Training Theory
“ I have many strong beliefs about training. Firstly, I am passionate about making sure that any training course I deliver is relevant to my audience and the sales challenges they face. I always aim to find out as much as possible about a client’s business before I embark upon a training course. Secondly, I believe that training should be both fun and interactive and that the exercises should be relevant to delegates and their role and industry. Finally, in order for training to be useful going forwards I ensure that delegates leave with some form of Business Development Plan, which includes a commitment to action following the course."
