Dimitri Torregrossa
CEO and Founder at Aurora's Grid
"Fast Track sales class: very useful! The Trainers started from the basic knowledge of sale-cycles and gradually explained how to manage sales with specific tools and dedicated methodologies. Very useful the tips on “recruiting sales-team”. I definitively suggest this class to start-up facing off with sales management!"

Stéphane Janiszewski
Head of Key Account Management at LEMO
"A perfect fit for what I was looking for as the course gives a truly holistic view of the Sales function, covering all key aspects and all angles! As an experienced sales professional with mostly big corporation background, it gave me exactly what I needed to transfer into the exciting world of smaller and more agile organisations as I was able to combine my "corporate" experience with the content of the course geared towards startups and SMEs. All of this in a fun atmosphere and an exciting blend of participants."
