My corporate career began in External Relations in the early Eighties but I soon moved into Sales and Marketing, where I was active for nearly 30 years (save for a 4-year stint in Recruitment and Selection). I held a number of senior management positions in Italy, UK, and Belgium until, in late 2009, I started my own business as a consultant and trainer working out of Milan, Italy. When choosing which subjects to cover, I have concentrated on my own areas of expertise, adding to the formal content of my training workshops a wealth of real-life stories and business cases in a variety of industries. I have facilitated workshops and corporate events in Italy, France, Germany, UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czechia, Serbia, Hungary, South Africa, Tanzania, and the UAE.

Solution selling is a sales process aimed at producing solutions that are closely centered on customers’ needs and developed through extensive interaction with all stakeholders in the partner company. This 2-day training workshop underscores the need for exhaustive preparation prior to the first customer meeting and for a set of drill-down questions whose ultimate goal is to define and validate the customer’s needs, whether they entail solving a ‘pain point’ or achieving better performance. This training is extremely interactive and based on real-life examples. Frequent practice sessions and role-plays offer all participants an opportunity to practice their newly acquired skills.
