"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’s training engagement within ComputerWorld has been transformational for the business. The feedback from the teams that Simon’s been involved with couldn’t be more glowing around his approach, his energy and his humorous yet compelling way of delivering the content. The team look forward to his sessions and you can feel the increased energy and buzz in the office whenever he’s working with us. I think the fact many of the ComputerWorld team have without prompt written LinkedIn recommendations absolutely speaks volumes for how compelling, relevant and engaging his sessions are, and more importantly how they’ve been able to apply that learning to great effect in their roles. Looking forward to continuing the great work with Simon through the rest of 2018 and beyond

John Armstrong Managing Director at ComputerWorld

Simon brings clarity, inventiveness and precision born out of expert knowledge. He maintains a light touch but has relentless focus on the particular tasks at hand. Those he trains and supports are more effective for it.

Simon is a highly skilled and engaging sales trainer. I thoroughly enjoyed the training I have received from Simon and benefited from it immensely. Simon has a unique talent for reading and understanding each individual delegates personality and strengths in a short timescale, and draws the best out of them accordingly. His personal approach and ongoing coaching have been invaluable.

Thank You Simon 🙌🏻

Kai Hepworth Director Of Operations at Marstons PLC

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

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.

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

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

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

He is a truly lovely person and a very skilled trainer and business coach.

Richard Foster European Managing Director. Krux Digital

Simon was invaluable to myself, when I began to co-host a series of in-house training seminars. He really took the time to make me feel as if I could communicate quite complicated ideas effectively in a short space of time, even though I’d never hosted a large scale formal training session before.

Joss Hutton Digital & Print Project Manager

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Couldn’t have been presented better. Simon is extremely inspiring. Best training I have EVER had.

Tom Holden Asst Store Manager. Hargroves Cycles

I've just completed the Wainwright Management Academy delivered by Simon Hares of Serial Trainer 7. Without doubt the most informative, engaging and enjoyable training I have received to date. Work based training can often be seen as getting in the way of the 'day job' but this was a privilege to be part of. It delivered so much in such a dynamic and enthusiastic manner it was impossible to be anything other than stimulated by it. The content was excellently tailored to our needs, and challenging which added to the experience. I believe both the course content and Simons approach has helped galvanised the team and given us the knowledge and tools to help take the business to another level. A competitive edge has definitely been gained. The only disappointment is after 9 months the training has come to an end. Would I recommend this training........ Absolutely!

Kevin Saunders Business Improvement Manager

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.

Caroline Barnes Head of HR at Green Gourmet Ltd

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.
