The sales leadership forum was an interesting and thought provoking event, and as a direct result we did sit down and really analyse our strengths and weakness as a sales team. One area, where on reflection we could improve, has already been sharpened, executed and implemented with our partners.”
Now that the last session has been completed, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all very much for everything you have done to make this programme of training a success. All the feedback has been positive and the general feeling from all the groups was that the training was well designed,…
I met Andy when he was assisting Guardian Media clients such as IBM and Capita hone their Public Sector bidding skills. I am the bid manager with MidlandHR and Andy, working for Sixfold, undertook a number of assignments with my team and I to improve our Public Sector bid performance. Our bid win rate was…
Thank you again for holding your session here at Aviva last night. It was a huge success and I learnt lots about Public Sector bidding.
Really impressed with the day. Questionnaire before the event ensured I put some thought into the session in advance. Presenters clearly know their stuff and spoke knowledgeably with experience (which often doesn’t happen!). Practical examples that could be easily used were given. Action point sheet ensured something tangible to take away and do tomorrow.
Great course, highly relevant and practical advice.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day and felt I came away with lots of new ideas for my team and for future bids across the business – thank you!
Very practical and relevant. Has given me lots of ideas and tools to use as part of day job. Excellent!
This course reinforced that interaction and rapport with my staff is effective. This course helped me realise the skills that I have and has given me further confidence with the team. By being more aware of how I come across during interactions and how I use body language. I am moving into a new role…
We called upon Sixfold at very short notice for assistance with a strategically important bid. When our Bid Manager was unavailable, Andy stepped in and ran the bid for us. Towards the end of the bid Peter stepped in and took over. I have no doubt that without the Sixfold team we could not…
Great course on skills required to successfully commission, especially as I’ve been (until recently) on the other side of the fence. Andy was an engaging course leader which meant we didn’t get bored and activities were great especially the buzzers and winning chocolate.
The course was a good introduction to commissioning for someone with no prior knowledge. A good selection of hand-outs/crib sheets were provided to take away as a guide and learning was consolidated through the “Lessons Learnt” sheet.
The course material has been written in such a way that it can be re-applied to my job role. The timeliness of the course is respect of the Amey contract start date is especially pertinent.
Excellent. Was dreading it! But an enjoyable and informative few days.
For someone who has very limited knowledge of the subject, I have finished the course confident and feeling able to put it into practice. Thank you very much to the instructors, I really enjoyed it!
Excellent course with great content and knowledgeable tutors
This was an enjoyable, engaging and well -presented course – the content is entirely appropriate for issues that we encounter in our work on a daily basis. It was informative and I am sure will be of value to me in the future.
Definitely needs to be a two or three day course ! Excellent activities – took me out of my comfort zone but felt safe environment to do so. Provided more insight into how I work and how I can change this to be more assertive/productive.
It was a very good course applicable to most aspects of my work.
I really enjoyed the course content and trainers’ enthusiasm. It was good to be away from the office and focus on course content – the group work was positive and relevant. Thank you.
Excellent group exercises and able to drill home points to re-call.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day – it is always good to have time out to reflect on how I practice as an individual.
I would have liked the course over 2 days as found this very informative.
Thank you very much for this and your leadership the other day. These notes are absolute gold in terms of future strategy
Very good. Useful to take time out and reflect on this important aspect of bidding.
Peter showed he was a top class facilitator, he managed the size and complexity of the task brilliantly
Excellent – much food for thought and lots of work to do over the next few months and beyond! Action planning very realistic
Useful discussions – well explained ideas.
Many thanks for an enlightening seminar
Extremely good – very satisfied with the topic and the pace of the workshop – very hard to put all the material into 3 hour slot but done very effectively.
I thought this was an excellent event which I attended yesterday – practical and lots of hands on things to take away – it certainly met my agenda for Top Tips wanted.
Very good! Could have gone on all day. Would like details of other course of this nature.
I enjoyed a super day led by you last Thursday . . . I have the ultimate solution for successful bid teams- delegate to you and your company!
We have worked with various other suppliers, but Sixfold is the only provider we are currently working with, have done so for a fair while & intend to continue working with – this is because they are flexible, reasonable and deliver an excellent quality of work. To explain: Flexible & reasonable – we (jointly) had…
Very valuable!
Not only was it of enormous value to me, it was delivered in a very relaxed manner that made it easy to absorb. I have taken away a number of very important actions to implement that will make a real difference to our business. Truly stimulating and an excellent use of two days .
This was an excellent course. It was tailored appropriately to the position of the organisation as it stands. This is one training event that I would recommend! Many thanks to the tutor and his support team for delivering the event
Very useful and inspiring indeed!
Many thanks for a most informative and useful session
Very good, very useful. One of the biggest success factors was that Peter really understood his topic – more rare than it should be for a trainer – Thank you.
Sixfold brought added value, not just identifying threats but also highlighting opportunities, Sixfold helped significantly to achieve the mindset change that we wanted, from victim to entrepreneur, altering mindsets as well as transferring skills producing lasting impact.
