2. The MI Sales Academy
Welcome!
The MI Sales Academy has been designed around the modern business and for the modern business professional. It achieves this by
providing a flexible, modular approach to people development.
Based on practical and highly effective Mercuri methodologies, proven for over 50 years with thousands of clients, the content of
each module has been specifically designed to address the real life challenges facing managers and leaders in the 21st Century.
The Academy will support the long term development of your people in two key ways:
1. For those who require very specific development each module will focus on a core number of related topics which will be
covered in detail. Each will be supported before and afterwards with related e-learning modules.
2. For those who require a long term development programme we will link various modules together to create a personal learning
path, covering the critical topics in a time schedule tailored to the individual. We will also link various related e-learning modules
in order to create a fully blended learning experience.
Please contact Mercuri on 00 44 (0)1932 844855 and one of our consultants will be able to guide you on the most appropriate
modules for your learning path based on your learning requirements.
We look forward to welcoming you or your team member to the Sales Academy and wish you and them every success on the
development journey.
