Feedback from previous in-company training clients...


"We identified an opportunity to improve our sales team’s presentation skills and needed professional help to make it happen. Stuart took time to understand our business and the training requirements of our staff. He was thorough in the pre-planning stage and was able to understand our training objectives and tailor his course to suit.

With only one day we had a lot of material to cover and Stuart created a positive learning environment for all involved. Initially addressing the presentation structure in theory, Stuart created a safe environment for the team to ‘test’ their new skills by presenting to their peers. 

I had positive feedback from all who participated and the result of improved presentations is already evident. Stuart provided our team with the steps and strategies to provide an effective presentation in the future."

Kylie Kinsella Sales Manager – Australia & NZ Hurll Nu-Way (Heating, cooling and process equipment)

"AUSCOAL Super was looking for refinement and improvement for our Australia-wide based team of financial advisers, planners and managers who constantly present face to face seminars and workshops.

Being a not for profit AUSCOAL Super needed the presentation skills without the hard sell and after extensive research Stuart Ayling was a clear leader to partner with AUSCOAL Super to prepare for our 2010 seminar series.

The professionalism of our organisation has been lifted through both presentation content design and presenting skills thanks to the great support and assistance from Stuart Ayling."

Bruce Watson CEO AUSCOAL Super, Newcastle NSW (Industry superannuation fund)

"Thanks Stuart for your presentation at our 2009 convention. It was extremely well received and the time you spent researching our industry prior to presenting was evident and appreciated by our delegates."

Rennie Schafer Executive Officer Self Storage Association of Australasia (Industry association)

"As a results driven business we are always looking for new ways to continually develop and challenge our team to deliver greater results not only for our business but also our clients.

Stuart provided us with practical, easy to use systems and techniques that I have no doubt will deliver new and exciting results in the future.

Thank you Stuart for your energy and knowledge imparted to us!”

Andrew Oldham General Manager GPL Network, Gold Coast QLD (Business coaching services)

"After being asked to find someone to deliver a session on presentation skills, my search lead me to Stuart’s website. As the attendees were our professional coaches and high performance staff it was imperative that the day be run with a practical perspective, with the premise that at the end of the day we all had to be better at delivering powerful messages.

The fact that Stuart has worked with a prestigious university gave the credibility and scientific rigor that I could trust. Although it could be seen as out of the ordinary to choose someone with a marketing focus for addressing sporting coaches, we all believed that we had to better at selling our message to the players and officials alike.

We were all very impressed by Stuart’s preparation in coming and interviewing us to determine what we wanted from the program and indeed in how he was then able to tailor a program to suit our presenting format and requirements.

The day gave us an easy structure to follow and some presentation guidelines to ensure that at every opportunity we were delivering the messages as effectively as we could. 

The feedback from the participants was very positive and more importantly the structure and communication at meetings has since improved markedly, with the coaches now more comfortable in presenting because they have a simple formula that works." 

James Holbeck Personal & Career Development Adviser Queensland Reds, Brisbane QLD (Queensland Rugby Union)

"I knew we needed help with our presentations. After our first successful training session with Stuart Ayling in March 2007, I decided to engage Stuart's services again to conduct another full-staff training day in 2008 - this time to look at techniques to increase conversion rates from our public information sessions.

Once again Stuart produced a motivating full-day session with easy-to-use techniques that we practiced through role plays and peer sessions. This training was conducted within the first week of January, and, by the next week, sales of this product had doubled from 10% of all new sales to 20%.

As January comes to a close, we are looking at 22% of all new sales at this highest level product.

The extremely cost effective session with Stuart paid for itself within the first week of applying the new techniques and I have no hesitation to continue engaging Stuart's services to work with me from both a consulting perspective as well as a trainer for my staff."

Maria Morton General Manager Teach International, Brisbane QLD

"Danley Construction Products engaged Stuart Ayling to facilitate a series of planning sessions involving our Board Members and senior Executives. Throughout these sessions Stuart was very organised, personally engaging, and professional in his manner. He encouraged participation from everyone and kept us focused on the main issues, making sure we didn't waste time pursuing the many comments, ideas and side issues that came up. We were able to put those ideas aside for discussion at another time.

To prepare himself Stuart spent time with our General Manager and Marketing Officer, as well as reviewing documents and information from previous marketing plans. This made a big difference on the day as we could get straight into the agenda and Stuart really understood our situation.

His task here was particularly challenging as it was I who had totally designed our current marketing/corporate image, and I was not going to let go without a fight or vigorous debate.

The outcome was that we reached consensus for our new direction, and identified key actions to move forward. Everyone was very pleased with what we achieved, which was quite surprising given the scope of changes we were implementing. After this experience I'd certainly engage Stuart again - his contribution to our company was excellent.

Danny Underwood Managing Director Danley Construction Products, Brisbane (Winner of Telstra Business Award 2007)

"Stuart’s preparation in tailoring a program specific to our needs was outstanding. The goods delivered on the day really hit home, and I was so impressed I immediately signed the national sales team up for more of Stuart’s training. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart’s services to anyone who needs a positive influence on their sales team."

Brian Irvine General Manager Bernafon Australia, Brisbane QLD

"Stuart, you took the time to understand our business, which resulted in a training session that targeted our business requirements and benefited our employees. We do not have dedicated sales people and our managers have to fulfill this role.

They were easily able to understand the sales and marketing concepts you presented and found the course to be extremely practical and rewarding."

Denise Gallagher Managing Director CCI Australia, Hunter Valley NSW (Coal testing services)
