Furza

I had the incredible opportunity to deliver two seminars last week at University Academy 92 (UA92) on the topic Power of Perspective: Transform Challenges into Opportunities.   We often face obstacles that seem insurmountable, but with the right mindset, we can transform those challenges into stepping stones towards growth and success - something we focus on developing at the Furza Academy.   Opportunities like these remind me why I'm so passionate about what I do - helping our future leaders see their potential and the power they have to shape their own journeys.   Thank you to everyone at University Academy 92 (UA92) for the warm welcome and to all the students for their incredible participation. Looking forward to seeing the amazing things they will achieve by embracing this mindset!

Big thank you to Samuel Cornford, Director of Business Development at Centelli for sharing such positive feedback about working with Furza. We’re delighted to have helped Centelli tackle two key challenges that often arise when building early-career sales teams: identifying high-potential junior talent, driven individuals who are ambitious and eager to succeed, and then developing that talent with bespoke, comprehensive training to ensure they are equipped with the skills and resources to succeed from day one.

2025 is fast approaching. If you are aiming for a successful business start to the new year, now is the ideal time to start scaling your teams for Q1, particularly those focused on driving sales. The reason is simple: new hires need time to ramp up and if you want them to generate revenue by January, the clock is ticking. Are you prepared for emerging challenges and opportunities? James Hornsby, Director at Furza recently spoke to Insider Media about the importance of preparing for the next quarter. "Right now, many leaders will be looking at their existing pipeline and making estimations and forecasts for what will close in the remainder of 2024, which is exactly what they should be doing. However, what they also need to be thinking about is where they want to be this time next year, and making provisions to enable them to achieve that."

BCIS is the leading provider of independent cost data to the UK-built environment. After investment from LDC, they were looking to accelerate hiring and build an established junior sales team, proactive in winning new opportunities. With Furza's support, BCIS built a high-performing outbound sales function, boosting market share and halving new hire ramp-up time for faster ROI. This also saved 300+ hours of management time by removing the need for internal recruitment and training.
