"I’d recommend the course to anyone new to sales and even those who are more experienced looking for advice. Excellent all round! It was all delivered with good humour whilst being light-hearted and engaging but more importantly, very informative about the sales world. I found george james’ course to be incredibly helpful in many ways, but what really came through was how experienced Pru Layton is in all aspects of life science sales and how she had an excellent answer to any challenge faced!"
