“I recently attended a sales training program offered by The Great Scott Company, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The trainer, Jacqui Scott, were highly knowledgeable and provided practical strategies that I could immediately apply to my sales approach. The training was interactive, engaging, and tailored to our industry, which made it extremely relevant. I particularly appreciated the focus on building long-term customer relationships rather than just closing deals. I can already see a positive impact on my sales performance, and I highly recommend The Great Scott Company to anyone looking to elevate their sales skills.”

– Reuben Hill – National Key Account Manager, Farmland Foods

“Jacqui provided a one day training for our staff. The training incorporated the customer service modules but also included various areas that we required. Right from the start nothing was too much trouble. The staff are still talking incredibly favourably about the training and the benefits they received from it. Jacqui is still following up with our staff members which is very impressive. A big thank you to Jacqui and the team. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other clients.”

– Mike Kelleher – Capital Training Limited

“Using your techniques and passing on valuable information gained during our workshop, we have seen a great improvement within our teams. Not only are the team refreshed and empowered, they are feeling and showing much more confidence in their sales. Our last HOED reports have come back to us since our time with you at 100% and 96%!! Thank you for passing on your knowledge and tips to support my team.”

– Kirsten – Multi Retail Store Manager

“Success against targets on the days following the sales training increased by 100% i.e. they doubled their sales results. The results remained reasonably consistent over the following month with a 70-80% increase in total sales on average for the team. There was an obvious improvement in not only the sales pitch but also the team’s ability to build rapport with customers.”

– Catherine Adams – Head of Customer Operations, Slingshot

Thanks very much for everything Jacqui – your’re a sanity saver!”

– Holly Purdy

“Found this course extremely helpful. But what set this apart from the rest, I feel, is the one on one coaching sessions. Jacqui found a system to suit me specifically, tailored to my own style and way of doing things, so easier to adhere to. But old habits die hard and the coaching just helps bring the focus back and serves as reminder until a new ‘habit’ is formed. Thank you Jacqui.”

You seem to have gone beyond just providing the tools, to really getting them excited about this new skill.”

– Catherine Adams – Contact Centre Manager, Slingshot

“Just completed the Christchurch April 2020 course it’s by far the best experience I have had in my life, coming on this course I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Both Jacqui and Ruth are the most awesome people to run such a awesome Company. I 100% recommend this course it has helped me a lot and I know they are there with me now on my journey to get a job I enjoy.

– Tomas Nelson

“When Jacqui Scott became involved in our staff training at Wilson Storage I had been involved in the business of storage for about 10 years and believed myself to be a good salesperson, perhaps requiring some improvement in leadership skills.

I was resistant to change and certainly did not welcome changes to my work habits. Thankfully Jacqui’s warmth, enthusiasm and positivity won me over and I feel absolutely blessed to have been involved in sales and leadership training with her and her team.

The positive changes I have seen in my team of staff and the changes I feel within myself are enormous. Our productivity has increased, we feel a passion for our product and service and a commitment to the company we all serve. Our workplace has a renewed sense of purpose.

Thank you Jacqui for opening my eyes to the potential within myself and the team I lead.”

– Denise Hayball – Wilson Storage AU

“Jacqui of ‘the Great Scott Company’ is an experienced and skilled communication improvement facilitator whom we have used to groom our interface with the public.

We operate Northcare, a GP/Urgent Care medical clinic on the North Shore in Auckland and we are aware that in a competitive environment first impressions are very important for a good ‘patient journey’ and a good reputation.

Jacqui is down to earth, no-frills, a ‘look you in the face’ good communicator and that is what she teaches. Although everything costs money, it costs money to make money and we feel Jacqui’s expertise is a good investment.

The day after she talked to our receptionists about managing multiple calls, smiling, being positive, and managing people respectfully but efficiently, I could see a difference. It was also good to see the staff enjoying their work more because they now had the tools to deal with difficult people and situations and to see them complimenting each other about the way they had handled situations.”

– Peter Boot – Medical Director, Northcare

“I would like to advocate the Great Scott Company Training, I have been in customer services for over 10 years in various contact centers and at best the company I work for currently is aware of the constant strive for Customer Excellence.

With our restricted resources and during this economic climate, internal trainers tend to be a dual-role position with other primary priorities and this could conflict with people they are training and working with on a permanent, full-time basis.

Having GSC training our staff is more beneficial and suited to every learning type be it, visual, audio or kinesthetic, we also benefit from an external company that brings experience from working with many different industries, they learn what our expectations are and show us how to identify opportunities and adapt to personalities that create win-win situations.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with the entire company for the past 2 years with positive continuing results.”

– Ani Ruawhare – Team Leader, Customer Service Orica

“I have been fortunate enough to receive Personal Efficiency Training and Leadership Coaching through Jacqui from The Great Scott Company.

I have been able to utilise the training I received to enhance not only my professional world but personal life also. I now make more efficient use of my time and this frees me up to do the things I enjoy. Being more efficient with what I do means I can plan better and make myself available for my team to support and lead my team.

The personable approach Jacqui takes means it felt like my training was catered directly to my own personal learning style and I was constantly learning more about myself and the influence I can have on others.

I am very grateful for all I have learnt from Jacqui.”

– Mike Clayton – Works Manager, Brian Perry Civil

“I was introduced to Jacqui through my sister. It was just before Christmas 2021 and I had decided to start my own business. I called Jacqui and after chatting about my business plan she immediately made me feel that my idea was very possible. Jacqui has a great positive, cheerful and encouraging attitude which made me feel inspired and motivated to start planning for my business.

We scheduled 3 coaching sessions in the New Year and after each session I was given tasks to complete in order to move towards my goal of starting my business. Jacqui helped me choose a name for my business which she put out in an online poll. I love the name as do many of my friends. My business is in the service industry and Jacqui has a wealth of knowledge regarding language use with clients. I highly recommend Jacqui to anyone thinking of starting a business or who work in the service industry and need to know who their clients are and how to respond to them.”

– Maria Bernard

“Let’s face it 2020 has been a year for any business to reckon with. Be it a thriving, struggling, or brand-new start-up company, I believe all business entities are shaken up to some degree, and for many, it would be to epic proportions.

I had been in business for some time already prior to having Jacqui completely revive my sales process. I trained with her in 2019 and since the days spent with her everything about the success of my business turned north. The level of positivity was magnifying and the process she provided me with, being tried and tested, was beautifully simple and effective.

I can honestly say that my industry (professional photography) being one of the hardest knocked due to COVID has been dire for so many. Yet, thanks to Jacqui, I learned to work with my clients in a way that has sustained me and my business has only grown from strength to strength, and now thriving beautifully.

I could not be more grateful for the skills and knowledge she has passed on to me. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough, particularly in these times.

Now is the time to have the building blocks in place and secure a full proof system to protect any business and Jacqui, together with the Great Scott Company team can be trusted to take care of that, wholeheartedly. Now that the enquiries lead to bookings more fluidly, I can focus on my craft and enjoy the art of what I do more as that is where my passion lies.”
