Director Debra Drew, a Dale Carnegie graduate, wanted to make sure that the team were supported through what was to be a rapid change programme, and that the current business did not suffer.

 

Initially three people attended the Leadership Training for Manager Programme to strengthen their management skills in order to allow the directors to focus on growing the business. The customer facing team were then put through a customised in-house Sales Advantage programme in order to equip them with confidence and a process to present their solution. Then four key people were selected to attend the Effective Communications programme which helped them to become masterful at building and strengthening interpersonal relationships.
