The results are fascinating, if unsurprising. In their latest skill development survey, Grant Thornton have found that English language skills have risen to the no.1 spot and, more importantly, continued the rising trend over the last three years.

Coming in as ‘the major priority’ among businesses, I wonder whether the trend will continue next year?

In the meantime, those who would like to enhance their business communication skills need look no further than our range of High-Impact! Seminars and, especially, the High-Impact! Presentations public seminar coming up!

It’s recession time again, and companies all over the world are feeling the pinch.

Many may be forgiven for trying to cut costs in this environment (as it is sensible to do), yet the leading companies know that this is exactly the time where they can increase their own market share, even if sales are declining.

In this environment, companies need to focus on their front (customer-facing) end. Two of our programmes, High-Satisfaction! Customer Service and High-Volume! Sales, are designed with this in mind.

High-Satisfaction! Customer Service is ideal for companies who want to improve the way their staff relate to customers in English with all the most important encounters covered.

In High-Satisfaction! Customer Service, participants learn how to:

• Understand how and when to approach a customer
• How to identify a customer’s needs using English
  
• How to create rapport easily
• Upselling and cross-selling
• Taking the order

If your company wants to increase its market share and make your people feel confident in front of your prized customers, High-Satisfaction! Customer Service is the programme for you.

So if you have a major negotiation in English coming up and would like to test your knowledge of the language, go here for the test.

Alternatively, enrol in our High-Powered! Negotiations programme for immediate results!

The test is based on a conversational situation and is a welcome change to what’s usually available!

Those of you who may have missed Body of Lies at the cinema will soon be able to catch the movie starring Russell Crowe and Leonardo di Caprio at your nearest video outlet.

But if you don’t want to wait till then and would like to learn  some English from the movie, why not go here and do this great little activity which catches some dialogue between the two actors.

You’ll have to be at your sharpest though – the accents aren’t that easy to follow!
