Sales Training, Development and New Business Development

Jan 12 New Year, new customers. No sooner had we got back from a holiday of too many mince pies and snoozing in front of the TV than things have gone mad in the world of Bid Support and Business Proposal Writing.  Our friends at Star kept us busy in week one with a bid that involved the production of a 70 page RFP response that included graphics, mindmaps and embedded videos. It’s one of the most compelling documents we’ve seen in a long time, and who knew IP Telephony could be so fascinating! . More >> Dec 11 The behind the scenes team grows With a growing client list, and more Bid Support and Business Proposal Writing requests flying in to the Sales Engine office on a weekly basis we’ve strengthened the bid support team to ensure we can deliver the highest quality at all times.. More >> Nov 11 A warm welcome to a new consultant. As the colder months approach us we’re really pleased to be able to welcome a new consultant into the warmth of the Sales Engine consultancy team. We work hard to find the best talent in Bid Support, Sales Presentation Training and Business Proposal Writing and we’re very excited to have Rachael Rogan joining us. . More >> July 11 Sector Spanning Bid Support Life's never dull here at Sales Engine. Over the last couple of weeks we've been asked by customers to support them on a wide array of bids including pitches to the Houses of Parliament, a Formula 1 Racing team, a University and a local council. More >> The Sales Engine Story At Sales Engine, we’d like to make our stance clear from the word go - sales people are (in the main) an upstanding, hardworking and honourable bunch   What they typically lack (outside of Max Clifford as PR advisor) are the right tools, coaching and support to guide them through the rough terrain of the commercial world. As a result, some of them make mistakes, some of them “wing it” and a select few make a decent fist of it and deliver real value to their employers and their clients.   Sales Engine is thankfully made up of the latter. This heroic bunch of ex-colleagues formed Sales Engine early on in 2008 to address the failings of the sales profession to date by delivering bid support, tools and coaching to sales teams up and down the land (and overseas when the fancy takes us).  Working from offices in London, Bedfordshire and Warwickshire, the team toiled to inject new ideas, new tools and new energy into the sales function of businesses like Avanta, TNT Post and First Data.  Along the way, we’ve found ourselves in some unlikely situations: Working through the night, surviving on nothing but cold pizza, with senior bid teams pitching for contracts worth in excess of £5billion Being flown in to New York at a moment’s notice to provide support to a team before they stepped up to bid for the biggest deal in their company’s history…despite being on holiday at the time. Hand delivering 10 copies of a freshly bound pitch document to a grateful client at his home, only to be greeted by him in his pyjamas. As a result, businesses up and down the land now think the gang from Sales Engine are the bees knees (and we’ve got the testimonials to prove it). Nice… The exciting bit?  We’ve only just begun but we know we’re making a difference.
