“I’ve attended many sales training courses before. This programme equipped me with the skills, methodology and capability to grow my accounts and know where we add value. I’ve taken advantage many times of the learnings and still refer to my notes to support me in planning and preparing for client conversations. I feel I have more credibility by being on the client agenda and being able to address their challenges with confidence – everytime.”

“We engaged Open Arena to guide the board through our 10 year strategic review, Steve had taken the time to get to know our company and service areas and was able to challenge our thinking as he guided us through the process. We now have updated short, medium and long term goals for the company and the action plans required to achieve them. I look forward to working with Steve again in the future”
Scottish Football Association
“Open Arena worked closely with the Scottish FA to develop a Performance Management Framework centred around its core values. Their approach was adaptable, flexing their style to suit the specific needs of the Association. They designed and delivered a suite of courses for Managers to develop their competency in coaching skills and managing performance. The training was extremely successful and throughout we have received very positive feedback.”
