Picking a sales training company that can deliver training that is sustainable, measurable and practical is essential if you are to get a return on your training investment.

We offer a sales training price match policy that guarantees you will get the best sales training at the right price.

More important than price though we will work with you to make sure our training fits your specific needs and requirements. The importance of the right training is not something that is only recognised by Advance Your Sales.

Chris Humphries, CEO of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills has told the government that If investment in skills today does not match the UK’s future needs, we could be about to make the same recession mistakes as Labour did in the 1970s and the Conservatives in the 1990s.

Investing in the right skills now is the best way to ensure that 2010 onwards isn’t just a tough climb out of recession but a real opportunity for a profitable and successful future - and could be the difference between a long or a short recession.

According to a new study that covered over 1 million work teams, the best leaders are not excellent all-rounders, instead they are aware of their talents and how to use them to get the best results.

The research that included 30,000 in-depth interviews with leaders and workers found that good leaders do not possess a single common strength but there are specific characteristics that encourage people to follow them.

These include investing in the strengths of individual workers, people that are treated in this way are 8 times more likely to be engaged by a manager than those who are not.

Establishing a well-rounded team was also found to be essential because this allows leaders to make the best use of their skills. The research also proved the best managers understand their workers’ needs with people looking for trust, compassion stability and hope from their leader.

The above information should lead you to ask the question, Does My Sales Manager Need Some Additional Training?
