What is a george james open program?

 

Taught by trainers and facilitators with decades of commercial experience in the science and technology industry, george james open programs equip sales and commercial professionals with practical and relevant skills to take their careers to the next level. 

 
By combining the latest theory with plenty of role play exercises, you’ll not only walk away with a better knowledge of your role and industry, but you’ll also feel confident putting theory into practice. Armed with immediately actionable skills and solutions, you’ll be able to see tangible results as soon as the training ends. 
 
Our open programs are presented either remotely or in person at the Little Chesterford Research Park in Saffron Walden, Cambridge in small groups to keep learning effective and ensure all delegates can comfortably share experiences and insights. 
 
“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 team very much enjoyed everything, and appreciate that you made it fun! We are all much more equipped than before!”

Associate Director of Sales
