Group Coaching - Helping you cultivate, win, keep and grow business
We design and deliver workshops, stripped of jargon, on a variety of customer-centred topics. Supporting businesses in developing the mindset, skills and behaviours that lead to improvements in their competitiveness is a particular strength. We offer challenging thinking and a fresh insight on skill development to support your markeeters, account managers, business developers, consultants and salespeople to raise their game. The results are an improvement in your business' productivity in the business of out-competing other businesses whilst acquiring and retaining customers.
Over the years, we have developed a suite of workshop programmes that respond to challenges faced by many businesses. These signature Triple E programmes - based on High Performance Value Selling™ - have an immutable architecture of their own including a core set of tools, but which are customisable to reflect the use of your organisational language, existing tools and processes and shades of emphasis dictated by your context. Our programmes are characterised by the use of self-assessment tools to allow participants to evaluate their performance improvement as they move through the modules. They also feature extensive opportunities for practicing tools and techniques. These "Practice Sessions" are a serious and intense aspect of the group coaching experience and fundamental to faster learning.
You can access additional coaching support provided in the form of our 1-hour Workout Sessions or 2-hour Accelerator Sessions that take a single focus from a programme and work that aspect intensively.
