How Mike's courses increase your sales and profit

Empowers your sales and marketing teams

All of the courses are designed to empower your sales and marketing teams to secure many more profitable, loyal customers and capture those that currently buy from rival suppliers.

Improves your customer retention

As you secure higher numbers of loyal, best-matched customers your retention rate improves. This reduces the need for your sales team to continually replace lost accounts and, instead, grow a more valuable customer base.

New sales recruits reach target sales faster

The sales planning helps new recruits focus their selling to win your best matched customers. You have fewer casualties. Essential when you promote your own staff into sales roles.
