- Designing and delivering engaging classroom, virtual and practical training.
- Embedding consultative sales methodologies into everyday recruitment behaviours.
- Running regular one-to-one coaching sessions with consultants across the business.
- Listening to calls, analysing performance trends and providing practical feedback.
- Supporting consultants with business development, opportunity progression, account development and stakeholder engagement.
- Working closely with Directors and Managers to improve coaching standards and consultant capability.
- Creating development programmes, workshops and learning resources that drive measurable performance improvement.
- Supporting key initiatives including the Million Biller Pathway and future consultant development programmes.
What Success Looks Like
- Consultants become productive faster.

- Managers receive meaningful coaching support.
- Training translates into measurable behaviour change.

- Consultant performance and retention continue to strengthen.
