"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)
Simon’s reputation has always been that of being an outstanding trainer who really has a long-term impact on those he delivers training to. This obviously was always going to be more challenging due to Covid-19 restrictions and not being able to meet teams face to face. Simon from the start realised that he would not be able to deliver a training course to the team in the same way via Zoom. He understood that you can’t keep a team of people engaged for 7 hours via Zoom. It just would not have the same impact as face the face training. He therefore completely adapted his approach using shorter group sessions and discussions and also doing longer one to one follow up meetings. The team loved it! They were completely engaged and found his approach both warm and engaging. I could not recommend Simon highly enough. You definitely do not need to wait to have training return to being all in the same room, Simon’s skill and ability to adapt to the changing work environment is truly inspirational.Ingrid Maher Roberts Human Resources Manager, Dialect Inc
When I started my entrepreneurial journey, and subsequently, my LinkedIn journey, I can easily say one of the absolute highlights of both was meeting Simon and getting to know him on a professional as well as personal level. A true gentleman, consummate professional, and brilliant sales and management coach, I can't think of anyone I would want to recommend more in any capacity. From smart, cutting edge sales training to award-winning leadership and management coaching, Simon does it all, and does it with class, style, and a whole lot of fun! His advice and golden nuggets are always spot on and amazingly helpful, and I think everyone on LinkedIn looks forward to his next review of the latest sales book on the market! If your company needs any help at all with sales, leadership, or management, "your next click" is Simon and his company, Serial Trainer 7. I feel quite honored to call him a colleague and a friend, and cannot recommend him enough.Allan Langer Trainer & Coach - CUSTOMIZED
I just completed 2 days of training with Simon and found it so refreshing. I walked away feeling that I am able to use everything I've learned in my current role. I found all the information we covered was useful and relevant. I enjoyed every minute and probably the most fun training I've had. Really looking forward to the future sessions we have.Sheena Turner Account Development Manager at CIPHR

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.

Energetic, enthusiastic and authoritative. Simon helped to guide our whole team through three days of valuable sales training. Throughout the three days it was delivered with great energy, a true enthusiasm for sales and above all with authority. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found it incredibly valuable to my development. Thank you Simon!Paul Longley Business Development Executive at The Ophthalmologist
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
Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Having known and worked with Simon for many years, I was very pleased to have him on board as our trainer. Simon’s courses are brilliant and he spends time in tailoring them to your business needs and to attendees. He takes the time to get to know everyone, observe attendees, evaluate them and nourish them in the most effective way. This isn’t just for business gain, but he genuinely cares about an individual’s progress, both professionally and personally. His additional ongoing support of is valuable and shows the belief he has in individuals and where he can make a difference.Abi Pocock Clinical Trials Administrator, Royal United Hospital, NHS
Simon is a good listener and a great motivator, nothing is too much trouble.Kate Stothard Asst Manager. Future PhotoStudio
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
Simon offered both professional and personal help at a time I needed it to progress.Will Guyatt Communications Manager. Instagram
Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
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
I have just attended Simon’s Management and Leadership masterclass organised by the UKLA and really enjoyed it. It was a fun, engaging and current one-day course. Would recommend it to any new managers. I will now consider Simon’s other courses for my team and myself too. Thanks!Sebastien Mallet Global Sales and Marketing Manager, Ironsides Lubricants
Cannot recommend Simon enough. After just completing an intensive course remotely on Management and Leadership, I have come away with more in-depth knowledge on areas I had touched on in my CIMA studies as well as areas I was not familiar with. Although some areas were out of my comfort zone, there was no judgement and the feeling of being part of close group was something not encountered on a training course before. I love the way Simon is so honest and open with us. It allows you to be comfortable sharing your thoughts and opinions to help work through issues and develop further.Sharon Addenbrooke Finance Manager, Network N
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
