"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.

I have just completing SerialTrainer7 Customer Services and Communications Academy course and had the pleasure to meet Simon. I was very impressed with Simon's knowledge, very friendly approach, supportive, excellent coaching and a good sense of humour 😁 Simon definitely helped upgrading Customer Services and Communication skills by covering a vast amount of information needed to improve. I would throughly recommend Simon and looking forward to see him again soon!

Liliana Mitchell Customer Service Team Leader at Aquamain UK Ltd

I have to say that Simon is the most engaging, stimulating and thought-provoking trainer I have ever worked with! He is an exceptional trainer with extensive knowledge across a broad range of areas. I have now attended a number of courses run by Simon and all (without fail!) have provided me with sound advice, new processes and tips to take away to apply in my day-to-day working life. Simon’s style of delivering training is superb, and his ability to draw delegates out of their comfort zones and get them to actively participate is second to none. His courses are stimulating and so much fun whilst delivering real solutions to help delegates meet their objectives. And best of all …. Not a single PowerPoint slide in sight!

Suzanne Millward Business Development Manager at National Merchant Buying Society

Simon is a fantastic trainer with a real passion for supporting and developing talent. Ive attended many of his sessions over the years and always found them fun, engaging and extremely worthwhile. I’d recommend Simon for any business wanting to invest in sales people, you’ll be in safe hands…

Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Simon’s training opened our eyes to the techniques and skills that can be adopted to strengthen the way we deliver our offering. It was a brilliant training. Simon kept the team engaged for the whole day and so much of what was delivered was able to be put into action immediately. For the team at Hobsons Choice, this is very much only the start of our education in honing our sales skills, but we are confident that we have found the right trainer for us.

Richard Carter Owner, Hobsons Choice

Had the absolute pleasure of being on ones of Simon's training courses here at ComputerWorld. Spread across 3 days covering various topics, he kept us all laughing and engaged throughout! There wasn't a single PowerPoint slide in sight which was fantastic! Never thought I'd see the day in which I actually looked forward to a training course. All the topics we covered were extremely valuable and I almost immediately started to apply them to my day to day work. Highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to improve their sales skills.

Alysha Moore Account Manager at Computerworld Group

I have had the pleasure of completing a series of training courses with Simon, from negotiation and sales skills to a full on presentation skills course. Simon is energetic and passionate about training and educating his students to a high level through a multitude of invaluable skills. I have left the course not only with a new found knowledge of the craft but feeling a sense of uplifted confidence in presenting and overall sales. There is no doubt Simon will continue to flourish in this field of work and inspire budding young sales people for years to come.

Jake Newland Client Support Advisor- allmanhall

Simon’s training style is just stunning, the sessions are engaging and interactive. We had an intense week of training around the sales process, buyer signals and motives, negotiation tactics and much more. The modules are filled with in-depth information yet easy to understand and apply into action. I would highly recommend Simon and look forward to working with him again!

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

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

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.

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

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Having spent time with Simon in his Customer Service Academy and his Management training course, I can confidently recommend him to any company looking to expand the skills and knowledge of their employees. Simon has made it clear that typical PowerPoint presentations aren't his style and instead opts for imaginative tasks spanning all sorts of resources- I'm not going to forget building sculptures out of lego anytime soon! Although some serious topics were discussed there seemed to be no question off limits, and along with Simon being very approachable I would feel comfortable contacting him for guidance on work related issues in the event I didn't know who to turn to. A lot of fun was had during these courses, great flowing conversation and Simon made sure it was never boring.

Pippa Rice Assistant Finance Manager at Aquamain UK Ltd

Just finished the second instalment of Sales Leadership Management training under the expert stewardship of Simon @ Serial Trainer 7. What a brilliant day, Simon has the unique talent of delivering a dynamic session in such an open, relaxed and informal manner. He has such a vast and deep understanding of all his topics covered, together with a complete reading list to further support his coaching. It is always a pleasure to work and continue to learn with Simon as his training skills are second to none.

Back in the office this morning after a full days training on Simon's Management and Leadership Masterclass. If you're looking for only one training session this year, you must consider Serial Trainer 7. An engaging day, which was frankly over far too quickly. Simon's a great communicator, with an effervescent mix of knowledge, humour, relevance, practical experiences and a little bit of sarcasm thrown in to keep you on your toes. I'll be using his services throughout the year. Plenty for me to think about after just one day of his time.

Simon Taylor Operations Manager at GB Lubricants

I have just completed Simon's Management and Leadership Academy and I can't speak highly enough of him as a trainer. He tailored his sessions to us as a class, spending longer on problem areas and understanding when we'd got enough of a handle on an idea to be able to move on. The whole course was run remotely, but it didn't for one moment feel as though we were missing out. There were plenty of well timed breaks, and Simon did his best to pair heavier subjects with lighter ones to make the process of learning that much easier. I have learned so much.
