Let’s talk about your course
Enquire nowIn this age of information overload, sales and business development professionals need to be able to write in a way that cuts through the clutter with a refined and engaging offering.
Winning business is more than bids and tenders. But from prospecting emails to customer retention – and many of the touch points in between – your team’s writing skills are still central to your key growth activities.
This practical course will show your team how to approach new prospects, establish and maintain relationships and outline your solutions by email. They’ll learn how to use clear and appropriate language to efficiently demonstrate the unique, discernible value you can provide.
If it fits your strategy, we can also include modules on writing thought leadership, pitching and presenting and using social media in the sales process.
A key feature of this course is that all delegates receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets the delegates’ precise writing needs, while ensuring delegates make rapid, targeted improvements.
We can run this course remotely online or in person at your workplace or choice of venue.
