"We worked with Phil Atherton on the POP programme. Through it Phil helped us to identify the sales model that was the best fit for our business and for those selling. Once we had established this it provided a platform and understanding for all the techniques and wisdom that he shared.
During the year that we worked with Phil our Sales revenue increased by 70% and our profit by more."

“Again, thanks for all the help you are giving. I really do appreciate it. I have also spoken to my co-directors and they are very impressed with the results to date, and we haven't even got an order yet! Over the recent years they have seen a number of people brought in to help and seen nothing in the way of positive results. What you are achieving is also helping with the morale of the place as people can see there is a positive future after all.”

During a difficult sales negotiation I turned to Phil for help. In a remarkably short time he had analysed the situation we were in and provided clear, and well explained, options for how to get a win-win for all parties. Successful too, I followed his suggestions and we won the business yesterday! Many thanks.
