"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

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

After attending Simons training course I left with a new set of skills and knowledge and highly motivated to implement what I had learnt. He has a great deal of knowledge and his professionalism was plain to see. Thank you Simon.

George Youel Personal trainer at Stanza fitness Bath

Training can only have an impact if it is engaging and you can apply it to your role and that is exactly how Simon trains. You can tell how much passion Simon has for getting across his training in the right way and he is always able to give real world examples. Simon is a great guy that practises what he preaches and I can not highly recommend him enough for any training needs you may have.

Reece Gerrard Category Manager, NMBS (National Merchant Buying Society)

Simon is a fantastic trainer. He sees everyone in his sessions as individuals, understanding them quickly and offers advice and tailors his teaching style depending on the people. I and my team have really benefited from his training as he provides you skills and strategies that help improve yourself in a personal and professional way. I would absolutely recommend Simon and his training to anyone.

Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

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

Quirky, passionate knowledgeable and exciting are a few words that spring to mind when i think of Simon and his training sessions. The way Simon delivers his sessions are a far cry from the usual 'Cheesy' sales training courses. Regardless of the size of the class Simon takes time to get to know YOU as an individual and find out how you learn. Simon's mix of professionalism and humor is a recipe for a great learning environment. I cannot wait to hammer the phones today and put some of Simon's techniques in to practice. I would highly recommend Simon for 1-2-1 or group training. GET YOURSELF BOOKED IN!

Bradley Lye Sales and Business Development at MediaClash

Simon’s training technique and his personality are an inspiration to me. He gets his message across very efficiently and tailors his approach to each individual. He realises the importance of how everyone is different and his advice and training is always relevant and specific. I enjoy my training sessions with Simon very much and always come away with a positive feeling and excitment of putting his advice into action. Simon has a way of making you feel respected and valued and I am grateful for all the knowledge he has passed onto me. I truly believe his intentions are to make me better at my work but also as a person. I am very happy to recommend his training to anyone wanting no nonsense training and advice in sales.

Laura Presley Account Manager. Yachting Pages Media Group

I can highly recommend Simon. An exceptional trainer, he did an exemplary job training a diverse group in the latest thinking around sales processes and psychology. One of the most insightful people I’ve met in a long time.

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

I’ve recently attended a couple of Simon’s training sessions and their way of coaching is brilliant. They give real life examples and new ways of thinking. Their training has definitely developed my own skills and I would highly recommend their training.

Lewis Bacon Trust Recruitment Coordinator, NHS Professionals

Simon is a good listener and a great motivator, nothing is too much trouble.

Kate Stothard Asst Manager. Future PhotoStudio

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's training has been fundamental in helping me to step up my skills as an employee, a colleague, and a manager. His straightforward, no-nonsense approach will have you quickly seeing every day work situations in a new light, as well as your role in your business and team. I've learned how to amplify not only my own strengths, but those of my teammates, too. Expect sage advice, expect to be faced with challenges, and expect to (safely) step outside your comfort zone, with great reward. I'd recommend Simon and SerialTrainer7 in a heartbeat.

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

I have had the pleasure of working with Simon for the past 6 months, during which he has provided a comprehensive management development programme to our business and coaching. Simon is a truly inspirational trainer and coach. He has an ability to engage with a wide range of staff due to his knowledge, engaging and interactive training methods and infectious personality. I would highly recommend his services to any business looking at investing in management development.  

Lisa Saunders HR Director. John Wainwright & Co. Ltd.

Simon came in for Sales training a few weeks back and all I can say is what an experience! The energy, insight knowledge and approach that Simon has really energised our team as well as allowing us to approach our working day with vigour and with many more tools at our disposal. Although it was a week long course, it felt like it was over in flash because of the way that Simon interacted with us. The content was great and also Simon's reactions to suggestions and behaviour is conducive to a very open learning atmosphere where everyone's opinion is valued. I really enjoyed myself, heavily recommend working with Simon and look forward to seeing him in the future.  

Christian Earle Business Development. Webgains

Simon provided my management coaching during my time at Network N, and I couldn't have asked for a better tutor. He injects what could easily be a dry subject with energy and enthusiasm that encourages you not to just take on board his lessons, but to investigate management technique beyond his sessions. By teaching via discussion and creative tasks, he generates a positive and comfortable environment within which you can tackle your management challenges and shortcomings. Most important of all, his support extends beyond the sessions themselves; while I've never needed to call on Simon for help, I always know I can.

Matthew Purslow News and Entertainment Writer at IGN Entertainment

Simon was recommended to us just under 12 months ago when we asked him to run a Selling Skills Workshop for our Sales team. Simon is enthusiastic, engaging and a complete expert in his field and the training was some of the most successful we have delivered. Since then I have come to view Simon as an extension to our HR function providing training ranging from Customer Services and Resilience through to Communications Skills and our next exciting project of creating a management academy for our first line managers. Without Simon I simply wouldn’t have been able to deliver this calibre of training to our teams within my budget. I trust in his delivery entirely and always find we are on the same page when we discuss the outputs required from training. He has fantastic insight through his work with so many organisations worldwide and uses a great blend of the fundamentals of any given subject with the latest thinking and application in today’s forever changing workplace. Simon is a pleasure to work with and I’m thrilled to call him part of the Green Gourmet team.
