Our Masterful-Sales Training Programme will help your sales team improve sales performance in a truly unique and enlightening approach. The Sales Training Conundrum Good sales people and sales managers are always searching for ways to increase sales. Many attend some form of sales training or sales course only to find that they either already know the sales techniques being taught or they feel like they need to become a robot to process the formulaic approach shown.It is little wonder, when a typical sales course tries to teach someone how to sell without investigating what is at the very core of every sale - the buyer and the sales person's attitude towards him or her! This lack of understanding results in these techniques (like so many others) being forgotten a week or so after t ...

Not this one!Image of Children Painting classes As with all of Julie's courses, they are 'drawing' based, so every session includes a drawing session of some kind with Julie. This may be pencils, charcoal, pastel, watercolours etc, from a still-life subject, or perhaps a portrait or a landscape, whatever Julie has prepared. They then move on to do some three-dimensional work with another, like-minded teacher, which may be papermaking, bookbinding, maskmaking, clay modelling.Image of Children enjoying painting classes Julie's experience in teaching has convinced her that our creative side spills over into other areas, be it music, love of nature, flower arranging or whatever, so the children's days sometimes include some drama, group games or music.
