Ricardo Herreros-Symonds - VP Sales Speechmatics

"I’m a firm believer that if you want to “always be closing” in the modern day then the key foundation is to “always be learning”.  As such we engaged Day Five to help train the Speechmatics sales team in both traditional and new age best behaviours for selling. While our group covered multiple roles with very varying levels of experience, everybody was able to take away a huge amount away from the week and I’ve noticed some changes in practices already!"

Gary Stevenson – Global Head of Solution Sales at Adaptavist​

"We began a journey with Day Five Consulting earlier this year to help transform our Sales and Client Services team in Europe, Canada, and North America. We wanted a training firm with real life experience delivered by trainers who had practical experience of selling in the B2B tech sector. Will and Chris captured the attention of our teams from day one delivering courses tailored to our needs as the largest Atlassian services partner. The guys have trained over 40+ members of staff over the last 3 weeks and we are already seeing results. Our first courses were delivered face to face in London and Toronto back in January. The guys did an amazing job pivoting due to Covid and have just had great results over three weeks delivering further courses virtually - great job. We are already seeing tangible results across the teams.”

Devon Wellbrock – SVP Americas - MRP Prelytix

“The team at Day Five had their work cut out with MRP, to virtually engage a global organization at all levels in their sales career and pack in a ton of content. I was impressed with the level of preparation they did, in a short time, to get to know our business and prepare interactive and relevant sessions for our reps. Within minutes of breaking the ice, our team was fully engaged in the training and sending me private messages on how beneficial it was. Since the sessions, I’ve seen a positive change in how our team is preparing for important sales meetings, evaluating the influence their prospects have, leveraging executive leadership to support them on strategic deals and overall having a stronger confidence in how they qualify and beat the competition. I look forward to a continued partnership as we focus on solution selling in the Enterprise space.”
