So, what to say about Sally R?

I was aware of Sally’s reputation – and had the benefit of insider info from very trusted sources regarding her approach, philosophy and impact. To paraphrase the Bernard-Shaw maxim – ‘Those that can – do. Those that can’t – teach’. The point being that there are many ‘trainers, coaches and gurus’ – who can cite theory, but often can’t rock the reality.

Sally, is without doubt one of the most authentic, energised, impactful, focused and committed strategic partners we’ve ever engaged. ‘Sales training’ doesn’t do justice to the contribution Sally has made. There has been a seismic shift in energy, focus, teamwork, cooperation, confidence/can do – in each and every member of the team.

I like to measure the impact/results of any business investment – to cut through any rhetoric and/or fluff. Sally delivers substance and empirical/objective results – direct and indirect value, every time. She completely ‘gets’ and understands the mindset, motivation and drivers of key stakeholders – whether investors, executives, managers or team members – never losing sight of the agenda/justification for making an investment in training or any other investment for that matter.

The cost/benefit is self-evident.

The response from the team has been overwhelming. As with any other business, we have those that go at it like a bull at a gate and others who stand back to wait and see. By the time we hit the final presentations everyone was jostling to share their ‘sales bible’ presentation. First class content, presentation and substance all round.

We all know what good looks like. ‘Great’ however, comes in the form of Sally Roberts. Steven Street, COO

We’ve had the absolute honour of working with Sally for in excess of 2 years. What started off with our customer service team pre lockdown, evolved into an online immersive experience as Sally reacted to our new world of online zooms. Not only were we able to continue to provide the engaging training to our customer service team, but we chose to roll out this training to all areas of our business. We soon realised that we not only have external customers but we also have internal ones who are equally as important and valued. This proved incredibly powerful in improving internal communications and
building stronger and more productive relationships. Relationships built on empathy, trust and respect.

Sally linked all the training to our values, really bringing them to life. While producing engaging and useful content that could be immediately implemented in the day to day.

Sally’s energy, passion and enthusiasm is unrivalled. A real whirlwind that you just want to be around.

Dan Williams CEO Orean

Sally always brings positive thoughts, motivation and a lot of fun to her training sessions. The weeks have flown by, every week the whole team would take something away from the training, which has changed the way we operate. At the start of the 13 weeks we had several doubters, but over the weeks you could see them come round to the training and start to really engage. All the in-person training was reinforced with a Zoom “Coffee and Success” meeting on a Friday morning. She may push you outside your comfort zone but now I really understand why I have to stand like a tree!

Thank you, Sally and I hope it won’t be too long before we are working with you again.

Having involved Sally in both our customer service and sales teams, it was obvious what a positive effect the training had. The training courses were excellent and led to our decision to have the sales team work with Sally for an extended term. The success and results the sales team have achieved have been outstanding, I would definitely recommend Sally’s exceptional training and experience.

Heather Mawrey, Managing Director Beaucare

We have sadly just finished training with Sally! As a company and as individuals, we have always believed that ‘you never know it all,’ and we want to ensure that we always provide the best service to our customers. Therefore, we relied on Sally’s expertise to confirm that we were doing everything we could. The sessions were brilliant, very upbeat, and met our needs and wants. Sally kept the team engaged, which isn’t easy on Zoom, but she achieved this with enthusiasm and knowledge. I recommend Sally to any organisation seeking assistance or perhaps just looking to refine what they already have and elevate it to the next level. You won’t regret it! Invest in your business and your team with an expert like Sally, as she will help add value to your business. We have already made changes and will continue implementing what we have learned. We love eating big fat frogs! Thank you, Sally!

Our 13-week sales training program with Sally has been a game-changer for our team. The comprehensive curriculum was both engaging and challenging, pushing our salespeople to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new strategies.

Sally’s expert guidance and hands-on approach, created a dynamic and supportive learning environment. The program culminated in impressive individual presentations, demonstrating the team’s deep understanding and application of the training materials.

If you’re seeking to elevate your sales team’s performance and drive significant sales transformation, I wholeheartedly recommend Sally’s exceptional sales coaching and training services.

Sally has been providing sales training for the Business Development Managers here at Concorde Technology. The training is delivered with passion, energy and professionalism and appeals to all participants no matter what level of experience they have or think they have. Sally makes the training interactive and interesting, delivering modules from “Improving LinkedIn and how to use it effectively” to, “Effective networking and its advantages”. I would, without doubt recommend Sally to all organisations that wish to educate & re-invigorate their sales teams.

Jonathan Helps, Concorde Technology

A refreshing departure from traditional courses, Sally’s training program keeps you engaged and challenged. It’s a fun and interactive experience that reinforces fundamental skills and introduces valuable new techniques. I’m excited to apply these new insights to my work. It’s never too late to learn or refresh your skills, and I highly recommend Sally’s training to anyone looking to elevate their performance.

An absolutely inspiring presentation from Sally at the Breakthrough in Branch event at Santander in Harrogate last week. The theme was all around Business Growth and Adapting to Change. Sally’s session was interactive and brilliantly pitched to a wide range of businesses from heating/plumbing engineers to solicitors and accountants. If you want to have happy, engaged staff who you want to sell in the right way then I couldn’t think of anybody better than Sally to help you achieve this!
Paul Webster

At a time when many claim to be ‘different’ and have the ‘solution’ Sally really is and she does. After two intense and fun days, my team were energised with new ideas and a process guaranteed to yield results. So only a few weeks after training confidence is brimming, social media activity is up, calls are up, meetings are up and we are building more relationships. Thank you Sally.
Brian Dobson

Sally is enthusiastic, energetic and very knowledgeable. Her approach is different and it gets people thinking and then engaging while having fun. Alongside the training, Sally loves connecting people, so all parties benefit. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to improve the skillset of their sales team and really motivate them.
James Knox

I recently attended the “Learn to sell in a day” course at Rudding Park. If you’re looking for a high energy, fast paced and fun training session, Sally should be your first port of call. Having attended many previous sales training courses, by comparison this was far more energetic and thought provoking. Incredible how much content can be packed into a few hours!
Richard Sharman

Sally’s sales training program is a game-changer. With nearly a decade of experience in sales, I can confidently say this course is truly exceptional. Unlike traditional training programs, Sally’s approach is highly engaging and interactive. Rather than passive note-taking, the program encourages active participation and practical application. Just four weeks after completing the course, I’ve already seen significant improvements in my performance. By implementing the strategies and techniques taught by Sally, I’ve been able to generate more appointments and close more deals. I highly recommend Sally’s training to any business looking to elevate their sales team and drive revenue growth.

Sally is truly a master of her craft, delivering world-class sales training and coaching. Her ability to create engaging and impactful learning experiences is unparalleled.  I was initially sceptical, prioritising results over fun. However, Sally quickly proved me wrong. Her high-energy approach makes the learning process enjoyable and significantly boosts knowledge retention and skill application. Beyond the training sessions, Sally’s commitment to her clients is evident in her pre- and post-session support. She provides invaluable resources, such as recommended books, podcasts, and connections to industry experts.
