We recognised over 18 months ago that we needed to support our sales team, who are technical experts in our field, with some advanced sales techniques & skills development.
David McMurdo talked with us in detail; analysed our business & developed an effective program for our sales leaders; enhancing their sales coaching skills & through this has delivered two exceptional conference workshops for our direct sales force & more recently for our distribution partners. Furthermore through the coaching program we are driving noticeable improvements in results.
David has also worked directly with me on the recruitment of the right skills & abilities across our sales leaders.
Our goal is to raise our core sales capabilities – we sell high quality products & need to provide a great value proposition for our customers. David’s programs are helping us achieve this without any question

David is playing a pivotal role assisting Rexel to build a nationally cohesive sales leadership team through its Sales Excellence Program. The high level of engagement happening with our State Sales Managers has definitely been enhanced by David’s interactive training sessions which have been purpose built for Rexel. I truly believe the great engagement stems from the customisation of the content and David’s unique ability to command and interact with his audience. Our sales leaders are now better equipped to lead, coach and train their external sales teams, leading to much improved results.

We engaged David to support us in building a framework for a more effective, structured and strategic approach to our National Accounts planning. The training was very insightful, easy to implement and most importantly very engaging. This has allowed our teams to develop an improved quality of persuasive and customer centric proposals. The tools developed, such as Plan On A Page, have allowed us to build stronger relationships supporting retention and driving growth.
