Leading a team of sales people to manage relationships with National Customers and grow their spend.

It's tough juggling the day job, personal commitments and and study but positively I can see it making a difference in my performance.

As much as I need. I'm fortunate that my managers and my team are all have my back and are there to support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

With monthly Masterclasses, weekly Webinars and directed independent reading I couldn't ask for much more.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It's given me an opportunity to stand back and analyse how I perform, realising what I do well and finding areas where I need to re-focus.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
We have a great team spirit and regularly do things away from work, we've been to comedy nights, football matches and most importantly - down the local pub.
