Sales/Customer Service

26th July 2012

When businesses are struggling to compete in a difficult, complex and unpredictable market, their Sales and Customer Service strategy is core to ensuring that the business fulfils its potential. Sales and customer service speakers are experts who can inspire companies to turn their fortunes around with the help of some sage advice.

Former CEO of Burger King, Barry Gibbons received international acclaim for his performance in the business. He is an astute and charismatic speaker on sales and customer service, as is James Timpson - Managing Director of Timpson, the UK's largest shoe repairer, key cutter, engraver and watch repairer – and a hugely popular speaker and advisor on sales and customer service.
