Training and Mentoring from an expert you can trust
Training your team with the tools to excel
Leading effective and engaging sessions with your team to help them build skills, adopt new approaches and buy into your strategies.
A plan is only as strong as the team executing it. All too often, any kind of business activity falls down when expectation and effort don’t match up, when it’s not clear how to achieve set goals. I offer engaging training sessions to equip your people with the skills and understanding to expand your network, engage with a wider market and grow your peoples skills – in short, making sure they have what they need to achieve your plans.
The sessions are completely bespoke, built around your team and full of personality. I don’t run the same session again and again, but use real examples relevant to your business. I consult with the managers to see what it is that they need delivering and this results in training that your people really need, not just another off-the-shelf training programme.
As much facilitation as training, these sessions help you structure your new business and sales activities – building a plan on proven techniques and measurable activity. I’ll not only help you set a clear direction to follow and generate leads to pursue, but also bring a little sizzle to your standard sales processes.
It all starts with looking at your target market and the clients you need to identify, delivering key outcomes for your sales life cycle.
What it covers:
- Positioning your offer
- Target audiences
- Developing relationships – existing and new
- Identifying prospects and building larger networks
- A stronger sales toolkit
- Growing personal profile and company brand
- Setting activity plans within limited timeframes
- Measurement
I work with your teams directly, through Zoom/Teams sessions. It might take the shape of concentrating on an area such as LinkedIn. LinkedIn remains one of the most powerful business networking tools around. I’ll show your team how to make the most of it – from getting to grips with the basics of engaging with others and growing a network, to developing a consistent and coherent social media sales strategy.
We will cover many topics including building your reputation, groups and group management, LinkedIn for recruitment, competition analysis, daily motivation, personal growth and more – all backed up by real life practical exercises.
