A Virtual Company - Good value training for you
We are what's fashionably becoming known as a virtual company. That is, we're big in terms of resources, but we don't have huge overheads. We don't employ our trainers or administrative staff, we don't have any premises or company cars (all our trainers work from home). And we don't advertise much either, because over 80% of our work comes from repeat business and word of mouth recommendations. All of this means the only thing you'll ever pay for is the training and expertise you receive.
by helping you to improve your sales, build your customer base and grow your business. Plus reduce your costs by improving staff retention and reducing absenteeism, customer complaints, mistakes and staffing issues.
We do this by training your leaders, managers and teams in over 50 different business soft skill courses that directly affect your bottom line. Courses on 'sales', 'keeping valued customers', 'recruitment & interviewing skills', 'debt collection by telephone', 'motivation & delegation', in fact anything to do with people in business, we can help.
Usually we train or facilitate programmes in-house either at your premises or a venue of your choosing. From tailored 1, 2 or 3 day courses to more bespoke programmes we always listen to what you need and work with you to provide the most effective training solution possible. We can be flexible with our timings too - if you need to accommodate shift patterns or avoid busy periods.
We may also be able to help you if you need project work, such as carrying out

' as we can manage. Our trainers draw on elements of NLP, Accelerated Learning and Emotional Intelligence as well as life, career and business experiences to create an approach that is as motivational, inspirational and fun as it is content-rich, practical and behaviour-changing.
We find that adults learn best and, perhaps even more importantly, transfer that learning into tangible behaviour and performance improvements, when they are allowed to go all the way around Kolb's Learning Cycle i.e. experience, observations & reflections, insights, implications & applications. Therefore, everything we do helps learners do just that.
