
17. Why Sales Training is important
Sales Training is important because it increases your sales and helps retain good sales staff.
