Selling by Telephone Just thought I'd drop you a line to say thanks for the last few days training. I found it really helpful and am spending some time this afternoon preparing some strategies to help with the cold-calling. 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

learnt so much from the presentation course last Wednesday and Thursday.
Already using the ideas for a presentation next year.
Thank you Amish Patel
Mastering Negotiation I found the 2
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.
Selling Through Resellers Comprehensive slice, covering key elements of cold calling. I will implement a better script and look more closely and feature/benefit set of our product. Phil Croxford - US Robotics

Experience is something you don't have until just after you needed it. This
course and the experience of Andy Haigh helped gain the experience in
advance.
Sales Master Class Overall, a well organised, insightful and extremely productive course. Relevant course material full of rules that can be taken straight into practice. All handled expertly by a fantastic tutor. Paul Burton
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

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 and made me realise that presenting is a structured and rehearsed process. Christine Davis
Excellent – small groups meant quality practice time without being over faced by a large audience. Excellent forum in which to practice skills. Gienn Dale
Never a dull moment. The lessons learned are relevant to other aspects of life – great benefit. David Ogden - Esteem
This course has helped me understand my fears of presenting. I feel this will bring dividends in the future. Nick Egginton - PCS
It has really given me much to think about when performing presentations, but more importantly, it has given me more tools for my sales role in Esteem. Neil Crispin
The small group and video feedback made the two days training very enjoyable. I have learned a lot, now it’s time to put it into practice. David Mallinson
Excellent course, have learned a great deal. I have also left with personal targets and development which will continue after the course. Rebecca Ford
This has been one of the most important courses I have attended because it has enabled me to conquer my worst fear and believe in my own ability. I only hope I can put this all into practise. Vicky Barry
I really wasn’t looking forward to it as I saw it originally as a waste of a day. Now though, I realise that it has enhanced my skill set far more than any other method course I have undertaken. Well done and thanks. Neil McGuiness
I really enjoyed the chance to hear other opinions. It made me think about what I am trying to achieve. The course leader was humorous and listened to everyone. Sara Flanagan
Very useful and informative. Good ideas and reasons put forward. Good emphasis on preparation, which I think is going to be a key aspect in future calling. Lynette Kemp
Everyone should go on this course. Extremely informative and useful. Fiona Murray
Anna Trett - Memec
I have personally learned some useful tools to help in my approach to gain new business, especially in ‘calling high’. Debra Beckwith
I was expecting this course to be tedious and mainly irrelevant but it wasn’t. It exceeded my expectations and I’ll try to make use of it. Nick Zywicki
Motivating, precise, stimulating, intelligent justification of all processes. Very good. I enjoyed the psychology of the education as well. Mark Perry
This course has been of extreme enjoyment and benefit. I can’t wait to use what I’ve learned on a daily basis! Salome Jouan - Imago Micro
Following my attendance on your SalesSense course last week, I would just quickly like to thank you for an enjoyable 3 days. Having been selling for 11 years now, you tend to get a little complacent about sales skills. I must admit when David informed me I was to attend the course I did have some mixed feelings. I must say however, you have sparked some new ideas that I will be trying, and on the whole I found the course very very interesting. I will be reading through the course booklet every now and again just to remind myself. Mike Walker - Esteem
Just to let you know that we very much enjoyed our course last week, which was both constructive and educational for all four of us. Derek Douglas - IRMC
Thank you for your professional handling of yesterdays` training course, which received the most positive of responses - an enjoyable & instructional day. My guys will have an early opportunity in the US, to put into practice what they learned and I will give you feedback. Don Fletcher
I was sceptical about attending another presentation course as I do a lot of presentations and thought I was quite good. Whilst I might have been 'quite good', as a result of attending I am now far better! Richard Doyle - Esteem
Many thanks for two stimulating sessions with
the CNT team. Every one of the guys has commented how useful they found both
sessions.
I thought your 'speaking on your feet' course was excellent last week. It might be hard to detect in my efforts but I found the course most valuable and full of useful info'. No doubt in time it will work it's way into much improved presentations. There was much food for thought and it served my purposes well. Hugh Firth
Many thanks again for such a great course, it has truly changed my entire perspective on selling and given me the confidence and tools to dive head long into securing more business for my company. I did my first deal yesterday the client signed
in front of me.
Thank you for a great course today and
yesterday! We all learnt a lot and enjoyed it very much! Our department is
getting much closer to success and next time we meet it is reality thanks to
you!
Thanks for a great couple of days. I just used
some of the material with a couple of my sales guys - they got as much out
of it as I did. It's going to make a positive difference in the way we work
with our resellers.
I think everyone benefited greatly from the
experience. Olli has been very successful presenting his work to a large TV
company, and you should see the project live in June. Patrick is currently
with a very large rail company in Denmark and I'm hearing good reports. So
thank you again, I think your
As practice plays such a large part in developing presentation skills, I was a little sceptical about the value I would get from Sales Sense's course. However, I found it trod a careful path through theoretical overviews, helpful tips and practical tasks in a solid framework which left me feeling very confident about presenting in the future. Every presentation given by a participant on the course was filmed. This gave each person instant visual feedback on their strengths and weaknesses and allowed them to see how they had improved over the day. The course also tackled some of the more psychological aspects of presenting by addressing some of the reasons why people fear speaking in public. Not only did this give the participants a useful insight into the factors that trigger a nervous reaction, it also armed them with simple techniques for overcoming their nervousness. I was very surprised by how much ground was
covered by the course. The practical tasks were carefully planned so that
after only five presentations, I felt as though I had covered a kaleidoscope
of presenting challenges. I certainly got a lot out of the course and I am
reassured by the artillery of techniques that I now have to fall back on in
the future.
Thank you for your help with our reseller conferences in Sweden and the UK. As we had not tried skills training at our reseller events before, we were a little apprehensive about the outcome but decided to try anyway. In the event your presentation skills training was extremely well received and I write to pass on very positive feedback from participants. From our perspective the training was and outstanding success. Your customisation of the course to address the particular needs of our resellers staff was most effective. The effort you made to learn about the participants was apparent to them. Many comments reflected their appreciation of training that dealt with the presentation challenges of their roles. Value was also attributed to the wider ranging topics such as creativity. Many of the ideas and methods presented are being applied in other areas. Your post course material in the form of a
colourful pocket handbook has also received much praise. It makes a change
to have notes in such an easily accessible form. As you can tell, we are
very pleased with the training results and I will happily tell others about
our experience.
