Meet Nick Washington-Jones
Founder and Managing Director of Accelerated Performance Solutions
I have spent more than 30 years helping salespeople, managers, leaders and customer-facing teams become more confident, capable and commercially effective.
During my career, I have worked with organisations of different sizes and across a wide range of sectors, designing and delivering practical development in sales, leadership, management, customer service, negotiation, presentation skills and business coaching.
I created Accelerated Performance Solutions because I wanted clients to have something more relevant and flexible than conventional, off-the-shelf training. Every APS programme begins with understanding the organisation, its people and the performance challenge it needs to solve.
My approach is practical, engaging and appropriately challenging. Participants don’t simply discuss theories or hypothetical situations: they apply new ideas to their real customers, accounts, opportunities and workplace challenges.
I also believe that development should continue beyond the workshop. That is why APS programmes can include individual coaching, reinforcement sessions, action planning and practical workplace application to help people embed new behaviours and deliver lasting results.
My training philosophy
People learn most effectively when the development is relevant, practical and connected to the results they are expected to achieve.
My aim is simple: participants should leave every session with greater confidence, a clear plan and practical tools they can begin using immediately.
Learn it today. Use it tomorrow.
Nick is fully licensed to deliver the M.A.T.C.H. consultative selling approach, a practical consultative selling approach that helps salespeople prepare effectively, understand the customer’s real needs, demonstrate relevant value and progress opportunities with greater confidence and control.
Working with APS
Nick personally leads APS client assignments from initial diagnosis and programme design through to delivery and reinforcement.
Where a larger or international programme requires additional expertise or delivery capacity, APS can draw upon a trusted network of experienced training and coaching professionals.
