Later this year we’re going to run a cohort of our Level 7 apprenticeship programme before the funding rules become far more restrictive in 2026. So, what better time to hear from someone who’s been through the programme, as we revisit Phil’s conversation with Simon Topley on The Sales Transformation Podcast!

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:

Join us on The Sales Transformation Podcast for another of our Mastercast episodes, spotlighting one of our amazing master’s programme graduates. This week it’s the turn of Simon Topley, Sales Centre Manager at Royal Mail.

Simon began his career at Royal Mail as a postman before shifting into sales. Many years later he found himself on another transformational journey, as managing some new sales apprentices inspired him to begin a level 7 apprenticeship himself, which included studying for his master’s degree.

Highlights include:

• [17:39] – Doing a master's can open your mind
• [27:04] – Learning has a ripple effect in an organisation
• [30:24] – How a culture of learning can improve sales performance

Consalia’s Head of Marketing Eddie Guevarra once again joins Phil on this week’s episode of The Sales Transformation Podcast, but this time he’s the one being interviewed!

That’s because Eddie has recently completed his Master’s in Sales Transformation – unusual for a marketer!

Together they discuss how Eddie took inspiration from his love of CrossFit, as well as Phil’s own Sales Mindsets, to examine the values that exceptional marketing leaders need to possess.

Highlights include:

• [01:17] – There’s no textbook that can tell you how to be the kind of marketing leader you want to be
• [08:08] – CrossFit and leadership: more related than you might think
• [25:53] – Sometimes getting insights from interviews requires reading between the lines
