We work with both new and highly experienced customer managers, helping and challenging them to develop powerful customer facing influencing behaviours & habits.

What we transform in our delegates

Key focus areas for negotitation training are completely bespoke, below are examples of the most prevalent behaviour and skill areas that a customer management programme would seek to transform for all delegates:

Self awareness of own behavioural ‘defaults’ and drivers, and understanding how these may be helping or hindering personal performance
Core customer management principles, including the golden rules of developing customer ‘advocacy’
Properly structuring customer meetings
Really getting to understand your customer’s organisation, and the key contacts within it
Agreeing relationship ground rules and principles with your customer contacts
Making compelling and relevant proposals, and not doing what most people do, brochure selling
Overcoming objections, concerns and challenges properly, including answering the ‘why you?’ question in a way that your competitors just won’t
Negotiating deals, contracts and terms with your customers
Reaching agreements and ensuring agreed actions happen

Your delegates may be looking to transform one, two or all of these areas, so whatever the need of your organisation and each of your delegates, we have the right solution.

Our unique approach to customer management training

The main focus of our unique workshop approach is on practise, practise, practise, with effective use of feedback from our team and use of high quality video. In short, people are learning by doing, applying principles that make sense to them, and receiving high quality feedback to help them to transform what they do.

It uses no slides, no large book of notes and no lecture style.

We use the powerful medium of film & video to enhance the experience for delegates who can see and hear themselves as others do. This facility provides many a ‘lightbulb’ moment for delegates as a result.

In short, to transform customer management capability and confidence, this approach can be ‘life changing’’, and many hundreds of delegates have described it as such.

Our workshops are typically one or two days

Workshops are typically in one or two day chunks and can be in isolation or as part of a broader programme that combines a number of different development solutions such as 1:1 coaching or E-learning.

Our final key differentiator is that we focus our efforts as much on the pre and post learning event activities as we do during the actual event itself. We have a range of solutions that maximises the likelihood of high levels of commitment before and purposeful application of action plans afterwards so as to develop deep and sustainable new customer management habits.

This is what our clients call…’negotiation skills training that works'

Talk to Us

I often hear myself say “Great opportunity to use your PDW skills” – or, in shorthand, just “PDW!” This has been the most effective training I have done in my career – and to call it training downplays it.

Vicky Sandry General Counsel

Particularly good feedback from the team on all the practise sessions as this really brings the theory to life – and a great team helping to do that.

Steve Howarth CEO

Good structure, very well facilitated and the combination of project and personal skills training meant that it was easy to see how the personal skills could be practically applied.
