The Sales Geek Academy has changed!
Our Chief Training Geek Jonathan Finch explains:
We are thrilled to launch the SalesGeek Academy™. Over the past few years our courses have proved really popular. However, they were ad hoc in nature and if you wanted to experience everything we had to offer then it would take years and thousands of pounds. That didn’t sit right with us!
At SalesGeek© we believe a great sales education is a right, not a privilege, so we wanted to offer everyone the opportunity to begin understanding sales the Geek way! However, the Academy has been designed to do more than just develop your sales skills. It’s about helping you grow in confidence, providing inspiration and forming an unmatched community of high performers. By the time you graduate from the Academy you will be equipped to lead and be able to provide huge amounts of value back to your organisation and clients.
How Does It Work?
The SalesGeek Academy is designed to create and develop the next generation of sales leaders. It comprises of five full days of sales training across the year to best fit in with your busy lifestyle. At the end of the year you will be equipped with essential skills to make a real difference in your business and improve your own sales practices.
Basecamp begins Monday 13th January 2020.
We’ve outlined below what you can expect from the courses and the key learning outcomes from each session. You can also find this information in the prospectus too.
