Managers, team leaders and supervisors provide a vital link in delivering the organisation’s strategies, standards and expectations – managing the process and workload is just not enough nowadays.
Instead, managers need to be able to motivate their team, manage performance and change, deal with difficult people and be able to coach and develop their staff. Being a manager is an exciting, but often daunting prospect, offering challenge and opportunity.
Your style, energy and personal effectiveness have a major impact on your team’s ability to deliver successfully and positively. In order to be fully effective, you will need to consolidate your existing skills and acquire a new range of management techniques and strategies.
This one-day course will help you to develop your style, skills and techniques to meet the day to day challenges you and your team face and become a role model to your team.
The course is participative and highly practical, using a wide range of training and learning methods. You’ll come away with a better understanding of your role as a manager and the responsibilities this carries; understand your own approach to working with others and how this affects outcomes.
Participants are given the opportunity to share their own experience and ideas and those of others, to enhance learning.

The biggest challenge faced by every SME is that they don’t have enough leads coming into their business. The second is that when they do arrive, they aren’t always able to easily convert these leads into customers. This transformational session ran by Matt Sykes from Salescandance is designed to help you understand how to address those two problems. Selling is a fundamental business skill that is totally learnable and one that anyone can master. If you’re frustrated that your hard work isn’t bringing you the sales revenue you want and you’re looking to build and execute a proven sales process that will shift you towards Sales Success, this course is for you.
Aims:
Through a process of practical diagnosis, the delegate will get genuine clarity on areas of their sales process which is under-utilised and could be leveraged; at Salescadence we call this ‘latent potential’. Delegates will quickly recognise that selling is a ‘science not an art’, a process-driven activity where doing the right things, to a high standard and consistently beats any ‘magic words’ or complex closing technics that are no longer applicable in todays business environment.
Learning Objectives
Leave with a clear plan showing where and how you can improve your sales skills
Understand the benefits of measuring sales capacity and learn how to build sales capability
Get an insight into how Mindset & Attitude can help create predictable and consistent sales results
