EFSM Programme

The six-day programme is delivered over 12 months and is recognised by the Institute of Sales Management (ISM). Developed with Reed Consultants, this programme supports talented individuals to successfully manage a portfolio of customers, particularly those in the timber industry.

 

This programme is ideal for future Sales Executives who require a foundation of sales management techniques, skills and knowledge to be successful in sales.

Workshops & E-Learning

This programme involves both online and offline training.

 

There are four main workshops: Induction, Selling and Me, Deliverable Results (2 days) and Ultimate Sells. The programme will finish with a Profitable Portfolio Results Presentation & Awards. All workshops take place at The Holiday Inn, Coventry.

 

The online element of the course is split between e-learning and project work.

The project work is designed to form part of the delegate’s ‘day job’, with online tutorials and other activities which will average out at 1-2 hours of leaning per week.

“I had such a great day! I can truly say that is the best course I have been on yet!  Feeling very excited and determined about the course already!  Makes you feel excited about working in sales and the future it holds.“

Katie Turpie, Sodra

“An excellent session that really helped me look deeper into the workings of sales and better adapt my approach towards each customer. Sue was a fantastic tutor who really brought the session to life by engaging the class and giving us supportive feedback where needed – it’s a great opportunity to meet other students from across the trade too!“
