"The strength of Fast Track Sales Academy course lies on the actionable ways to improve your sales processes, independently of your company's stage. The professional diversity of the team and lecturers enriched the course's
content and debates in each session.
I definitely recommend the course if you are looking to have a deeper understanding on sales models, processes, tools, management and growth. Two thumbs up!"
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."
