"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 is quite honestly the only person whom I would recommend for any training course. He is unique & refreshing in his approach, & as such obtains maximum interaction from all who attend. Valuable learning for us all, insightful, fun, approachable, genius methods, which captivate the doubters amongst us of which I was one. Not any longer, with Simon training you or your team you can only benefit. Thank you Simon, regards Carol.

Carol Allen Srixon Sports Europe

Simon demonstrated a high level of expertise. His training was clear and immediately actionable and he was sensitive to all my teams’ needs. In addition, his style was open and inviting to questions and he willingly gave his time to responding to questions thoroughly. He provided a fun and engaging learning environment. Simon is extremely enthusiastic about his work which is infectious. He is courteous and considerate and I would certainly recommend him for any future training.

Bill Austin Head of Direct Services, Trowbridge Town Council

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

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.

Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

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!

Filippo Fabiano Account Manager at Webgains

We have spent the last few days benefitting from Simon’s extensive expertise and training. He is relevant in the sales arena and won over the room very quickly; we were challenged and supported in our learning journeys and I have certainly walked away having gained so much value and excitement to try some of my new or refreshed tools out. I would highly recommend Simon anywhere where you want to increase your business and sales revenue. Thank you Simon for making it so thoroughly enjoyable and valuable.

Laura Alldis Head of Sales Operations at CIPHR

Simon has helped me with almost every aspect of my sales role and shown me a real science yet personal route to closing.

Tom Radburn Advertising Brand Manager. Factory Media

I have just had the privilege of attending Simon's sales training course, and it has left me feeling completely recharged and focused. His knowledge, enthusiasm and insight has left me compelled to share my opinions of Simon as a trainer and as a person. My experience of sales training in the past has been less than positive, putting it mildly, and as such I will be honest that I was not entirely confident that this would be any different. I could not have been more wrong. From the moment Simon began the course I felt compelled to listen to every word. Simon immediately captured my attention and his knowledge and insight was hugely impressive. He really knows what he is talking about, but more than that he continually put the teachings and methods into context. So many can talk-the-talk, but very few leave you convinced that they had been there, done it, and got the T Shirt time and time again. That is what really stuck with me in the days after the training, Simon really knows your challenges in sales as he has clearly lived and breathed it. I have learnt a huge amount in my time with Simon, and am already putting into practice what I have learnt from the training. Most of all I feel I have gained in confidence, and this is from just two days spent with Simon! As a person, he is engaging, motivational, empathetic and driven - with a wicked sense of humour that I could relate to! My company has already booked follow up training with him, such was the success of the two days, and I look forward to working with Simon again. Highly, highly recommended!

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Simon helped me develop my career, and has supported me the whole way. Simon saw my potential and pushed me in the right direction.

Polly Beauchamp Rights Manager. IP & Commissioning. Future

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

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

Simon is ridiculously good. There, I said it. Be it training, coaching, strategic or professional advice-his enthusiasm to solve any problem and the world a better place is completely contagious. Work with him once and you’ll be enthusing as much as I am.

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

Highly Recommended!! Having just completed the Serial7 Management Academy, I wanted to say Simon is almost certainly the best trainer I have encountered. He was insightful, engaging and knowledgeable, but importantly, also very adaptable, tailoring his training to the needs of the pupils in front of him. He brought an energy to the training that made, with what could have been very dull subject matter, the time simply fly by. Never afraid of probing questions on the topic at hand and always willing to hear other’s points of view. It was very telling at the end of the sessions, that there was not one bad word for Simon! Altogether, Simon and Serial7 should be on any organisations contact list for training needs. Hope to have the pleasure of Simon’s coaching/mentoring/training again in the not too distant future.

Robin Snow Assistant Manager at John Wainwright & Co Ltd

I have attended four different training sessions hosted by Simon. Each and everyone of them were insightful and practical. The activities and discussions during the training were interesting and definitely helped me understand each subject matter better. I not only learnt a lot about the subject but about myself too. I highly recommend Simon for management and sales training.

Pin-Ju Chiang Network Director, Network N

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.
