In this interactive training session, we will give you some tips and tactics on how you can refine and, in some cases, redefine how you will interact with your customers and prospects as well as grow your sales. You will learn how to create a post COVID prospecting sales plan that will contain a mix of activities appropriate for your business and market.

Projects could include such things as:

Access to company-specific support is governed by a set of guidelines that strongly promotes skills development within each company. Ask us how we can help your needs/ideas fit our criteria for funding.
