"Business goes where it is needed and stays where it is welcome." - Anon
This is a special part of my site, somewhat self indulgent, and something I am very appreciative of; however when people generously take the time to create a testimonial, I want to share them so that you can see for yourself what people have said about me and how useful they have found my training. Indulge this humble training consultant sharing some of these with you.

General Advocacy for SerialTrainer7
I just completed 2 days of training with Simon and found it so refreshing. I walked away feeling that I am able to use everything I've learned in my current role. I found all the information we covered was useful and relevant. I enjoyed every minute and probably the most fun training I've had. Really looking forward to the future sessions we have.Sheena Turner Account Development Manager at CIPHR
Its only taken me 21 years to write this. Simon was the Training Manager at Future Publishing when I joined, my first step in my career ladder (cars sales at a Ford dealership doesn't count), and subsequently managed me for several months. To this day Simons training is the foundation of my sales, and client relationships. It is what I communicate, train and expect from my team, and to this day is the cornerstone to being successful in building relationships, trust, productive, fruitful and long term results with clients. This has been applicable in every industry I have worked in, and specifically important in the incredibly competitive media & events industry, where you really have to stand out and offer value. If you are looking to improve your sales teams effectiveness, and long term secured revenues, then I cannot recommend Simon enough.Graeme Kirk Senior manager and sales professional
He is a real stand out presenter and exceptional facilitator, who can quickly identify the needs of his audience and deliver sessions that are engaging, motivating and inspiring.Richard Mason Partnership Director Motorexpo
SerialTrainer7 has both inspired and encouraged our team to look after each other and to look for those early signs which sometimes show themselves when people are perhaps overcommitted or just need a little help. The training was informative and great fun and I am sure was also one of the best team building exercises we have ever done.Dean Hayward Sales & Marketing Manager. NMBS Limited
Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
What can I say about Simon that has not already been said! I had the pleasure of meeting Simon when my previous employer arranged for the team to undertake the SerialTrainer7 academy. Walking in to the meeting room on the first day expecting 2 days of death by PowerPoint and role-play, however this couldn't have been further form the truth, Simon put the team at ease within the first 5 minutes and what followed was 2 days of fantastic training, with the whole team completely engaged. Without a doubt some of the most valuable training I have undertaken in my 20 year sales career. I thoroughly recommend Simon to any organisation looking to take their sales team to the next level.John Jeynes Strategic Account Development Manager, MHR
Had an absolutely fantastic two days with Simon this week. Tremendous knowledge and inspiring learning with a great training style. I've taken away so much to start looking at immediately. I'd highly recommend anyone who loves sales and wants to develop to consider Serial Trainer 7. Thank you for everything.Michael Knight Customer Success Manager at CIPHR
A fantastic 3 days spent with Simon on his sales training course last week. His energy and passion for sales is infectious and his expertise first class. Simon is unlike any other trainer I’ve ever met and his course was both engaging and highly enjoyable. If you're ever lucky enough to attend one of Simons courses you’ll be learning new skills fundamental for a successful career in sales. Thank you Simon, you made it a pleasure.Helen C. Associate Publisher at The Medicine Maker
It’s an incredibly humbling experience to meet someone that makes a truly significant and positive impression, Simon is one of those people and for all the right reasons. Having spent 2 days on one of Simon’s courses (walking into the door with an element of scepticism) I can honestly say that I came away from the session in awe of his knowledge and natural ability to connect with people! A true master of his craft, his passion translates into an overwhelmingly valuable service where he understands what’s important to you as a business. I now feel more confident, informed and valuable as a sales person, as a result of the training Simon has provided with me seeing immediate results using his methods! Thank you Simon for the best course I’ve ever attended. Don’t hesitate to book Simon Hares... he breaks the mould but in the way we wish all people would!Thomas Kanchanawat Business Development Manager - Green Gourmet Ltd
Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Each lesson in Simon's Serial Training was purposeful, unique and engaging. He has a true skill in providing personalized insight and process to everyday situations. At the end of the three day session, I felt that Simon was apart of our team sitting at the end of the table. I couldn't have higher praise for Simon and would implore anyone considering for Sales Training, Coaching and Development to contact him first.Daniel Crowe Business Development at The Pathologist
He is a truly lovely person and a very skilled trainer and business coach.Richard Foster European Managing Director. Krux Digital
I met Simon over a decade ago when he trained the sales team at Future US. I was a newb Account Executive in my first ad role in the video game industry. His way of teaching and lessons left a mark on me, so much, that I reached out to him about doing private sessions 4,800 miles away. In this ever-changing landscape, I realized that I was not equipped with the negotiation tools to navigate with the various facets of customers that we encounter today. Simon provided me with invaluable insights and clear direction to help me drive the business forward with a modern-day approach. I will be signing up for more private sessions (conducted over Zoom) and highly recommend Simon for anyone, anywhere, looking to improve or to step up their game.Christina Grushkin VP, Brand Partnerships at StreamElements
We spent a lot of time considering the training requirements and methods of delivery for presentation and sales training for the team at ComputerWorld. Simon came highly recommended to me from a couple of mutual connection and I was also lucky enough to see Simon present at a business networking event, this was the final confirmation I needed that Simon was the right person to deliver the training for us. Simon has so far delivered presentation skills and sales training for the team at CW, the feedback across the team has been fantastic, not only did Simon teach the syllabus he brought energy to the training that was contagious not only to those on the course but to others in the business (How many people can turn presentation skills training into an energised conversation after work among colleagues!). Simon teaches from experience and the methods he still uses today, which was really important to us. I would highly recommend Simon for sales and professional development training, we are looking forward to undertaking further sales and professional development training with Simon in 2019.Barry Coombs Director of Operations at ComputerWorld
Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Simon has carried out various training for my management team over recent years and he has been fantastic. Every time Simon conducts his training, my staff leave enthused, excited and eager to implement and put into practice everything they have learned. This is not only down to the high quality training aides but is also down to the instructor, Simon, himself. Simon's natural flair and passion is simply infectious. He has such a vast knowledge on all management subjects and the way he delivers it, really resonates with all of my staff. Simon's greatest skill though is understanding people and how we are all different. He is very quick to read and understand people, how they work and their strengths and weaknesses and automatically tailors his approach to ensure they gain the most from his sessions. A really exception trainer.George Robert Knott Operations Manager at Acado
Just a quick note to say that I thoroughly recommend Serial Trainer 7. Simon's courses are clear and informative and arm you with useful tools. I attended Simon's 'Management Academy' and what is most impressive about it is how each module links to and reinforces the others. What makes the training particularly good is the man himself, Simon is charismatic, genuine and supportive. It's worth mentioning that the course is fun, whether via video chat or in person.Jason Hockridge Head of Delivery, Network-N Ltd
Cannot recommend Simon enough. After just completing an intensive course remotely on Management and Leadership, I have come away with more in-depth knowledge on areas I had touched on in my CIMA studies as well as areas I was not familiar with. Although some areas were out of my comfort zone, there was no judgement and the feeling of being part of close group was something not encountered on a training course before. I love the way Simon is so honest and open with us. It allows you to be comfortable sharing your thoughts and opinions to help work through issues and develop further.Sharon Addenbrooke Finance Manager, Network N
I’d usually be glad to see the end of any training course, but training with Simon has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The hands on approach created an engaging environment which aided my understanding of the content. I’ve come away with a toolkit of management skills to practice and perfect, which is useful guidance for me, as I’m still very much at the beginning of my journey. Also, by teaching us about the underlying processes guiding both behaviours, and different aspects of managing people, I feel that I’ve developed an understanding that will enable me to adapt management techniques to whatever the situation demands. I now feel confident in my ability to develop into a more successful, well rounded manager.Violet Bedwell-Clayton Finance Manager at Aquamain UK Ltd
