❝Sales teams and managers from across the country attended sales training provided by The Peer Group. The training was focused on the necessity of drive and attitude (you in the sale) and sales skills (the sale in you) to be successful salespeople. Everyone enjoyed the training and commented on how beneficial it was. Now the challenge is to retain and measure the results, which we’ll do using the Peer Training System.❞
Gari Dombo Managing Director, Alexander ForbesMore... -
❝We have implemented various methodologies to empower our staff at all levels and found the results disappointing and short-lived. We have been using the democratic approach of Peer 2 Peer Sales Training for the last 18 months and to date the results have exceeded our expectations. We are on the path to developing a true Learning Culture within our companies.❞
Pierre Jordaan Unit Manager, Liberty LifeMore... -
❝A huge thank you to the Peer Training Group for bringing a new aspect of professionalism and confidence to our frontline staff. Our staff gained massively from understanding and learning how to approach customers and now have the confidence to apply the tools they were taught during the training day.
