"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
I’ve had the pleasure of attending 5 of Simon’s courses this year; Resilience, Customer Service, Presenting Magically, Closing Skills and Time Management & Personal Effectiveness. Each 1 has been beneficial to me in both my job role and my personal life. Simon is a brilliant trainer, especially because he makes everyone feel included and shows that he values their opinions. The courses are always great fun and I really appreciate the skills he has taught me. I look forward to many more training classes with Simon in 2019!Lauren Harrison Assistant Category Manager at NMBS (National Merchant Buying Society)
If you are looking for an exceptional trainer to improve the team in your company, then look no further! I can highly recommend Simon Hares the trainer & developer of People at SerialTrainer7. From our last negotiating skills workshop – one of our team said ‘it was great training, the best I’ve ever attended’ honestly in 25 years of marketing Simon Hares really ‘gets people and the needs of a business to develop their people’. Give him a call and make a real change in your business for short medium and long term growth!Julia Budniak Marketing Director Yachting Pages Media Group
Simon trained our retail team at Dickies Europe with a variety of structured and well planned courses designed with our specific inter company operations in mind. By far the best training in retail I have experienced (I have 20yrs retail experience). Simon put me at ease from the beginning and had me enjoying the training sessions from start to finish with the content actually sinking in!! His knowledge and experience regarding all the subjects he covered filled you with the confidence that, what was being taught came from a person who had tried and succeeded at them. I can’t recommend Simon enough and believe whatever your business/ goals, he can help with outstanding training & support.Wayne Rawlins Store Manager at Dickies
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
Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Simon delivered a sales and service training course for our team, he was fantastic! Very informative, engaging and knowledgeable, he gave real life examples and linked it perfectly to what we needed to cover. A brilliant trainer, a brilliant course, highly recommended!Drew Hollins Roberts Recruitment and Training Coordinator
I can't say enough about how valuable, exciting, and enjoyable my first SalesTrainer7 course was with Simon. After my 3-day course, I walked away a more confident and motivated sales professional. Simon is highly knowledgeable, open-minded, and collaborative. I now have more resources and skills than I've ever had before in my profession. If you are looking to provide valuable solutions for your clients, and grow your business... introduce yourself to Simon.Sarah Griffith Bioscience Account Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific
I started at Future as part of the graduate scheme with no idea what to expect and very little sales training. I’m now approaching two years with the company and not a day goes by without using some element of the training I received from Simon.Chris Furness Sales Executive. Future
I contacted Simon amongst many other sales trainers as I was starting a new role and wanted to ensure I was full prepared. Simon was far superior to all others that I had contacted, he asked what I wanted to achieve and built a 6 week program around that. After completing the program I started my new role and within the first quarter I had already exceeded my sales quota and am into my first full year and 2 months in I have achieved 53% of my annual number. I would love to say this was all me but credit where credits due, he has great sales knowledge and couldn't recommend him more.Edward F. Application and Risk Security Specialist
Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
My sessions with Simon have been fantastic. I love how the training is not at all robotic or full of uncomfortable role play sessions. Everything we went through was relevant to current times and felt very up to date. Simon is extremely approachable and always reminding you that he is happy to help at anytime, so the training doesn't stop at the end of the session. Thanks Simon, looking forward to our session early next year!John Billinghurst Brand Sales Executive, Immediate Media Co
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
He challenges me to take responsibility for my personal performance and always tailors training to individual circumstances. I apply his advice and always experience direct results, he is the most effective trainer and coach I have ever encountered.Clair Atkins Account Director. Future Plus
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
