Bio
Tiffany Allan
Nigel is an expert on leadership, team engagement and sales training. His course was well paced and taught sales strategies that were easy to put into practice. He gave clear goals and objectives each day to keep the team on track. By the end of Nigel's training, I felt well equipped to take on prospect research, cold calls, gatekeepers, communication with IT managers and grew in overall in confidence. My professional development improved vastly and I cannot wait to engage in more training sessions regarding mindset and confidence building!

I and 14 others were lucky enough to receive a week-long training course taught in large by Nigel, with the help of his colleague Sam on one particular day. Both of them delivered an engaging and informative course and were extremely attentive towards us pupils. I highly, highly recommend Nigel!

Nigel is a first-class and engaging coach 👍🏻 Through my company collaborating with S3 Sales, I've had the privilege of joining some of his workshops, a key one for me being on public speaking and techniques for presenting to an audience. At our recent company conference, I had the opportunity to present in front of everyone in the company, and with Nigel's insights, top tips and techniques, it went incredibly well. Some sales training that you may receive is generic and impersonal, or outdated (ie. death by PowerPoint), but this isn't the case with Nigel. Each time we've been in a session, he ensures that everyone connects and gets involved in the session, that everyone understands the content and then gets us putting it into practice with tasks relevant to your business, product or role. 💡 I'm looking forward to more sessions with him over the coming months and even more "eureka" moments that follow them, as I re-evaluate how I do things and improve 🤩✨ I would recommend Nigel to any business that wants to help their sales teams sell more effectively and other teams iterate, evaluate what they do and improve - thanks Nigel!

I specialise in making organisations' More Competitive and help them: ➡︎ Raise Employee Engagement ➡︎ Get into the TOP100 Best Companies ➡︎ Sell more profitably, quickly, and beat the competition There’s never been a greater need for companies to improve their competitiveness, but how do you achieve this when you are so focused on winning deals and finding new business? There really isn’t the time to sit back and look at the overall picture and come up with an all-encompassing strategy. Most companies struggle with this dilemma because: a) They haven’t got the resource or expertise in house b) They haven’t got the time or capacity to do it. We can help you because we’ve helped companies just like yours increase their Leadership qualities, increase Sales, increase Competitiveness, and reduce their Sales costs. If the above appeals to you and your organisation then we can help. My team and I have worked with some of the world’s leading companies to help them grow their business. Our unique transformation tools and methodologies combined with our experience of best practices mean we can help you achieve the business growth that you require. Show less
