English conversation lessons for sales professionals
In sales, your English is your product too. If you sound unsure, clients feel unsure. These private lessons help account managers, sales directors and business development teams sell with confidence in English.
Selling in a second language is hard because sales conversations move fast. Clients interrupt, ask about price and change the topic. You need ready phrases, not perfect grammar. We practise your real calls and pitches until the words come quickly.

What we practise
The sales conversations we practise
Small talk and building rapport
The first few minutes of a call or meeting, where trust starts.
“Thanks for making the time. How's business been for you this year?”
Discovery questions
Asking open questions to understand what the client really needs, and listening well.
“What's the biggest problem you're trying to solve at the moment?”
Pitching and presenting
Explaining your product in simple, clear benefits, not a long list of features.
“In short, this saves your team about ten hours a week.”
Handling objections
Answering “It’s too expensive” and “We’re happy with our supplier” calmly and politely.
“I understand. Can I ask what you’re comparing it with?”
Negotiation
Discussing price, terms and deadlines while keeping the relationship friendly.
“If we can agree on a two-year contract, I can look at the price again.”
Follow-up and closing
Agreeing the next step clearly and following up without sounding pushy.
“So, the next step is a short demo with your team. Does Thursday work?”

Questions
Questions from sales learners
Can we practise my real pitch?
Yes. Bring your pitch, your slides or a recording of a call (with client details removed). We practise it, make it simpler and clearer, and then role-play the difficult parts.
I sell to British clients. Will this help?
Yes. British clients are often indirect. “That’s interesting” or “We’ll think about it” can mean “no”. I help you understand what they really mean and answer in the same polite style.
Is this good for business development and marketing roles?
Yes. I build the plan around your work: partner meetings, events, presentations, or calls with agencies.
