"If I have to name two insights, the first is the belief that the work of a culture manager and event producer is also comparable to the work of a salesperson. The products we sell are specific, but the knowledge and techniques acquired in this course can be adapted to them - and it really works!"

The second one cannot be called an insight, but more of a benefit - it is a great opportunity to look at yourself from the outside (very valuable for those who have been working with the same product for many years), an opportunity to look at your everyday life from the outside and be inspired for new works , as well as refresh your professional self-confidence."

"Visma Enterprise chooses training providers who help solve a specific problem of our company by combining new knowledge with the company's existing experience and competences. It is important for us not to hastily buy a ready-made store suit, for which you may later regret the money spent, because of this, that we will feel uncomfortable in it, we will wear it rarely, but to invest our time and money in cooperation with a quality tailor who will delve into our needs and create a suit that we will actually wear every day. Kārlis Apkalns is our tailor, with whom we already cooperate regularly."

"This is the best sales training I've ever been to. Instead of the American "inspiration" and crushing "we are powerful, we will succeed, we can achieve anything we want", it groups the entire sales process in very clear, realistic steps - and you can go sell anything: because you know how to listen, what to hear, when and what to say, what makes a sale and what destroys it, why this happens, but that doesn't happen and never will, because people buy then, then and then , not now. And with practical exercises - give you a customer (extremely grumpy and grumpy, unwilling to buy anything) and try your hand step by step, build a conversation, neutralize objections, keep the customer's attention and guide his wishes, and sell to him in such a way that he is happy (really happy. not forced) to buy. And the coolest thing - usually excellent salespeople come to learn on these courses, those who sell deals worth millions, those who sell already purchased services (keep customers who want to leave ), those who are the most, best-selling sellers in their company: there is something to learn not only from the instructor, but also from the group members. I wholeheartedly recommend."

"A good course to structure the existing knowledge, what you have concluded and to hear the experiences of others. Useful for the new knowledge to settle in and help in communication that brings results."

"Karlis Apkalns is definitely a sales guru. The formula is simple: if you want to learn how to sell with pleasure for both yourself and the client + conclude a profitable deal for all parties = contact Kärlis - he will do the rest!"

"I found this course thoughtful and useful. From a practical point of view, this is the best training I've ever attended. Liked: 

• A structured approach, but the ability to be flexible and answer participants' questions without creating the feeling that we have left the intended topic;

• Flowing transitions;

• Targeted progress towards the result, not just having a cool time;

• A simple and well-understood sales formula;

• The practical tasks - I liked that the lessons were discovered with the task, because it maintained a good tone, because you couldn't know at what moment something equally challenging would follow."

"It is useful to look at your work from a buying-selling perspective. It allows you to understand the needs and interests of the other party to the transaction, to structure the information necessary for the transaction in such a way as to increase the value of your idea or product as much as possible, and to plan the meeting in such a way that it results as often as possible with a mutually successful transaction."

"2 thanks:

1. for inviting me to feel the satisfaction that a result, an excellent result, can bring, provided: huge, exciting, persistent, creative, exploratory, analytical, wild… work. Thank you, Karli, for setting the bar high for RBS! MT is still my most important course and You are the best of the Instructors I have had the opportunity to work with.

2. on Balance issues. I keep asking myself and I keep giving answers... Answers to myself. Sometimes true, sometimes not completely. I think that the sail I lead has a direction, because on that shore is what is important to me. What's important right now."
