"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.

My Wonderful Clients I've Trained & Coached

General Advocacy for SerialTrainer7

Simon leads his training sessions with enthusiasm and heart. He opened my eyes to sales strategies that seem so simple but are so often missed. We completed three sessions via Skype. I keep some of the materials he sent me through our course taped at my desk, as they include great daily reminders on questioning, closing techniques, defining value and beyond!

Danielle Brosh Account Executive at FANDOM

Just wanted to say thank you for the training session! I have come away with some really good gems, both for myself and the team - some new insights, some timely reminders. Timing of it to where we are at as a team and the way you ran the session was perfect too, I feel like a resharpened knife! Thank you!!

Jonathan Horwood Business Development Manager at Insider Media

A day with Simon is a treat and a pleasure. In only a day, Simon’s Presentation Skills training carefully developed and nurtured an atmosphere where the whole team were confident presenting to an audience without notes or props. I would highly recommend Simon for his depth of knowledge and development skills but more importantly for his fun and engaging style of training.

Simon is incredible, I am not entirely sure I can do him justice with my words. We have partnered together for more than 5 years, and even though I have been his client, he works in such a collaborative manner it is a partnership. From maternity/changes coaching to working with my Leadership Team, Simon knows what he is doing. I see visible growth in the people he coaches and supports. I honestly take him with me from job to job. He is knowledgeable, personable, an expert in his field, engaging and a great coach! In fact he has delivered other units of training for me, not just coaching. The team still sing his praises on the emotional intelligence x feedback session he just ran. He always shows a mastery for training, you would be foolish not to work with him.

Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Fantastic session with Simon. Really did not know what to expect initially but, with a few easy jokes, some industry insight and his background, he made us feel at ease and the session was amazing. I felt confident about what i could use going forward in my role and in future roles. I feel as if the methods given apply to all industries and could really improved ANY situation with customers. For half a day, that was a lot we covered but, it didn't feel like a chore! It was extremely beneficial and Simon gave a very confident and easy-to-follow training session. Highly recommend. Thanks Simon!

Jake Morgan Technical Operations Analyst at CIPHR

I had the privilege to attend an intense 3-day sales training with Simon which was just outstanding. The sessions he runs are very interactive, full of practice, role plays and case studies which help replicate the theory into the daily routine and truly applying the learnings. We covered all aspects of the sales process, buyers type, buyers and negotiation tactics and even presentation skills. Furthermore, his service is not limited to the actual training but also extended by offering advice and meetings upon request even afterwards, this is brilliant. Last but not least, everyone left with a smile because Simon's amazing sense of humour. The best training I have ever had!

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Simon is an inspiring and talented training specialist. Each course of his I've attended has been impeccably organised and presented, his knowledge has been exhaustive and his enthusiasm infectious. I would have no hesitation in recommending him professionally, and I've been grateful on several occasions for his personal advice and career guidance.  

Charlie Lister Future Trainee Solicitor. Womble Bond Dickinson LLP

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

Simon offered both professional and personal help at a time I needed it to progress.

Simon is a fantastic trainer. His enthusiasm, subject knowledge and passion for training has inspired our delegates and create a supportive yet challenging environment for our course. Feedback from delegates has been sensational. They especially welcomed the personal mentoring that he provides individually to delegates between events and this really sets him apart from other trainers, across all four of the soft skills courses we ran this year. We will be working with Simon again in future.

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

If you want to be a better Manager/Leader or want to improve your overall business skills in general, don’t waste another moment. Simon is the best trainer that I have worked with.

Michael Grinde Senior Manager. FutureUS

He is the kind of person you miss when he’s not there, and the man you want when the demands of the job seem insurmountable, simply because he can lead a team while making you think you’re doing the leading yourself

Shaun Weston Managing Editor Digital. FoodBev Media 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

Simon’s Management and Leadership masterclass was thoroughly engaging and his style was inspirational. The team left highly motivated and I would recommend this course to those who would like to develop their managerial skills. I look forward to seeing you on your next course.
