“benefit IMPACT supports us
for several years in the
Professional development of our employees. The workshops and training sessions are very well organized, and the way they are conducted—by actively involving the participants—makes them highly interactive and engaging. As a former training manager, I am impressed by how practical the interventions are and by the dialogue on an equal footing with the client and the participants.”
“Congratulations on the outstanding feedback from the participants. I think the feedback speaks for itself. The entire day had a clear and coherent overarching theme, as well as focused content that was consistently linked to our company, which led to a high level of acceptance among the participants. The idea of the individual success guides, which were handed out as needed, is sensational, and the entire handbook can be conveniently stowed away anywhere. I am very satisfied.”
“For Decathlon’s executives, ‘hybrid leadership’ and ‘effective online training’ are key areas for development in which benefit IMPACT has successfully supported us.

“We made a great choice with benefit IMPACT! As a dynamic and rapidly growing company with high standards for quality, we were looking for a partner to help our employees and managers develop their skills.

and on topic.”
“Besides investment expertise, a convincing presentation to clients is the key success factor for portfolio managers.”

This is also confirmed by the consistently positive feedback from all participants. We’re already looking forward to more in-depth workshops in the new year.”
“Thank you so much for the great training.
I really appreciated how you took our individual needs and moods into account and
tailored the training accordingly.
Your decision to adjust the training after the lunch break was the right one. It led to a valuable and in-depth discussion, which was important for our team after spending so much time working from home.”

We were assigned a sales trainer
benefit IMPACT is recommended.
The first training session took place in person; the subsequent sessions were held in the online classroom. We were surprised at how effective the workouts are in benefit IMPACT’s interactive studio. The training went very well, and we plan to conduct all future training sessions online. We’re already looking forward to the next one!”

“I would like to express my sincere thanks for the valuable and smooth collaboration! It was a pleasure
to exchange ideas with you and work together to put a training program in place.”
“Over the past twelve months,
we have worked closely
with benefitIMPACT on
sales development.
What convinced us was that
benefit IMPACT made a
clear commitment regarding
the results to be achieved, a commitment that was not only fulfilled but actually exceeded. I was particularly impressed by the systematic approach aligned with our sales process and by the seamless integration with the specific requirements of our IT industry environment.”
“In March, we provided our field sales team with targeted sales development training. The goal was to reach a new market segment. After the first day of training, the seven field sales representatives had already scheduled 94 meetings with NEW customers. On the second day, these meetings were systematically prepared, and the sales pitches were practiced on an individual basis. Despite having a diverse, culturally mixed team with extensive sales experience, the feedback has been unanimously excellent. The results speak for themselves, and the sales team is highly motivated to keep this up. I knew it would go well, but I was pleasantly surprised once again.”
“benefit IMPACT has been supporting us for several years in the development of our client advisors. The most recent project was ‘The Schroders Experience,’ which aimed to provide our clients with a holistic and honest advisory experience—from the moment they walk in the door through to performance. At the heart of the program were highly interactive, personalized training sessions with our client advisors. The training is methodologically based on the SAQ challenges and thus provides our client advisors with the best possible foundation for successful certification, which several of them already completed on schedule last year.”
“benefit IMPACT played a key role in supporting the rollout of the new advisory process at Vontobel Wealth Management. The interactive training with actors enabled our client advisors to practice all aspects of their client meetings in realistic advisory scenarios. The thorough preparation for the training sessions, as well as the valuable feedback from the benefit IMPACT trainers, were highly appreciated by our participants and could be applied immediately. The extensive experience of the trainers and actors involved enabled all participants to reflect on and improve their advisory approach.”
