FMCG

Expectations in the retail market place are higher than ever before with retailers ever more demanding. Supplier facing retail staff, such as buyers, are highly skilled and receive a great deal of training in dealing with suppliers. Therefore, training of FMCG supplier personnel is imperative in order to be able to deal with retailers effectively.

Spearhead has a successful track record in delivering in company training courses for the FMCG sector. Our courses help prepare your people and develop their skills so they can deal with demanding retailers. We have trainers who have dedicated their careers in the sector and who have excellent track records for achievement.

The Need for FMCG Training

Training is one of, if not the most, cost effective investments a company can possibly make. The small return on investment required to dramatically improve the bottom line of your business makes FMCG training a must.

Our in company FMGC training programmes will equip your people with the required skills. Given the large amounts of money at stake these courses represent excellent value for money and they will repay themselves many times over by improving business performance.

Delegates will leave our courses with enhanced understanding and a host of ideas and actions to implement. They will have also considered many of the real life challenges of dealing with retailers and how they can be overcome. Quite simply, training will save huge amounts of time and money against learning the hard way.

Our prices for in-house training are highly competitive so developing the ability of your team with one of our in-house training programme makes the cost per person very low indeed and is an extremely efficient way of utilising your training budget. If you would like more details on pricing, please contact us.
