"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

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 came and ran a presentation skills training to my team at Just Eat Takeaway, and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience. Everyone in the team enjoyed it and got a lot of value out of the day which we will be using in our day to day jobs. The session was structured, informative and pushed us out of our comfort zones but his delivery of the session was inclusive and allowed us to bond as a team and with him in the process. I could not recommend Simon and his company more, I hope we get to join another training session of yours soon!

Rosie ( 玫瑰) Benbow Product @ Just Eat Takeaway.com

Simon has ninja-like training skills. He was among the most professional and dedicated people I worked with. He is one of the good guys.

Simon Tapscott Founder/MD. Do Good Things

Simon is one of kindest, considerate and courteous people I have met, blessed with an abundance of emotional intelligence.

Sales Training 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

Simon has been working with the sales team at ComputerWorld over the past several months and it's been a truly enriching experience. With the plethora of "trainers" just regurgitating the same old spiel it's refreshing to have someone come in and not only teach you new techniques but to also teach in new and innovative ways. Three days worth of training and not a PowerPoint in sight! Simon is a natural born Salesman but more than that he's an expert teacher who clearly has passion for what he does and that really shines through. If you're considering using Simon's services you won't be disappointed!

Max Garrett Security Solutions Specialist at Computerworld Group

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Simon, I’ve found him very motivating, everything what he says is relevant, very effective, he listened to me and gave me lots of ideas that have proved to work, as a difference from other trainers he definitely got me thinking and making positive changes in my relations with my clients. As a sales person I’ve found his training extremely helpful.Thank you Simon and I hope to continue working with you in the future.

Eli Araujo-Goral Account Manager. Yachting Pages Media Group

Having recently completed my first set of training sessions with Simon across the last few months, I can say with hand on heart that it has not only enriched my sales techniques but given me unparalleled confidence in my new position at MediaClash. Simon has given the team a broad understanding of sales; from negotiation to presentation skills. Although admittedly quite a daunting prospect having to put these skills into practice, they have naturally been filtering through into my every day work. Simon has an approach to presentation like no other; there are no tedious powerpoint presentations, his seminars/workshops are interactive and compelling. So much so that I have definitely been exhausted by the end of each day! Thank you for your valuable help at the initial stages of my career in media sales for Bath Life magazine. I look forward to working with you again in near future.

Polly Jackson Account Manager at MediaClash

Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials 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)

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.

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

Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7

Myself and my colleagues received several training sessions from Simon, all of which were excellent; interesting, informative, fun, modern, collaborative. I've now attended sales, management and negotiation courses with him and have picked up a wealth of new skills and information each time. The experience as a whole was extremely refreshing, and even a day-long course over several hours seems to fly by. I would highly recommend Simon and SerialTrainer7.

Ryan Napolitano Network Partnerships Manager at Network N 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.

Simon Taylor Operations Manager at GB Lubricants

He helped me challenge myself to become the strong leader I needed to be. I was able to secure training from him that equipped my team and myself to handle the challenges and pressures being faced. Simon helped us develop as individuals to allow us to realise our full potential and deliver the business goals.

Ron Kelly Head of Media Sales. Higgs International Publishing Ltd & Sector Head Publishing for DHL Global Forwarding

I first met Simon in the Summer of 2019 during our face to face training course. This year we had a new focus on refreshing our skills and due to COVID the course was covered virtually and I had initial reservations. I can honestly say I did not need to worry. There was no death by powerpoint just a wealth of knowledge delivered in an interactive way that left me with tactics I could use implement immediately. Simon has a way of making everyone feel an important and equal part of the conversation. Simon is authentic, likeable and talks with passion that cannot fail to excite you, rare among the trainers I have seen over the years! Thank you!
