This course is designed for a captivating and interactive delivery, tailored to the distinct requirements of participants and their respective companies. It incorporates trainer insights and tips throughout the sessions, along with individual and small group exercises, culminating in a comprehensive review of collective learning.

  • Understanding of contemporary selling practices, current market trends, and the business challenges influencing favourable customer choices
  • Mastery of essential tools crucial for positive business development
  • Proficiency in leveraging digital advantages, encompassing marketing and networking strategies
  • Formulation of a business development accelerator plan that prioritizes the cultivation of winning business and customer relationships
  • Knowledge of best practices vital for progress within your key accounts at every stage of the buying cycle

Who is it for?

The programme is suitable for experienced salespeople and business development managers who are responsible for accounts and want to improve their performance. For best practice, it’s also suggested that delegates have already completed the sales and key account management course or have the experience and knowledge contained within it.
