Is Face to Face Sales Training Back to Normal?

This last month has seen us reconnecting back to f2f training with real gusto and momentum.
It was a big, but I think important, decision to take for us as trainers and obviously a well considered step for the companies we were employed by.
With online training taking the place of classroom learning for almost 2 years I wanted to reflect on this last month and share some insights.
Talking all about the customer. A podcast with Rob Taylor and Danny&Co

I was pleased to be invited to The Answer Is Brand podcast with Danny Matthews of Danny&Co, where we discussed all things customer and how knowing your customer, really understanding what makes them tick, can only be a benefit to your sales results. Too often we see a whole group of people and assume, with no prior knowledge of context, that each of them is our customer.
This isn’t the case and we must become more of an expert solution for a defined group of people who we hope might one day become our customers. Just because it’s never been easier or quicker to speak to a mass of people doesn’t, and shouldn’t, mean that customers are ready to buy more quickly.
We talk about this in great detail in this podcast, I hope you enjoy it!

Let’s find out.
It’s really good to speak to Steve, it’s on a topic that we don’t cover that often, which is always nice.
So set that desk fan to the maximum. Get yourself a nice cold glass of water. And enjoy.
