Telesales Team Feedback:

1) Good introduction for new sales team members;

2) Increased confidence in handling customers;

3) Allowed group discussion in handling real life customers issues from both depots and the problems faced, how a Win Win situation was achievable. A number of staff members benefited with increased confidence.

Manager's Observations:

1) The use of role play scenarios was beneficial;

2) Having the teams present information to the group. Took the teams out of their comfort zones and encouraged them to think on their feet and not just sit in class taking in information.

Overall, a well balanced training session, from what was observed and the feedback given. This type of session would benefit a new starter with relatively no experience in sales and anyone who is lacking in confidence.

I enjoyed all parts of the First Aid at Work course. My overall impression was very good.

I thought all of the First Aid at Work course was very good and the staff were very friendly.

I found everything about the First Aid at Work Course to be very good - I wouldn't change anything. The overall training and facilities were first class.

My overall impression of the First Aid at Work Course, the venue and the training consultant was very good. The slideshows were useful and the staff were friendly.

The overall content of the Advanced Sales Development Masterclass was very good. I wouldn't change a thing.

The Advanced Sales Development Masterclass gave us the opportunity to learn about the sales process from a non-sales background. Overall, interesting and good to relate my role and a college operation to sales as a concept.

Contextualisation and theory that underpins what we do - active listening (Advanced Sales Development Masterclass).

The pace of the Advanced Sales Development Masterclass course was excellent. A relaxed atmosphere allowed me to meet the other staff and discuss different areas.

Open sessions for discussion allowed development of ideas and interaction (Advanced Sales Development Masterclass).

I have really enjoyed the Advanced Sales Development Masterclass programme - I wouldn't change anything! Thank you Juliette - a very interesting course!

Puts the theory behind the sales (Sales Advantage Taster).

New ideas, new thoughts for the future (Sales Advantage Taster).

The Sales Advantage Taster Workshop was very good with clear, concise and motivating trainers.

I was really motivated by our SIA License trainer. I have learned to use more effective methods in my work.

The (SIA License) trainer is the best in the area.

The (SIA License) course was well set out for a novice and the trainer was brilliant.

I liked all aspects, from the start of the (SIA License) course to the finish. Nothing on this course is improvable!

I liked my teacher (SIA License), he was very good at explaining things. I wouldn't change anything about this course.

Jim (SIA License training) is the best trainer I have ever met. I liked his methods of training.

Overall the Introduction to Purchasing & Supply course was very good and met my needs. Would use again.

I wouldn't change anything about the CIPS Level 2 course. The trainer was very knowledgable and made everyone feel at ease.

"The CIPS Level 2 Introduction to Purchasing and Supply was a very effective programme of training that really took you through the procurement process."

I am writing to recommend the services of the East Lancs Chamber of Commerce (ELCC) in relation to the provision of the CIPS full training programme.

I have over 20 students now undertaking the programme using the ELCC tutors and the success rate so far has been exemplary at over 95% with excellent marks attained in exams.

Liaising and working with colleagues at ELCC has been a lesson in professionalism and we have established a very good working relationship which has resulted in mutual respect for the issues that can effect the delivery of a complex programme of study such as the graduate membership route for CIPS.

The exams are taken here in Sheffield, which has been ideal for the students involved who are working full time for the authority and often have family and home commitments to take on board. ELCC have been very supportive of their requirements and needs with an example being the handling of one student who has dyslexia and was therefore extremely worried about the exam.

I have no qualms about recommending ELCC as providers of the CIPS programme and in testimony to their ability we have students on the programme travelling from Leeds to be part of the provision.

Enjoyed the challenges of putting things into practice and supporting each other.

Thoroughly enjoyed my journey and would recommend to anyone.

A fantastic course. Improved my awareness and understanding of myself and provided tools to lead myself and staff more effectively.

Excellent content/learning, delivered with humour!

The Training Team at the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce have really taken the time to understand our business. We've been pleased to work with the Chamber and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support over the year around the sessions with East Lancs schools. You've been incredibly kind and diligent throughout, as has Linda, and I'm immensely grateful to you both. After all your kindness and hard work, you now have a definite fan in me! You've been a pleasure to work with.

I have recently attended the Advance Peak Performance Training programme and I found it to be one of the most inspiring and enjoyable programmes I have ever attended. The subject matter was challenging and liberating; it has given me an insight into overcoming limiting beliefs and how I can really make a big difference in my business. Thank you.
