All part exchanges are sales and profit opportunities and if handled correctly will increase your retail sales.

WORKSHOP MATERIALS    

All delegates will work with extensive detailed workshop notes. The content of the notes will also be enhanced by the input of others in the “Shared ideas” approach of the facilitator on the day. The delegates will also receive within 7 days detailed notes of the exercises undertaken by them.

This can be used as a de-brief document for the senior managers. 

FEED BACK

Delivering customer feedback from our workshop is essential. There will be a 360 degree feedback from the delegates and the facilitator. These will be signed and sent to your company within three working days of attendance. This will include a “Commitments” section from the delegates outlining the actions which will be taken to implement what has been learned, the timescale for the changes and the impact it will have on your business.

The “Commitments” section can be used as a measurement tool to ensure the actions, timescales and implementation of any agreed changes are met.

WORKSHOP VENUE    

We purposefully choose venues with a relaxed and ambient atmosphere which will be very conducive for development and learning. 

TRAINING AND TAX RELIEF    

You can claim tax relief from the invoices supplied. Training and development costs should be treated as an expense to your company and tax relief claimed in the normal way.  

WORKSHOP FEEDBACK 

I like to have my performance measured by my delegates. Although my workshop ethos is based around shared ideas, and naturally everyone will benefit from attending our workshop, I insist on feedback from delegates for my continuous improvement. I will therefore, at the end of the workshop, ask the delegates to measure me on the following; presentation, information, facilitator skills and an overall performance of the day. This document will be sent to you immediately after the workshop.
