After courses in the past, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it far exceeded my expectations. Renee was engaging and bright. The topics covered were concise and easy to digest. I especially enjoyed the information on networking and learning styles.
David was great, really insightful and experience. He tailored the session on the fly based on the needs and experience of the team. Great techniques for me personally to try and also for the rest of my team. I thought the sessions were great. A good mix of role playing and theories.
Lordien was a fantastic presenter. Her knowledge and the way she engaged with all participants was above and beyond. The two days sales course was beneficial to me as the content was easy to follow, engaging, very in depth. Lordien was understanding and able to share her own experiences. She helped me develop my own sales techniques. I found the in depth content and group work valuable.
Renee was very clear and to the point. Covered a broad range of methods. The course was very well set up and structured. I would definitely recommend this course, it opens the mind to different ways of processing information.
Naomi was knowledgeable with real hands-on experience. She is engaging and makes sense. A great opportunity to reflect on current skills, share the best practice and plan to move forward. Heritage Bank – Deb Parker
Matt was very engaging and was able to keep the whole room focused with great group discussions.
