The delegate sales in-house training certainly was productive and insightful too.

I think the entire team took away some great tips and techniques and I have recommended the training.

5/5. The course gave me a much clearer understanding of what I needed to do going forward to improve my performance! Objection handling was my main issue which I now feel more confident on.
