Testimonials
Katie Dignan, Head of Sales Development, Pinsent Masons LLP
Andy and Paul have a deep understanding of the team and cultural issues facing professional service firms. Their work with Pinsent Masons over the last three years has been invaluable in assisting our associates to step up to the business development demands required of future Partners. They are also great fun to work with!
Iain Wright, Senior Manager, KPMG
I first met Andy and Paul when they gave a presentation at the KPMG Birmingham Transaction Services Annual Conference in October 2004. Following the Conference, I arranged one-on-one coaching with Andy. These sessions were even more valuable in enabling me to practice and develop the practical “soft” skills that I need for my job.
John Handley, Senior Director, Lloyds Development Capital
I've experienced plenty of ideas on sales and influencing, but I must say I found your combination of analysis and alternative techniques both fascinating and illuminating.
Jackie McLaughlin, Head of Facilities Europe, DLA Piper LLP
Andy's facilitation style is relaxed and encouraging, but he is also able to get to the nub of an issue very quickly, and keep discussions on track and to the point. What was really worthwhile from the perspective of a practical group of people is that in addition to stimulating 'out of the box' discussion we were able to identify and formulate strategic level objectives.
Karl Pestell, Head of Market Risk, Lloyds Banking Group
Many thanks for all your help in thinking about the strategic issues my company and role face. The additional clarity has been invaluable, as has been the work we have done to enhance the way in which I have communicated this within the organisation.
Graham Black, Regional Director, Buro Four Project Managers and Consultants
The process was not simply another training course. It was a bespoke mentoring approach that continued with our people over a period of months, at an appropriate pace to suit each individual. The tangible results have been fantastic.
James Stevenson, Group Risk and Insurance Manager, SEGRO Plc
Andrew's gift as a coach is his ability to offer unusual ways to look at issues that make the right decision suddenly seem clear.
Deborah Spence, BlueSky (Corporate Finance Advisors)
Thanks very much for yesterday. Having been on a number of Selling Skills courses over the years, which have ultimately not changed the way I sell at all, it was refreshing to attend a course that didn't focus on "funnels" and "closing"! As always, your style and approach is one that I find inspiring, yet pragmatic - unfortunately, something that is all too rare in corporate training.
