‘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.’
J.B. – CoStar
‘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.’
D.L. – Bernard Group
To succeed in sales you must really want the business. This sounds obvious, but it is much deeper than it appears. Giving your customer the impression you will go the extra mile, you really want their business can be very persuasive. Think about your own experiences. Time and again if people have gone to great
People buy people first, and whatever else second. This is one of the timeless principles of selling and it hasn’t changed in today’s hybrid world. If people don’t feel they can work with you, if they don’t feel comfortable or trust you, they will usually not tell you – but they will buy from someone else.
In response to the pandemic selling has changed, perhaps forever. Virtual sales meetings are now being used by almost everyone. Surveys confirm many buyers prefer it. But this poses the question – When everyone is selling on screen how can you stand out and differentiate yourself? What is best practice?
