The Dealtiger™ Sales Leadership Academy

Revolutionising and Transforming Sales Leaders

The Dealtiger™ is a specialised medium-term programme, custom-built to empower sales leaders to think like CEOs and Entrepreneurs. The programme focuses on revolutionising and reinventing sales management: creating the sales leaders that others want to work for or hire; teaching participants how to originate deals in tough markets; where none seem to exist; selling ideas and innovation; creating dependable forecasts; and building consistent sales and business results.

The Dealtiger™ is an MBA-level Academy for:

  • Sales and pre-sales people who have management or board-level potential
  • Newly promoted sales managers who need proper foundational development
  • Sales managers and directors who need to change the course of their team’s sales results
  • Experienced sales leaders who want to revisit what is central to success in directing a sales-driven team and operation

The Dealtiger™ comprises a combination of lectures, classroom sessions, on-the-job coaching, as well as mentoring of the delegates in their “real work” environment.
