Sunil Puri
Thank you so much for investing your time in the STAR program which I am sure will go a long way for developing our teams and people. I have got a very good feedback from some key stake holders and participants on the way you have conducted the program and the teams are excited to take the learnings forward. They were apprehensive of the program when it started , but as it progressed, they really have enjoyed the journey.
Thanks a lot again.

We evaluated lot of training partners including few big names for our Train-The-Trainer for front line sales force. However, everyone was offering the standard run-of-the-mill product without understanding our processes and challenges. However, boutique training firm Front Edge took a different approach. They went to various markets first, walked along with our salespersons and presented their understanding of the market situation. This was corroborated by our brief and then a customized training module NIRMAAN was designed. The personal yet professional touch from experienced Mr. Ramesh Hande gave shape and design to the video-based training module. This was put in practice by the highly efficient production team. The training and assessment conducted by Mr. Hande was extremely detailed and effective. FrontEdge was involved in the execution of NIRMAAN from start till end. Without any suggestions or criticism of our RTM approach, they built a tailor-made training module for us. Their approach was detailed and remarkable. In case, one is serious about development of sales team capabilities, I would always recommend the name of Ramesh and team.

Many thanks for having successfully run these programs. From a content and presentation perspective this was well delivered. I am particularly impressed with Nirmaan – One of the best AVs for the frontline salesperson to view and implement.

We wanted to expand our agriculture business in the area of protected cultivation, we appointed Mr Ramesh Hande of Front Edge to help in creating strategic road map for business expansion. We are pioneers in this business in India and we wanted all aspects of our business to be covered starting from demand generation, go to market strategy and piloting execution. The solution we got from Mr Hande was very unique and helped us create an excellent execution template for business growth. Mr Hande has diverse exposure across sectors and has deep understanding of Rural and Agri markets and we are very happy with his value addition to our business which has helped in creating road map for long term growth.

We worked with FrontEdge for training programs for our sales force. We initially started off with class room training and then created e-learning content as part of the induction program for new joinees. It was an exercise which involved multiple locations and stakeholders. FrontEdge has used mobile application for pre & post training test and trainer evaluation, it was a new and innovative experience for us. We are happy with the outcome of the project. Apart from the class room training, Ramesh has also come up with a plan for post training objectives and market execution. All the Best!!

Front Edge Human Capital was engaged to provide Learning and development sessions to our managerial band level for Customer focus & Team building s. What impressed me the most was Front Edge professional people –focus approach, their delivery style and their use of relevant and workable model and theories to be easily transferred into work place. The training session was driven very well with assignment of individual project to each participant. Most of the comments from participants were nothing but positive. The overall experience from Front Edge was very useful, constructive.
