As a business it can be challenging to find training courses that deliver a real return on investment, educating employees on aspects specific and applicable to their current role. Its experts in training and people development, Strategic Professionals aim to help businesses overcome this challenge by working with them to create fully bespoke training courses that can immediately translate into employees’ working practices.
It’s this ability to tailor courses specifically to a business’s needs that attracted EH Smith Builders Merchants to work with Strategic Professionals. EH Smith has over a hundred years of experience within the construction industry and their traditional values aligned with those of Strategic Professionals. EH Smith needed a long-term, reliable partner to help them provide continuous training to their employees, ensuring the business always offers the best services to their customers.
Strategic Professionals were the perfect fit to support EH Smith in achieving this aim due to the team’s longstanding experience working within the industry and depth of knowledge from years of teaching academic theory. This cocktail of expertise was ideal when working with EH Smith as not only was theoretical knowledge being taught but also its practical application to the job.
Strategic Professionals have been supporting EH Smith with their people development and training for over a decade now and when the need arose for a bespoke sales training course for the newest round of Trainees the business immediately turned to Strategic Professionals to see which course was best suited for them. The sales academy course offered “contained all of the relevant content areas that are fundamental for those commencing an entry-level sales role – this was not just a standard sales course but a specifically tailored course and a realistic representation of builders merchants’ sales” notes Hannah Caffrey, HR Advisor at EH Smith.
Due to the longstanding nature of the relationship the Strategic Professionals team, specifically Sharon Southcott, are trusted partners of EH Smith’s. Hannah Caffery explains, “We have worked with Sharon for many years and her extensive industry experience combined with a thorough knowledge of our business and exceptional delivery skills have been instrumental in the development of many of our current and former Sales Trainees, several of whom who have since successfully progressed their careers into Management or Sales roles… I would not hesitate in recommending Sharon and the Strategic Professionals team for tailored training. They are absolutely fantastic!”
Having this close relationship and ability to specifically tailor training through industry knowledge, academic theory and experience working with the business means Strategic Professionals can create training programs that are engaging, informative, and beneficial to those undertaking them.
