Testimonials

“Sue is simply the best writer on sales issues that I've ever come across. That reflects her highly organised thinking about sales issues and her drive towards solving real-world problems. She's also a delight to work with: constantly engaged and curious, highly commercial, always looking for the next solution. I've found her particularly insightful on sales within professional services. If I was looking for someone to build the skills of a sales team or an executive group, she would be my first call.”

“Lotus Filters has experienced solid recent growth, however we wanted to see if we could grow faster! After reading an article published by Sue, undertaking some research and meeting up, we decided to engage the team at Barrett to “help us sell better”. The brief has covered a number of key things including refining our sales messaging to the online Sales Essentials development program for our sales and key operational people. Along this journey Sue has facilitated workshops where her depth of knowledge and engaging delivery style has led to positive change in the business. Benefits derived include a very clear value proposition and a number of tools and techniques to help us all sell better – and the results are showing. We have no hesitation in recommending Sue to any business looking to enhance the way they sell.”

“We have done 4 follow-ups since the 3 day program which has been beneficial for recapping our learnings and consistent approach to client meetings or farm visits. I'm discovering changes in my sales approach (structure) and time management each month since the course. I have also got back into netball coaching since the course as I discovered this was missing in my work life balance and feel this was a result of setting personal goals which I had not done for a couple of years basically got a bit stagnate in my life. Overall the course gave me a timely refresh to my work & personal goals.”
