Steve, thanks for the feedback. As discussed at the end of the last session, the workshops you joined cover the end of the sales process, these were possibly a little early for you considering your business and your current level of experience. The Fundamentals of Selling Masterclass on 5th Dec may be more appropriate for you.

Hope this helps and good luck with everything.
