Recent Testimonials and Case Studies
"Marc's tailored and individual approach to our sales team has produced great results.
From improving the effectiveness of our negotiators to developing our managers, he has been a great asset to our company. I highly recommend him."
"The programme put together by Lockley Associates for the sales team was spot on.
It was clear that the preparation put in by Marc in advance of the programme, finding out about the individuals, their roles, their industry and what they hoped to get out of the course made it hugely beneficial and a great learning experience."
"Marc is a personable and professional mentor.
He is able to give confidence and support to others through a sensitive questioning approach and is able to listen well to the needs of the individuals.
His ability to empower others has enabled my organisation to move on after a difficult period of change.
Staff feel able to trust him, and he repays this with sound advice, development of key skills and gives them confidence to develop and change.
I would not hesitate to use him again to give the staff individually, or the organisation as a whole, the skills and confidence needed to be successful."
"The gentle ruthlessness with which Marc encouraged me to identify what the real key issues were, AND then what needed to be done AND then pinning me down to JUST DO IT!
It was very inspiring working with him."
"The advice and coaching I received from Marc since setting up my own consultancy have proved invaluable.
I have been able to bounce new ideas off him in an open and non-judgemental environment, and I now have the confidence and ability to turn potential clients into paying customers."
"Marc gave me a clear picture and thought pattern on how I will change my current persona at work to achieve greater goals for our business."
"Coaching with Marc was a very positive experience that left me making small but significant changes to the way I do things, and made progress in areas of my life that I have previously been struggling with."
Negotiation
"Marc's advice was right on the money. He kept up with the bidding process every step of the way and read the situation perfectly.
He knew just when we should hold firm and when we should raise our offer using his knowledge of the market and psychological insight - he seemed to be able to read the minds of the estate agent and vendor.
The sensible and calm information made what could have been a fraught process relatively stress free.
And most importantly the sellers reduced the price of the flat by 10,000 pounds.
I would recommend using his advice while buying a house every time - it will save you money and keep your blood pressure down!"
"Marc is an excellent coach. He asks questions that make you see both sides of the argument. Most importantly, he lets you work out the best solution. I definitely feel that my negotiation skills have improved since being coached by Marc."
"Marc spent 15 to 20 minutes talking me through the best way to negotiate down the price of a car.
The result was I managed to negotiate it down by £850 (8.5%). It was really useful advice, but simply put, and it all made a lot of sense!
More importantly, he gave me the confidence to embark on the negotiation, a process I normally would cringe at the prospect of."
"The most thorough and informative workshop I have ever participated in.
The skills and abilities that I have acquired will be invaluable throughout my career.
Many thanks!"
"In just two days I now feel more confident than ever!"
