“ Hi Nick,
this is to formally say THANK YOU for your splendid help in making
this morning's event work so well, and for so brilliantly answering questions from the floor. You are every bit the great presenter everyone said you would be. I really, really appreciate your input. I know everyone went away on a high, and with a much better understanding of what is involved in selling.”

“ Thank you for speaking at the Service Network events which were organised
by Dialogue Event Solutions. We received excellent feedback from the
delegates and will have no hesitation in suggesting you to our customers for
future events.”

“ Just occasionally, someone comes along who says ‘Not only can you do it, but this is how’. Nick, you were great. Attending your business seminar was good for the soul. It delivered reinforcement to beliefs I held but had not verbalised or rationalised into a strategic plan. It taught me that I must think more deeply about whom I approach and that I don’t really know what I think I know.”

“Nick is an excellent presenter and can sell his topic (sales) and his own services well. I found the networking and discussion opportunities as useful. I would recommend every sales team to be listening to Nick's message”

“...they were somewhat outclassed by Nick Drake-Knight who I've heard speak before. Nick had a very clear process he advocated (the NDK Group website has pdf flyers), the time was just about enough to rattle through his Rapport - Understand - Demonstrate - Recommend - Close.”

Testimonials: NDK -Training |
“ Nick Drake-Knight has trained Jenton staff on three occasions. His appeal to us is based on his attentive, inclusive and enthusiastic presentation style which he mixes with an in depth knowledge of the subject. The all important issues of understanding the real needs of customers and building relationships - all too often neglected - are given the highest priority by Nick and this is the first time I have seen sales training presented in this way in an industrial sales environment, where it is just as important as any other sales environment. Our sales staff became animated by the new approaches discussed and this is the first time any of them have thanked me for sending them on a training course!!”

“ Just a quick email to express my appreciation for such a wonderful 2 day course. I feel positively enthused following the course and think that every ‘front-line’, client-facing member of BLDC staff should be actively encouraged to attend this or subsequent events. I felt that the presentation methods/skills, product knowledge and general personality and enthusiasm of Nick Drake-Knight had an awful lot to do with this and his informal (although not overly so) style made the absorption of the (often quite deep and complicated) information an absolute pleasure and very enjoyable experience.”

“ I really liked the way it was delivered – easy going, involved and informative. You got the message across loud and clear.”

“We have worked with Nick twice now in regard to customer satisfaction and the development of our internal contact centre. His unique knowledge of best practice amongst the top operators in the private sector and his understanding of our own business has allowed us to both benchmark our current position and develop a programme to close the gaps which make the highest impact on our performance.”

“Recommendations from NDK Group were presented in a formal report and we then began a three months implementation process. One year on with the new company structure we have effectively managed the growth resulting in a net profit increase of 75%. This is as a direct result of Nick’s recommendations, stimulation and introduction of change. I have recommended NDK Group to another organisation looking to introduce change and would recommend them to others. The impact of NDK Group’s consultancy has been absolutely excellent and I would not hesitate to use his consultancy services in the future.”

“I am writing to you to thank you for the excellent facilitation work you did with our education presenting team. As you know we had a challenging situation with a positive yet head strong group. Not only did you help us get to our desired outcome but also did it in a way that allowed everyone to feel that they were involved with the process. The results that the team achieved, as a direct response of the day, were outstanding. I have already recommended you to other companies. We look forward to working with you again soon.”
