The Challenge: Driving Long-Term Growth Through Bespoke Leadership & Sales Training in Manchester
A fast-growing business in the technology and services sector, based in Manchester, needed more than standardised learning. The leadership team wanted a partner who could align training with business strategy—someone who could offer leadership development, sales training, and organisational consultancy, all tailored to the company’s specific needs.
The company sought:
- Strategic alignment between learning and business goals
- Practical, energising tools for leaders and frontline teams
- A cultural shift supported by a clear performance management framework
Rather than opting for generic sales training courses UK businesses typically rely on, they were determined to find a partner that could deliver long-term impact—training that addressed core challenges and empowered people at every level.
The Solution
They chose Commversant. Over several years, Commversant partnered with the business to design and deliver fully customised leadership training and development, sales course training, and management sales training.
Led by Commversant’s director, Sarah, the programme combined:
- Tailored sales training classes for sales teams, focusing on both tactical delivery and strategic thinking
- Targeted sales leadership training for sales managers, ensuring alignment between commercial activity and leadership goals
- High-impact leadership training courses for executives and operational staff, driving behavioural change across the board
- Expert coaching and leadership development to build confidence and self-awareness
Commversant used a flexible delivery model blending group sessions, 1:1 coaching, and interactive workshops. The training programmes avoided one-size-fits-all templates. Instead, each sales training course and leadership development program was designed in response to real business needs.
As trust developed, the partnership expanded to include consultancy support. Together, they co-created a new Performance Management Framework. This framework helped embed:
- Clear, role-specific behaviours
- A shared language of feedback and accountability
- Alignment between personal growth and business performance
The Impact:
Energised Sales Teams: Staff came back from sales training programs more motivated, equipped with new sales negotiation skills training and a better understanding of customer needs. Sales managers reported improved team morale and stronger results.
Stronger Leadership: The executive leadership training and leadership training management pathways gave senior leaders the skills to inspire and lead with clarity. Across departments, leaders felt more confident driving performance and change.
Integrated Learning Culture: The bespoke approach to sales manager training, leadership development training, and management and leadership training created a unified culture of ownership and collaboration. Everyone from senior directors to junior staff shared common goals and language.
Real Business Change: Through open dialogue and honest reflection, Sarah acted as a ‘critical friend’—helping to identify unseen issues that were holding the business back. The Performance Management Framework is now a lasting structure supporting continuous improvement.
