Toby is engaging and fun with laser focus. A highly effective combination.
I attended Toby's Entrepreneur Breakthrough Day and it did exactly what it said on the tin and more. I had several 'lightbulb' moments, really delved into some area's of my personal development, as well as the business that I had underestimated the importance of..
I came away with a host of creative idea's on way's to increase my client reach and a list of practical to do's to support the growth of my business. Perhaps more importantly, I came away feeling more confident with a clear vision of what I will achieve in the next year.
James Davey has been working with me as a business mentor these last 18 months.
He has helped me focus on both the future direction and current priorities.
James has helped me to grow my revenues by 30% and make the business more profitable. Without the resilience built in and a listening ear we would not have survived the covid pandemic!!
Mike Drain
Managing Director
I attended the £100kpa Peer Mentoring Group with Toby, it was an outstanding event.
Toby's structured approach and lessons in entrepreneurship were invaluable. The group consisted of like-minded business owners from various industries, all serious about growing their knowledge, skills, mindset and, of course, businesses.
I left the meeting with much needed clarity and a set of defined, actionable steps to progress my success journey. A big thank you to Toby and Sales Masters Guild.
If you are serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur, then you need to speaking with Toby Acton
Shen Sidana - Buzz Storm digital Marketing
I have been working with Jo since September last year.
I cannot thank her enough for the time she gives me and the mentoring to help me move my business forward.
Jo helps me to separate what's really important in my business and keeps me focusing on my time management. I look forward to our monthly peer group sessions as it's time out of the business for me to think, reflect and idea generate.
Jo keeps in touch with me during the month and those check ins are vitally important to me. I highly recommend working with Jo and the Sales Masters Guild.
Having attended a number of the Sales Masters Guild workshops, ran by Olivier, I found each of them to be very well structured, thought-provoking & highly informative...
If you have the opportunity to attend one, please don't hesitate and go.
As well as being a highly experienced business mentor and sales professional, who has a real passion to help others achieve their commercial goals Olivier has the unique ability to take people's ideas/concepts and turn them into well articulated and compelling business proposition
If you are looking to grow your business, I highly recommend some expert guidance from Olivier.
I first met Jo during a networking event and I always felt her willingness to help others was a trait many professional don't act on.
This led to going on one of her courses called Pro Networker and I came out of it feeling like superman.
The peer group atmosphere had a communal yet personalised feel that created many light bulb moments hard to forget. Regardless of what industry you are in, Jo will surely take your business to the next level.
The Sales Foundation workshop, I found it to be truly excellent. Clearly defining the sales process and how to work through it with potential new clients.
The training is very interactive, very enjoyable and one benefits from having other business owners present.
I recommend this sales training course to anyone looking to improve the effectiveness of their sales operation
The expert knowledge of sales and his fantastic teaching ability has made a massive difference to my confidence in every aspect of my business.
Huge thanks to John Kettley for changing the way I now look at the business world and produce measurably greater results.
His back-up calls and continuous correspondence are greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!
Thoroughly recommend working with Olivier if you want to grow your business and need guidance and support to get you there.
Whether it's challenges you need help to navigate or inspiration to help you keep going, he is brilliant at both.
We are lucky enough to have known Olivier for several years and are now working with him individually as part of his mastermind group and it is making a massive difference to our sanity and our impact in the business. Thank you Olivier.
James is both an excellent teacher and personal business mentor, he has helped me stand back from my business and see opportunities I would have otherwise missed.
His knowledge on social Media is extensive and the lessons he has delivered have taken our marketing campaigns to the next level.
Lesley is an expert in helping business owners to clarify their thoughts...
She helped me to think more strategically and to avoid being sidetracked by interesting, but irrelevant, activities that do not add value and do not take me closer to my goals.
The questioning style Lesley used, along with her extensive knowledge of business processes, led to our finding a range of new options to consider and to the production of a realistic action plan for me to follow in the coming months.
I would recommend Lesley to any business owner who is committed to growing their business and who is prepared to 're-think' approaches to achieving long-term business goals.
Toby's Pro Networker Training session helped to provide clarity and focus to my approach to networking.
I came away with lots of useful tips and tricks to implement straight away, which will make my networking in future more assured, confident and beneficial to the business.
I attended the Sales Master Guild training to improve my sales conversion ratios. I found the course invaluable even to someone who has had been on several sales training courses in the past.
You can always learn something new and by implementing just a small change it will change your results, this course explains the sales process well and adds a new dimension to it...
Davina Farrer - Utility Warehouse
I attended a fantastic 2020 planning workshop that Lesley hosted on 19th December 2019. It was a highly focused day which involved deep reflection of our past successes and failures before putting in place a strategic action plan towards generating more wealth in our lives
Lesley was totally professional in her manner creating a safe space for people to share openly about their businesses and what they were hoping to achieve.
This was only possible because of calm, empathetic and professional manner with which Lesley lead the group. My big take away was how I really got to think more about my unique USP in a completely different way.
I wish when I first started my business, many years ago, that I had had Lesley in my life. Seriously, if you want to be successfuol as a business person, do not go past GO until you have planned your business first. Thank you Lesley, again for this gift.
“The Sales foundation workshop was fantastic!!
I’ve already personally referred two of my clients and the results have been fantastic. Any business owner looking to increase their sales should come on this course and send their sales teams through this process”…
Scott Dwyer - Motivations
Jo is a fabulous mentor and joining her Peer Group was the best decision I have ever made for myself and my business.
She is very knowledgeable and experienced, and is constantly pushing me towards the next level, next goal. But the best thing for me is that Jo always makes me think outside the box.
She helped me to define my Value Proposition, identify my Ideal Client which resulted in opening a floodgate of new business. Jo is the best investment in your business and personal growth!
I recently attended Oliver's Sales & Negotiation Course through the Sales Master's Guild. Olivier's course was extremely well thought out and was delivered perfectly. It personally gave me the confidence boost I needed. It has helped me to feel positive again in everyway and ready for 2019. Olivier is extremely professional in his approach, yet also able to make people feel very relaxed and able to enjoy what they do much more. I have already had the pleasure of seeing Olivier since the course and him having the faith in me to do well has made me feel very excited about what is yet to come in the New Year. I look forward to working with Olivier more throughout the year and putting what I have learnt from him into good practice
I met Lesley at the beginning of the year, when my company started the transformation process.
I've joined Lesley’s Mentored Peer Group, which helps me look at my business from a different perspective, shape the business strategy and focus on the most critical tasks at the moment.
The great thing about the Peer Group is a fact that I can work closely not only with her, but also other business owners where we can share, listen and learn from each other.
I would recommend Lesley to anyone who is looking for clarity and direction in their business
You can't climb Everest alone!
This is where John Kettley is exceptional. If you want rapid success it's crucial to have an accountability partner or 'mentor'. John has helped me to completely redefine my own version of success and move rapidly toward the results I wanted to achieve.
They say "nothing happens until a sale takes place" and if you want more sales then John is the go to man to can help you develop those skills.
Most business challenges can be solved if you're generating sales and John is a genuine expert in helping people do just that. Take a few minutes to see what he could do for you. You won't be disappointed.
James has pioneered business growth support for many years in East Anglia, helping business owners to evaluate their strategy and processes resulting in profitable growth.
I have known James for a number of years, and had the pleasure of working alongside him on the ISSBA committee, in the pursuit of success for others. James will bring ‘success with a smile’ to your organisation.
Having completed the Advanced Sales and Marketing Course, I walked in one person and came out a completely different more motivated and confident individual knowing exactly what my business does and for whom.
The methods you learn on the course completely change your perception and business life, giving you the motivation to succeed.
I would recommend that any business owner finding every day business a challenge have a chat with John Kettley at the Sales Masters Guild team."
Having worked with James firstly when he was Chairman of Ipswich & Suffolk Small Business Association, and now by participating in his Sales Master Guild programme, I can't recommend him highly enough.
Personable, insightful and highly skilled in helping to demystify number crunching, he is a pleasure to work with and really goes the extra mile to help grow your business to the next level.
