"Barrett's individual, diagnostic approach 'was like a light bulb going on'. It helped
people focus on themselves so they could see what was possible. The
scientific, structured approach equipped us to push through those performance
barriers together and pinpoint what wasn't working." - Manager, Metricon
"By having Barrett examine issues such as organisational performance, sales team
analysis, prospecting, self-promotion and selling skills and measuring and creating
vision and values, the true potential of my team was unlocked. With their assistance I helped people be the best they could be."
- Managing Director, Prolift
"Excellent- very relevant to our positions. The focus on teamwork, and team management as opposed to
technical issues was incredibly beneficial and kept the whole team very interested. It gave us a chance to
determine what different types of personalities exist within our team. This in turn allows us to learn about
how to handle people within the team and it also allows us to maximise on each other's strengths.” - IT
Team, Deloitte
"The Barrett team supported management throughout the entire business, regardless of discipline, as we underwent a dramatic and exciting restructure. Their input was vital to the
development of cultural change inside the business, which has translated into increased sales and profitability for the company."
- National Sales & Marketing Manager, Aquarium Industries
"It wasn't 'pie in the sky' or unachievable. Barrett was there to guide us to do our best- giving us the
foundations, the knowledge, the behaviours and the structures to help us help ourselves" - The Metricon Regional Management Team
"Barrett offers a holistic approach with access to practical and
accessible philosophies and tools that move beyond the theories-
we have been looking for something like this for years. We are excited that there are tools,
concepts and ideas to better understand self and others.“
- Managing Director, Cellplex
"I felt more empowered after Barrett. When customers call I
now feel that I call the shots and I am not waiting for them to ask
me what they want. I am pro-active rather than re-active."
Our Competitive Advantage – The 21st Century Sales SpecialistsThe ‘sales’ times - they are a changing… At no other time in the history of the sales profession are we witnessingsuch dramatic shifts in how we do business - products are replicated in ‘minutes’, people are more informed, theworld is interconnected like never before and clients want to interact with ‘business people’ who can sell and thinkabout possibility. Clients are looking for partners to assist them map a pathway forward into the future. Theyrecognise that true value lies, not in a product, but in the collaboration of ideas. However too many sales team arestuck in the 20th Century with a ‘Product Mindset’ and so are many of our competitors.
Barrett are specialists in 21st century Sales Culture, Capability, and Campaigns and focus on helping sales leadersand professionals achieve Sales Mastery in a 21st Century world. Although we are small in size compared to ourdirect competitors, who are usually larger international training firms, we ‘punch well above our weight’ when itcomes to delivering relevant, dynamic, results oriented projects.
Same, Same but DifferentClients are also realising the value in using Australian based research regarding sales competencies, training andassessment content for their sales people. For instance research is clearly showing that Australian and NZ salescultures are different from our USA sales colleagues. American sales management and training and proceduresadhere to US presupposed values and perceptions, and may not be optimal, or even suitable, for other countries.Research is showing that it is often better to access country and culturally specific training for your sales people.That is why BARRETT has invested heavily in developing Australian based content to suit our market. Our researchand work has given BARRETT a tremendous insight into the contemporary view of selling, trends and the widevariety of sales practices that exist in both Australia and overseas. BARRETT also works across the Asia and PacificRegion introducing contemporary, relevant sales practices to these markets. BARRETT works in partnership withpeople to deliver a holistic and sustainable approach to business growth and sales performance in organisations.
