Better Learning can Help your Training Budgets Stretch Further

Despite the rapid changes all about us, are you providing training for your staff as you have always done?  Same old, same old?  Do they have the skills they need to perform at the highest level possible? Last week we ran a jargon-busting webinar that looked at how the world of learning has changed, and [...]

Reaching Sales Quota More Consistently

Sales organisations in 2010 remain under economic pressure to accomplish more with less. Recent research from the Aberdeen Group, shows that companies who have implemented sales methodology, process and software from The TAS Group, typically win more often than those that don’t. It is not only TAS customers who see sales improvements.  Hopefully you are [...]

Selling at a Higher Level blended sales programme – only 3 places remaining

It’s been incredibly busy at Engleby HQ recently (a good thing).  So busy in fact that we’ve not been here to get all of the day-to-day things sorted out.  One such task is a post advertising our latest blended sales training programme, delivered in partnership with Sunderland Software City.

Selling at a Higher Level blended sales training programme, 6 minute interview

Confidence meet Motivation, Motivation meet Confidence

The link between Confidence and Motivation is facinating.  The power, strength and versatililty of the human mind.  Amazing.  I’ve written on this subject before, albeit in a rather abstract way. So much of the work I undertake as a sales trainer, coach, motivator is, at the lowest common demoninator, ultimately brought back to either improving, [...]

What would you like to hear?

This is less of a post on sales performance improvement and more of a request for your feedback so that this blog can grow and continue to be a useful resource. Last year I recorded five podcasts on topics ranging from Sales 2.0 (with Nigel Edelshain), Trigger Event Selling (two sessions with Craig Elias), sales [...]

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…

… or so the saying goes. In sales this can be true, however, I believe a little knowledge is generally better than none.
