Local option to boost selling skills

For short courses to boost your sales and marketing skills, Gloucestershire Enterprise runs a range of short courses, often just a morning or afternoon to boost your skills. Most are suitable both for people coming from a larger company or someone running their own business. In March, for example, a key sales seminar is ‘Sales Skills, Cross-Selling & Up-Selling’ which aims to assist those who ‘want to increase your sales but lack confidence or know-how.’ The afternoon course covers areas such as ‘Increasing your sales through effective questioning techniques’ and ‘How to build rapport, handle objections and close the sale.’ Gloucestershire Enterprise are the local Enterprise Agency for the county and operate on a not-for-profit, social enterprise basis. Most of their courses are based at their offices in Twigworth, Gloucestershire. For more information on the range of courses offered visit their site at http://www.glosenterprise.co.uk/training/
