Sales leadership training UK  - Online Leadership & Management Growth Academy - For Sales Managers and Team Leaders in All Industries (UK & Beyond)

Are You Frustrated With Training That Doesn’t Actually Change Behaviours?

Most business owners and managers tell me the same thing when it comes to developing their sales managers and team leaders:

"Most training is too generic, delivered by people who’ve never actually led a team, run a business, or carried real responsibility for targets, growth, and people."

And you’re right to be cautious.

  • Open courses rarely work if you only have one or two team members to train
  • Sending people away for expensive one-day training courses is disruptive and costly - especially when results are often forgotten by the following Monday
  • Self-paced learning without accountability usually ends up in the "I’ll get to it later" pile.

That’s Why I Built the Online Leadership & Management Growth Academy - Specifically for Sales Managers and Team Leaders Across All Industries



Sales leadership training UK | Empower. Lead. Succeed




As a multi-award-winning business owner, manager, and qualified training consultant, I understand the real pressures of running a business. I know what it feels like to balance people management, sales targets, customer expectations, and personal growth - all at once.

That’s why this program isn’t just about learning new ideas. It’s about embedding new behaviours, developing leadership confidence, and making sustainable improvements that drive sales and team performance.

Real Leadership Development, Real Accountability, Real Growth

When you or your team member enrols in the Online Leadership & Management Growth Academy, you’re not buying a one-off course. You’re investing in a partnership.

Here’s how it works:

  • Monthly 1-to-1 Virtual Coaching Sessions
    I personally meet with each participant online every month to check progress, offer coaching, give guidance, and ensure they’re applying the strategies from the academy in their real work life.
    Accountability is built into the program.
  • Direct Access Support
    Learners can contact me anytime between sessions with questions, ideas, or challenges they’re facing in their leadership role. Think of me as your personal mentor, guide, and sounding board
  • Self-Paced Online Learning Modules
    No need to take days off work. Learners can study at times that suit their schedule—without interrupting business operations. But unlike typical self-learning, I ensure they stay on track and meet their goals
  • Practical, Action-Oriented Tools
    Every lesson comes with real-world tools, templates, and strategies that sales managers and team leaders can use immediately to manage their teams more effectively
  • Sales Leadership Focused—But Industry Inclusive
    This academy is designed for sales managers, but it’s also perfect for any team leader who manages people and is responsible for growth and performance—no matter the industry.

What’s Included in the Online Leadership & Management Growth Academy?

Leadership development for sales managersLeadership Development for Sales Managers

The Sales Leadership Academy: 12 Modules to Drive Sales Performance Through People

Each module is built to turn good sales managers into high-impact sales leaders - equipped to coach, motivate, and drive consistent results through their team.

1. Managing People

Learn how a coaching-led management style drives motivation and results. Set up structured 1:1s and start using delegation to build up your team - not just unload tasks.

2. Leading Sales Teams

Sales leadership starts with emotional intelligence. Sales managers complete an EQ self-assessment, create a personal growth plan, and align their leadership intent with your sales targets and business vision.

3. Time & Energy Management

Prioritise what drives sales. Learn to manage your energy, block time for pipeline-driving activities, and delegate low-impact work. Sales leaders regularly save 2 hours a day due to this training - freeing up time to coach reps and close deals.

4. High-Impact Communication

Sales success depends on clear communication. Master DISC to understand different personalities (your team and your customers), sharpen your listening skills, and tighten up email habits that waste time.

5. Hiring Sales Stars

Tired of “hoping they’ll work out”? This module teaches competency-based interviewing and how to spot potential - not just polish. Hire the right people, faster.

6. Sales Culture & Change

Culture drives performance. Map out your team’s current state, define your ideal sales culture, and build a game plan to lead change that sticks - even in fast-moving markets.

7. Practical HR for Sales Leaders

Know how to handle the tough stuff. From performance plans to absence management, get confident with the essentials - plus how to use PIPs as a motivator, not a punishment.

8. Difficult Conversations & Conflict

Sales teams can be competitive and high-pressure. Learn how to handle friction, build trust, and create a resilient, focused sales environment.

9. Coaching for Sales Growth

Coaching is the fastest way to lift results across your team. Learn how to coach effectively, when to do it, and how to integrate coaching into daily sales conversations.

10. Appraisals & Sales Meetings

Ditch the boring sit-downs. Learn to run energising 1:1s that drive accountability and growth. Plus, build a Meeting Charter that keeps sales huddles sharp and purposeful.

11. Building a Winning Sales Team

This isn’t about games - this is about frameworks. Understand the psychology of team dynamics and use proven tools to build cohesion, trust, and performance.

12. Mentoring the Next Generation

Sales leaders become mentors - coaching new managers and reps, creating a legacy of excellence, and strengthening the wider sales culture.

Bottom Line: This academy builds sales managers who know how to lead people, not just chase targets. Because when your managers grow, so do your numbers.
