‘I feel that I must congratulate you on the astounding training course you ran. After the course I was left with no doubt that the training provided real value for money and easily justified the time. The courses’ intensiveness, practical approach, structure and scope were incredibly effective.’.
I.R. – London Stock Exchange
‘I feel compelled to put in writing how outstanding this course is. It took the ‘myths’ out of selling and showed you instead a logical, common sense and workable way of winning business. Now that I am in a position whereby I need to develop and train others, I look no further than LDL.’
M.R. – Majestic Wine Warehouses Ltd
‘LDL is the perfect development partner for us... the quality of their trainers is second to none. Without recruiting any more staff, we brought in more revenue in the first four months of this year after the training than we did in the whole of the year before we partnered with LDL.’
A.T. – Specsavers
‘For the first time, my ideas and thoughts on management and leadership have been brought sharply into perspective… I gained more insight into this fascinating subject in two days of the course than in the last 15 years of ‘experience’ in management or leadership roles.’
M.S. – Financial Times
‘I have now heard from each of the managers who attended the course and the comments have been extremely positive. One individual in particular sighted it as the best course he has attended in over 20 years of working for Lloyds Bank. High praise indeed.’
M.O’L. – Lloyds Bank
‘Employees feel more involved and passionate about the business than ever before and that’s reflected in our business results. LDL’s help in developing our people and processes enabled us to make twice as much profit as anticipated… LDL’s trainers are the best I’ve ever encountered.’

‘Presenting to any audience of nearly 200 people can be daunting but add the complexity of 16+ cultures and languages and you have a real challenge. LDL met that challenge and then some! I really appreciate your dedication and total professionalism and in many ways view you as part of the team.’
F.M. – Progress Software
‘I truly believe that if we are able to implement even half of the principles and strategies you covered then it will have an extremely positive effect on our business. Most of all, thank you for making it fun. Glad to see you still consider that the most effective mood for learning.’.
A.M. – Bupa
‘We routinely send our sales staff on the ‘Professional Selling Skills’ course, and having attended this myself I can say with total candour that the course and follow up material was exhilarating, instructive and head and shoulders above anything comparable in my experience.’

The great philosopher Mike Tyson famously said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Well, Covid has been a punch in the mouth for many of us. It has made leading a team harder than ever before. How do you lead when you can’t see your people, when you have reduced incentives, constant change and many other challenges?
As an experienced seller you will know how important it is to sell the difference to your customer. To succeed in a competitive market, where products and services are becoming more alike, you need to know what your differentiators are and how they benefit your customer. Often referred to as USPs, these differentiators exist in
Traditional face-to-face (F2F) training has always been the default option for learning. It’s engaging, it’s interactive, and done well it’s enjoyable. But in today’s environment it’s difficult.
