Training firm Pareto Law has signed a new global training agreement with US independent financial advisory and investment banking services provider Duff & Phelps.

Pareto Law will deliver training in the areas of consultative selling, presentation skills and relationship management as well as effective telephone skills and negotiation skills.

This will take place on 65 training days with two three-day sessions per month in Europe and various three-day courses in the US.

Bryn Thompson, corporate accounts director at Pareto Law, says: “In the current economic climate understanding how to question effectively, deliver compelling presentations and engage with clients to forge strong relationships is more important than ever.

“Duff & Phelps has recognised the importance of developing excellent commercial skills for its client facing staff, many of whom already have strong technical and analytical abilities.”
