I really liked the interactive nature of it and the way we got involved from the beginning. It was also good to be able to use a relevant example as it enabled me to leave the course thinking how I could put what I had learned straight into practice. – What did you like most about this workshop?

Michael Raven – 06/27/2013
Personally I liked some of the phrases to challenge clients and also the email structure to send to the highest possible contact. I did however think as the course had consultants with a wide variety of experience from those new to recruitment to more experienced there were quite a few areas that those with no limited experience would really benefit from going into a bit more detail. – What did you like most about this workshop?

Again, I like the interactive nature of the workshop. The structure of the workshop really makes you think and gets you to question your own business and the way you currently do things - which definitely helps the learning process. – What did you like most about this workshop?
Our biggest issue is finding the initial leads. Once we get in front of a potential new customer, our experience and skills speak for themselves - but it is getting that initial appointment that we find most difficult. I think that some of that is due to internal processes not being as effective as they should be, and some of it is our inability to get through to the right person. – What's your company's biggest sales performance challenge?

I think the way in which each topic is explained and then we were encouraged to directly relate it to our company meant we were able to directly link the learning to our day-to-day experiences. I think the informal yet still professional manner in which the training was held helped encouraged us to discuss matters openly and honestly. – What did you like most about this workshop?
I am inspired to ask for customers feedback on our company as well as consider how I phrase questions in order to receive the most useful information from people (open questions). I will start to think about how selling is a process and what actions needs to occur at each stage in the process. I have already held the 'what motivates you' questionnaire with my team and learnt they all valued 'recognition' in their top 2 which reminds me to ensure they do receive recognition when deserved. – What are you going to do differently following the workshop?
