Default Business selling skills

Just wanted to test the water between all you guys on here, there are many posts on here where people are struggling to get the work, you have done your training but just on tiling, what you may be lacking is the sales skills, marketing and motavational skills to become successfull, my family ran a successfull business and passed on the key skills to me at a very early stage in my life and i have been self employed now for 22 years maximising profits to be made from tiling, i have been on loads of sales courses which paid off when comming to win business quotes and understanding your customers.
Large complanys always send their staff on these kind of courses on how to win business and they work
I was thinking of running a one day course on the above and condensing the best of what ive was taught over the years, anyone that has been on my course has had a taster of what i can teach in how to make money from tiling, just wondering if anyone would be interested in such a course.

Regards
Darren

Yes Darren

-How much?
-How long?

If it was a 1 day course then maybe, however I dont think sales is my weak point but I'm sure you could improve my pitch. At the very least I could get another night out in south shields mate.

give darren his due,

he's a good business man and i am sure whatever course he puts on, it will be worth the money all day long..

darren, are you sure you didnt hypnotise me when i was at your place, i seem to find my self writing nice posts about you all the time mate lol ;0)

seriously, he knows his stuff and if i hadnt spent 3 years in sales and marketing and being sent off to sales seminars etc etc then id be first in line to book.
