Commercial & Sales Training Programs
Our training programs are dedicated to professionals working in the science and technology marketplace. They don’t just cover the theory, they give you relevant, practical, and actionable skills that will immediately boost you and your teams' confidence and performance.
Tired of sales training theory?
So are we.
It’s one thing knowing the theory behind making a successful sale but it’s another putting it into practice. Unlike generic sales training programs, we put less emphasis on the methodology and more focus on practical solutions.
With one of our sales training programs you’ll walk away with not only a better understanding of sales theory but also the knowledge and skills to make an immediate impact on your bottom line through more effective implementation.

"Pru's Sales Leadership Programme is insightful, well structured and there is a story to give the real world context for every example. You come wanting to put everything into action but the course helps you to channel your enthusiasm and energy into some achievable short and medium term goals. All in all, an incredibly valuable experience."
"The course last week was excellent, really really great for me just a few months into this world of sales. I have already been using some of the things you taught us and I have my first solo visit to a client next week and will definitely be starting the meeting with TRA!"
“Thank you very much for all of the training sessions since August! I received a lot of great feedback from our Sales Team members about all that they have taken away from the trainings. The role playing session was extremely helpful in coaching them to use all concepts earlier training sessions to the end: qualification - NAMTCR, how to develop relationship with KOL's, facing competition, handling objections (APIAC), and making great presentations. The team very much enjoyed everything, and appreciate that you made it fun! We are all much more equipped than before!”
