Course Overview

What is the difference between Sales and Business Development? It is more than often misunderstood that Sales and Business Development are the same. While sales are one of the most important aspects of Business Development, but it is way more than just sales numbers.

Zoe Talent Solution is an excellent and professional building organization I will recommend at any time for capacity development, mentoring and coaching to any institution. I just took The Business Development Manager training course in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I was honoured to meet and be taught by talented professional Achraf El Azzouzi. His teaching methods, knowledge, and techniques are outstanding 😍. A special huge thanks to Mevrick 👏🏼 for his continuous support throughout my experience. Starting from my registration process till after receiving my certification. He ensured that my journey went well and smoothly, worth protecting its image and competitiveness. The training course I undertook, ably facilitated and delivered by George Wentworth, backed by Lijo, in Minneapolis for two weeks, was timely and exemplary packaged for my work. The approach and training environment were friendly but professional, and I am satisfied with the quality and knowledge gained from the training.
