I was interested in Gordon’s skills from reading his blog on how to grow your business and how to improve sales and culture. After meeting up with him I was impressed by his creativity and his eye for detail and since then we have contracted him to create and develop a Growth Strategy for McKay Flooring. We are very happy with the results so far – we now have a clear roadmap of where we are going but even more importantly Gordon has helped us identify how we’ll get there. Due to his personable approach he has ensured our team are all on board and we look forward to working with him during this exciting growth period. December 9, 2009

Gordon’s unique approach to networking, the Intelligised Networking System, is refreshing, entertaining and highly educational and has definitely had a positive impact on our business changing the way people manage and think about business relationships. It gives you a whole new perspective on approaching networking, which most people find still find awkward. The style was relaxed and whilst the message was a serious one, the way in which it was delivered meant that it was unlikely to be forgotten by anyone present. I would recommend Intelligise?s training to anyone who wants to improve their approach to sales, marketing and social media as it really is an essential business development tool. October 6, 2009

Gordon is a black belt in business to business networking, with in-depth skills of connecting salespeople and business people alike. After attending some of Gordon’s master classes on the art of “Networking” you really get a solid understanding of Gordon’s drive & motivation. Personally I would challenge any sales Director to spend some time with Gordon as a consultation to bring motivation levels to their teams to get out a network to WIN. In these challenging times, networking is critical for personal and business success. Gordon?s seminars helped me network more effectively by better understanding setting goals and by using effective ideas Gordon. Gordon’s presentation style is very motivational using inspirational techniques and group competitions whatever strategy businesses choose it is not something that they can do once and then forget. What can you do today to improve yours and your teams motivation levels – Give Gordon a call June 11, 2009

Top qualities: Great Results, On Time, High Integrity – Lesley Hetherington – Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship – hired Gordon as a Business Trainer
Right from the start we were impressed with the package that Gordon proposed. The commission structure was entirely appropriate and reflected the belief from Gordon that they would find us a suitable sales candidate who would have a long time career with our company and not just someone who would last for three months and then move on.
In addition the recruitment process took into account our existing sales force and organisational needs and the candidates put forward for interview were of a very high calibre. You genuinely helped us find the right person for our company and we have already recommended this service to other companies who are looking to recruit truly professional sales people.
Charles Scott, Technical Director, Quorum Network Resources Ltd
“From conception to completion of my graduate sales intake programme, Gordon not only achieved the objectives we agreed but vastly exceeded them and the results were above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Because of his integrity, honesty and ability, I have no hesitation recommending Gordon.
John McGlinchey – Sales Director – New Horizons Training
You have a totally different approach to any other recruiter we have dealt with. The candidate quality is always very strong and we are very excited about the results from the four Sales Executives you have found for us.
You have probably now changed the way we recruit completely, I may only ever recruit your graduates for my sales and marketing positions from now on!”
Kaveh Aghsaei, Operations Director 360 Innovate
The recruitment programme is very professional and purposeful and the assessment centre was well structured, well composed and professionally delivered. You have created a platform for ongoing partnership and I would feel very comfortable in using your graduate program again and have recommended you to others.
