Our Methodology

Stage 1

  • We get extensive onsite briefings from our clients to ensure that we align our interventions to their culture, requirements and strategic objectives.
  • Prior to the intervention, we interview key management and other stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the individual and team dynamics.
  • We conduct a “walkabout” or “field trip” to get a feel for the work environment and company culture.
  • During this process, all the required outcomes are clearly defined.
  • If necessary, the training content is customised to meet specific needs.

Stage 2

  • We conduct the training phase.
  • All training is practical, interactive and participative.
  • We keep the theory to a minimum and rather focus on practicing the new skills to effect immediate behavioural change.
  • Delegates prepare an action plan for implementation during Stage 3.

Stage 3

  • We facilitate short, focused onsite follow-up sessions to maintain momentum and further improve skill levels.
  • If necessary, we conduct onsite coaching and assist with the implementation of the action plans designed during phase 2.
  • We provide tools which hold delegates accountable for delivering the changes and sustaining the momentum.
  • In this way we ensure that our clients achieve measurable, sustainable improvements in people, productivity and profitability.

I wanted to THANK MARK for an amazing training session! It was a great experience and I can say I have already implemented the things that were discussed. Even after only a few days, it is already having a positive effect in my business. Mark truly is a great Teacher, and the way he went about things was exceptional. I have attended many, many training courses, and his is by far 1 of the best!

A summary of my experience with the Street Smart Selling Skills Online Course.
 
I’ve learned that sales is involved in every aspect of our daily life. I’ve learned to sell myself first and to be honest and true, to myself, and to people around you. Creating a win/win situation.

I liked the relaxaction and creative visualisation section, I see some benefits from that for sure. 

I liked the task list idea and have been using that regularly. 

It’s helped me understand the world of selling a lot better. There are definitely some sales people out there that would benefit from the structure that this course offers.

I loved the CD’s and the Webinars.
 
The course reminds one of simple things you might have forgotten about and also brings you back in alignment with what are the key focus points for being in sales.
 
Really enjoyed the course and loved being able to listen to the CD’s while driving to appointments. I am going to reread the course material again and continue to listen to the CD’s.
