A lack of sales background or training prevents many small businesses from fulfilling their full growth potential. Similarly, salespeople are asked to go out and sell without possessing the necessary skills and tools to do their job effectively. PDT Sales Consultancy can help you address both of these growth 'inhibitors' and put your business back on the path to more profitable growth!

Paul Durrant is a qualified business consultant with the Institute of Consulting (part of the CMI), an Executive Member of the Institute of Sales Management, an Ambassador for the Essex branch of the Institute of Directors, a member of the Essex Chambers of Commerce, a member of ORB (Organisation for Responsible Businesses) and an accredited EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) coach with the International Alliance of Holistic Therapists. EFT is a self-help complimentary therapy that can help you address emotional states of the mind such as fear, stress, anxiety and lack of confidence.
