Training Programmes

We have a unique range of 'skeleton' training programmes that we tailor to your needs and we also design completely bespoke. We are committed to designing experiential and interactive programmes that are reflective of real business needs and which motivate delegates to learn.

We design programmes using brain friendly techniques that aid application and memory recall. Our programmes all include one to one follow up coaching to personalise the learning and maximise results back in the workplace.

Here's few of our most popular programmes:

The TeamVention Challenge great for business development and change management

Sales Motivator for sales managers
Sales Achiever covers the full sales process, from prospecting to closing skills. It's useful for business owners and recently appointed sales personnel to establish a minimum quality standard for sales.
Sales Accelerator is for experienced sales professionals to take their skills to the next level. It includes advanced communication and linguistic skills from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Sales Motivator is for Sales Managers or anyone in a sales role who needs to know how to lead and motivate teams to achieving sales targets.

Psychometric Profiling

Using Psychometric Profiling as part of the recruitment process can help to avoid costly mistakes by employing the wrong people - and conversely help improve results by employing the right people.

Recruitment is a costly process. If more businesses calculated the true cost of loosing good people with knowledge and expertise they would surely put more effort into motivating and retaining them.

We use The Language & Behavioural Profile (LAB) from NLP and DISC Profiling in 3 primary ways:

In coaching to provide the foundations for development and to help raise self awareness.
In recruitment to profile the requirements of a role and to find the right candidate match at behavioural/personality level.
To raise awareness of the needs of different 'personality' types, improve relationships and resolve personality conflicts.

Coaching

The relationship between coach and client is unique in business. There are subtle and important differences between coaching and consultancy or training, although all of these skills may be used in one of our coaching programmes. Our philosophy is to get our clients where they want to be as quickly and effectively as possible, learning as much as possible along the way to benefit them in the longer term.

A choice of coaching programmes are available, and one-to-one coaching is included in our sales training programmes as standard.

Our coaches are all professionally trained at a credible coaching school and continually invest in their own development.
