Austin Halpin – Sales & Sales Management Trainer
Being involved in professional sales for over 25 years, I believe in a very practical and people-orientated approach to business. A genuine interest in helping all sales managers and salespeople reach their full potential through a new Sales Support Service launched in 2014. I am a real believer in turning any training theory given in the areas of sales recruitment, sales training or managing salespeople into a practical reality. In short, my focus is on implementation not on theory!
