Recommendation

From Train the Sales Trainer Candidate

Siobhan Gallagher

Sales Operations Lead, Sales Coach, Women in Tech.

I highly recommend the Train the Sales Trainer Course

by Siobhan Gallager

Chris James's Train the Sales Trainer Course was incredible. It was really useful in helping me get ideas for content and helping me chunk up the training. Chris introduced me to accelerated learning which is a concept I have been unconsciously following but Chris helped put structure around it. When I first started sales training I was one of those ex sales reps who had heaps of experience selling but I needed to learn how to engage my audience. Chris really helped with this. Thanks Chris, I highly recommend your course.
