“What’s in it For Me, (WiiFM) if I go to your event?” Insightful Speakers? New Products? Networking? Knowledge? Quirky Location? Entertainment? Where will I park? Where is it? What’s it near? Where’s the entrance? Is there a Door Greeter? Are there enough staff to talk with me? Will I feel welcome? Can I network? How does networking happen?
Workshop Reviews
People can be sceptical about sales coaching. It conjures up all sorts of images - and memories of ‘how to’ sales sessions which often bore no resemblance to reality.
The talk given by James was the polar opposite of this. He drew on his immense personal experience and on his knowledge of sociology to give down-to-earth advice on how to approach the sales process. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, however the talk was fascinating and gave me new insight into the process. Looking around the room I could see that everyone - from pro salespeople to novices - were listening intently and I think everyone there took away several nuggets of information on sales and how to sell without all the fluff

Business Services
"I have known James for 18 years and will attest to his honesty and transparency in all his business and personal interactions. He is passionate about helping individuals and businesses to achieve their very best performance in all areas of endeavour.
I particularly recommend him to small business owners who experience problems with promoting their B2B and B2C engagement.
There are no fancy and expensive glitter marketing packages that rely solely on your sales target’s reaction to advertising.
James will provide marketing techniques specific to your business that work and will train your staff to fully support the aims of the business in all aspects of their work – a truly top-to-bottom-and-back approach that achieves uniformity and harmony in the workplace, and results, to whatever level you desire."
