  • 'Turning Leads into Clients' is a brilliant course that I'd recommend to anyone in a client-facing role. The session was was dynamic and thoroughly engaging, full of tips I'd never heard before, and left me feeling energised, encouraged and ready to apply my learnings. Debra's deep knowledge of the sales landscape shone through and I felt privileged to have access to her expert insights.
