Struggling salespeople needed for 'Hard Sell' TV series

 print  e-mail 

Diverse, the TV production company behind several popular BBC and Channel4 programmes, is looking for businesses that are struggling with sales to take part in 'Hard Sell', a new business programme to be broadcast on Sky One.

To make the programme they are looking for a range of businesses whose sales teams are lacking in results. So if you run a company whose sales force is slacking or are in sales yourself and no matter what you do, you still can't sell enough, they want to hear from you.

If you're chosen for the show, over the course of 6 weeks, a high profile 'sales guru' will identify the real problems in your sales process and put in place measures that guarantee results.

No matter how big or small the sales team, how many years experience they have between them, and no matter what the nature of the product - Diverse believe that their 'sales guru' can turn your business around and teach you how to sell almost anything in just 6 weeks!

If you own or work for a company that needs a healthy sales boost this could be an interesting opportunity. To find out more about the 'Hard Sell' series call the Hard Sell Hotline on 0207 855 7461 or email HardSell@Diverse.tv
