In the majority of cases, we recommend a 2 or 3 day course, followed by an Embedding & Elevation event.

We also suggest that learners are encouraged to explore key principles and models, before their workshops, via our digital learning tools. Then when learners join us in the training room, the focus can be on practising key skills and sharing expertise and experiences. Digital learning is also there to support learners as they apply and embed new approaches in role, after their workshop.

2 Day

Our 2 day courses are fast-paced and dynamic, covering the full client relationship cycle from initial identification of leads through to conducting reviews. We also touch on key skills like negotiation, influencing, communicating and pitching.

3 Day

Our 3 day courses allow more time for discussion, demonstrations and practical exercises that help build delegates’ confidence and capability. In Business Development courses we cover skills like networking, lead generation and initial call techniques in greater detail. In Key Account Management courses we explore how to project manage and work with colleagues to ensure your client the best outcome, how to gain repeat business and gain new contacts within key accounts.
