Commercial Sales And Business Development Training
Experience our unique & highly effective sales training for all sales and business development roles.
Sales Training
We adopt a unique practice and feedback-based approach with the use of realistic simulated scenarios to drive self-awareness and develop new behaviours.
It’s our experience that competitive advantage is rarely gained by a product or service alone. The behaviours and commercial skills of a supplier’s sales people are often the main difference between winning profitable new business, and not.
But what makes something ‘compelling’ and ‘convincing’ in the mind of the customer or prospect? This is the key question, and being effective at doing this is one of the many areas of technique that separates great sales people and business developers from the rest.
So What Kind Of Training Does A Salesperson Need?
Well standard, traditional sales training simply doesn’t cut it. Theory based, large groups, lecture style with powerpoint just doesn’t work. What sales people really need is to practise scenarios that are real for them, and have the opportunity to try different approaches in a risk free environment in a way that they would never do in a live situation.
Our unique sales training methods offer exactly that, and radically change how sales people think and behave, and therefore how their customers and prospects react. Ultimately this results in a better conversion rate of new prospects, and better cross selling within existing customers, at higher rates.
Developing world class selling skills, whatever your environment…
PDW sales training courses seek to transform sales orientated behaviours in the specific sector and environment in which your business operates.
Whilst the foundational principles of effective selling skills are the same regardless of product or service, there are important nuances that should be taken into account.
So our sales training courses and programmes are highly personalised. They focus on those competency areas for each delegate that are most important and will deliver the biggest step change in sales performance and results.
- Consultative selling skills for general products and services
- Negotiation skills as part of the sales process, or as a standalone activity
- Professional selling skills and new business development within professional services

I often hear myself say “Great opportunity to use your PDW skills” – or, in shorthand, just “PDW!” This has been the most effective training I have done in my career – and to call it training downplays it.
Particularly good feedback from the team on all the practise sessions as this really brings the theory to life – and a great team helping to do that.
Good structure, very well facilitated and the combination of project and personal skills training meant that it was easy to see how the personal skills could be practically applied.
