What Indicator clients say
Foundation Day was a really enjoyable day, pitched perfectly for those new to sales, or someone experienced but wanting to hone their sales skills. Michael could sell ice to Inuits!
Lisa Biesheuvel

It is a coaching session that explains the key sales skills required, whilst providing a safe space to practice them with peers, challenging me to be better. I love the relaxed but passionate manner of Michael Fooks. He may laugh at this – but I have used much of his training with family, friends, and colleagues as well!
