I recently arranged some in-house training with The Media House which was excellent. If you are looking for some specific sponsorship sales training then I can’t recommend their course highly enough; very valuable for both seasoned and fresh BDMs (all my guys raved about it).

Thanks for a great training session. It was extremely useful, and gave me a lot of insight. I used a few tips from yesterday’s session in my meeting this morning and will hopefully have some positive news from the client next week.
