Sales Enablement for Publishers & EdTech

Making educational products easier to understand, remember and use.

Andy Cowle, Sales Enablement specialist for publishers and EdTech

I help publishers and EdTech companies bring their print and digital products to life through sales team training, teacher workshops, product demonstrations, onboarding and video tutorials.

I don't just demonstrate products – I make their practical value clear, relevant and memorable.

Drawing on decades of experience in ELT publishing, sales, teacher training and presenting, I make complex materials and digital solutions simple, engaging and easy to understand. Crucially, I connect product features and benefits with real classroom challenges, showing educators how they can make a difference to teaching and learning.

The result? More confident sales teams, better-informed customers and educators who understand, remember and can put products into practice.
