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.

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.

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!

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

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.

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

Richard Foster European Managing Director. Krux Digital

It is not an exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for the training, support and guidance I received from Simon that I would not be in the position in work that I currently am.

Tony Marshall Operations Manager. Hewitson Walker

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.

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

I don't think I'm alone in saying that when you see the words 'management training session' suddenly blocking out three hours of your day, you can't help but get THAT sinking feeling. And yet, from the moment we loaded up our Zoom call of five managers, Simon was immediately engaging, charismatic and genuinely inspirational. His training style had us constantly involved, discussing concepts and our own perspectives, and he cultivated an honest environment where we felt safe to share our thoughts. After only a few hours we were hungry for further reading, and the topics discussed had an immediate impact on my interactions with the team. Our follow up one-to-one call after the session was invaluable, and I feel significantly better placed to deal with the management challenges of our new working situation.

Louise Blain Writer, producer & presenter, Dialect Inc

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

Tom Holden Asst Store Manager. Hargroves Cycles

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

Thoroughly recommend Simon and the Serial Trainer 'management essentials' course. Simon is clearly an experienced leader with the ability to professionally deliver detailed theory and real life examples.
