The programme of three half-day inspiring sales development workshops is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and is designed to help regional SME’s to improve commercial skills and grow their software related business.

Richard Lane, co-founder and sales performance specialist of durhamlane, says: “the software industry in the North East shows huge growth potential. Unfortunately we often see young companies lacking the skills to effectively sell their unique products and services.

“This hands-on programme is based on our proven sales methodology – Selling at a Higher Level,” Richard explains. “Our processes and techniques are simple and intuitive enough to enhance the performance of everybody, whether you have sales in your title or not.

 “Sunderland Software City and durhamlane share the mission of generating a sustainable software industry in the region and driving the development of world class software businesses. We are proud to be supporting them and their members again.
