So, small or large, our sales training consultants can advise you on the best training solution onsite or offsite for your business.

Founded in 1997, Sales Team Focus Ltd is a specialist UK-based consultancy dedicated to helping companies with their sales team performance improvement programmes. This covers the areas of sales team job profiling, individual & sales team training needs analysis, and the necessary sales team training & coaching that results from that analysis. Our findings and recommendations can be backed up, of course by in-field sales assessments where required. We also offer psychometric recruitment testing for sales teams to help recognise potential top performers and screen out those lacking in drive & motivation.

Using our training needs analysis to identify specific rather than blanket training needs, you and your company can substantially reduce training costs and gain from improved performance. But there are also massive savings to be made in the very expensive business of recruiting and retaining your sales staff in the first place. To give you an idea, try our ready reckoners here - WHAT YOU CAN GAIN and WHAT YOU CAN SAVE.

Our sales recruitment and selection services are therefore similarly comprised of a comprehensive range of services such as sales team candidate sourcing, recruitment response handling, sales CV and candidate screening and sales team group assessment days.

This means that our flagship Quality in Sales programme covers the whole range of sales personality tests, sales aptitude tests and online psychometric recruitment testing and assessment. All are available in modular format, with options including fully outsourced, a bureau service, as tools for in-house use, or in any combination of these to meet your specific needs. You can use us to avoid some of the common mistakes in sales management or to learn more positively about the recipe for success in sales, for example by knowing and planning for the difference between hunters v farmers.

Our website is also a handy resource with great content like sales articles on issues such as how to reduce sales staff turnover, sales team case studies with downloads of questionnaires and special offers. And, naturally, you can use it to contact Sales Team Focus Ltd so that we can help you to get the very best from all your sales activity.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing is pre-eminent in offering professional development and marketing and sales qualifications to enable organisations to drive growth and profitability, while improving both customer and staff satisfaction and retention.

Our Sales Training Programmes are second to none and bring you a comprehensive suite of subjects and locations so that both individuals and companies can maximise the impact of this new knowledge with the minimum of inconvenience - including learning online. Our website enables you to find a sales training course, be that the Fundamentals of Selling, Sales Management Skills or a Strategy and Plans Masterclass for Sales Directors. Or we can address your more specific needs with highly relevant courses like our Presentation Masterclass, Advanced Negotiation Skills or Leveraging Technology to Drive Sales Performance.

Through The CIM Academy, we are also able to offer you and your staff really meaningful and internationally recognised Sales Qualifications, ranging from the Certificate in Professional Sales Practice through the Advanced Certificate in Professional Sales Management Practice to the ultimate Intensive Diploma in Strategic Sales Practice - all tested qualifications enabling you to establish and prove your readiness for the challenges of sales and sales management.

Step one of thinking about how we can help you, however, might be to take advantage of our online Development Needs Analysis (DNA) tool, specifically designed to help you assess your sales team. You can see how development needs analysis works or consider why to choose development needs analysis through these links, or might prefer to look at development needs case studies like Royal Mail and E.ON.

On our website, as with The Institute generally, we back up all of these direct and specific benefits with an impressive Knowledge Hub for Marketing and Sales which covers areas like professional marketing and sales standards, delivered through the Marketing and Sales Standards Setting Body and lots of other market reports and marketing and sales information and library services. So please do contact The Chartered Institute of Marketing and let us help you to improve your sales and marketing professionalism.
