Measurable results are the name of the game

Hear from sales and professional service learners in their own words what they have taken away from the Wyda Business Acumen Simulation experience.

Across sectors, roles and geographies, the impact of creating real understanding of the customer and clients worlds for customer facing professionals is truly compelling. Seeing our learners achieve these breakthroughs is what drives the Wyda team, because we know what falls into place around this keystone mindset and capability shift.

Unlike so much training out there, for our Wyda alumni, these insights can’t be unseen.

“The most valuable learning was to put myself in the shoes of the client and understand their needs. Understand that stakeholder has their own priority and it is critical to manage stakeholder expectation and understand their need. There is often not a solution that will satisfy all the stakeholders, what matters is how to balance the needs.”

“The Wyda training has really given me the opportunity to step into the role of leaders in different rooms of the house, and build understanding build understanding of what they care about, how other areas of the busines may impact them, and how their goals get communicated back into higher levels of the business. As I work with the Account Team for my QBR (Quarterly Business Review) with customers I'm now using that same stream of thinking to build relevant content to the executive team that will be in attendance. The simulation style training is some of the best I have done and really has helped me engage with the content. I really do believe this type of skill building is extremely valuable.”

It's imperative for all of us at Microsoft to remember that while we may be interacting with an individual or small team during a customer negotiation, we really have several constituencies to consider, and ultimately to satisfy.
