Improve Performance, Progress Careers

Helping a legacy business leap forward

When long-established drinks wholesaler Matthew Clark asked for our help in boosting communication and credibility across their sales team, we knew exactly what to do. Check out the role of specialist training in their success story below.

Matthew Clark

A national drinks wholesaler established in 1810, Matthew Clark is a leading figure in the supply of drink products, hospitality training, labour management and marketing. Their 16,000-strong client base of UK on-trade premises further cements their place in the market.

In 2013, they sought out BMS Progress. They’re still with us today, and we’ve worked on numerous projects together – including in 2018, when they needed a bespoke training programme to enhance their sales communications.

“David and his team designed and delivered a comprehensive Sales Development Programme for our Regional Sales Team and our National Account Managers. Have completed a thorough TNA and Field Observations, they were able to create the content specifically for our roles and industry, which landed really well with the team. We continue to work with BMS Progress for a range of development areas. I would have no hesitation recommending BMS Progress to any organisation looking to upskill their sales and management teams."

The Solution

We sat down with the team at Matthew Clark to understand their needs and build a specialist training programme.

Communication training

We homed in on messaging delivery, including a
five-part brand sell, to enhance personal impact and self-awareness. Plus, we highlighted the importance of clear communication and vocal delivery.

One-to-one coaching

This involved recording video pitches for each individual and coaching them through it on a
one-to-one basis. At the end of the training project, these videos were rolled out to 100 salespeople.
