Acosta Europe and Expression for Growth take home not one but two LearnX Diamond Awards

WINNER: BEST SALES TRAINING AND BEST LEARNING TRANSFER!

Back in 2020, Acosta Europe started a review of its level of capability across its client facing functions, with competition accelerating and a clear view that companies with a superior commercial capability outperformed their peers in both revenue and margin growth.

They set about creating a plan to build and sustain best in class commercial capabilities. Having worked previously with Expression for Growth, Acosta were confident that Steven and the team would be able to help them in some of the critical areas and they set about defining an 18-month rolling program split into multiple cohorts and multiple programs.

After some exploratory meetings, Acosta decided that using the Precision Thinking and Precision Selling interventions would deliver for the teams and they utilised an accreditation approach recommended by Steven to ensure that skills and tools from both programs would live and breathe within the business well beyond the initial training.

Ian Forshew, Group Managing Director of Acosta Europe said, "I’m confident that the way we have partnered with Expression for Growth utilising both Precision Thinking and Precision Selling led by Steven and his team will continue to stand us in good stead for the future."

We are proud to say that this partnership has been recognized, not once, but twice, with two Diamond awards from LearnX for Best Sales Training and Best Learning Transfer.

This demonstrates the impact on each participant, the impact on others, the impact on Acosta’s clients, and their business results. Acosta are resolute that their belief in investing in their team, their skills, is creating a culture of accountability, performance and success.

Steven Edney, Managing Director of Expression for Growth said, "Ian is a true leader, who has a deep belief and places value on the impact of investing, creating and nurturing a culture to develop commercial capability."

Continuing, Steven said, "The result is that the sales and insights people at Acosta Europe are valued as true partners by their customers. Creating a culture where peer to peer coaching and support is commonplace where people build the skills, behaviours and confidence takes consistently and authentically.

Congratulations to Ian and to every person in the sales and insights teams at Acosta Europe, for being recognised as the best. The return on investment is compelling and winning two awards is terrific; Best Sales Training award and Best Learning Transfer award. We are proud to partner with you at Acosta Europe as we live our purpose as "we help people enjoy preforming at their best"!"
