- Always worth a listen
I used to work with Adam so only started listening to the podcast as I knew him, I’ve now started from the beginning and they are superb. If we need any training then I will use these guys, Adam has been in the trade 20 odd years and has helped & coached me from my early days, the fact they took on a guy for the trade rather than just another sales trainer speaks volumes.
