I have known Jonathan for several years and have had a number of informal sessions with him regarding the direction of my business.
He is a very knowledgeable consultant and a genuinely lovely person who has a passion for helping people. Jonathan has imparted some really valuable advice in clear and simple terms and is particularly good at offering a new way of looking at their business and sales activities.
He feels like a very safe and reassuring pair of hands, especially during these times of uncertainty, when we're all worried about generating sales
Jonathan has worked with us at MWA these past 12 months and he has helped me to get a greater understanding of success in Sales Management - a role I have been promoted into recently.
I am grateful for his training, guidance and advice and look forward to working with him in the future.
I recently started working use Jonathan Ratcliff’s support as Business Mentor & Sales Coach to further develop and advance my business at a critical stage to maximise my growth potential. Jonathan’s gentle-natured, structured and outcome-focused coaching sessions have been enlightening:
Within minutes Jonathan had identified key areas for my business and sales objectives and where I should focus my activities on. He is an extraordinary listener and his ideas and suggestions were of laser sharp relevance to my business.
His sales expertise is second to none; combined with his excellent people development skills he was able to provide me confidence and clarity on my personal and professional ambitions.
Working with Jonathan had already had a positive impact on my business. I feel energised and grateful to be working with him. He comes highly recommended and I will certainly draw upon his wisdom again.
Jonathan has been a great help to me recently.
He has been out on several field visits, given constructive criticism but more importantly given me useful tips, tatics and tools and how to implement them to add value to my customers and developing business opportunities with them.
Since working with JMR I have also recommended Jonathan to a friend's business with a £25million turnover. Jonathan is now working with the Sales force there now!
I had a mentoring session with Jonathan that set the scene for a major, much-needed change for me in my working and business activities. He was honest, upfront, and said those things that I didn't want to hear.
He then checked in on me a month later, keeping me to account. I now have more time, the right focus and love what I do even more with results that reflect all of that. Thank you Jonathan.
Jonathan has worked with my team for the past 20 months. The difference in approach that really worked for our division was Jonathan took the time to really understand the company, the product, the sector and the people really listening and taking it all in.
Jonathan came up with various solutions to meet our needs, budget, availability and experience and worked with me to decide on the appropriate approach to use. Jonathan's sales interventions are always very fluid, depending on the session and direction and responses on the day he ensures his agenda can flex and change.
The follow up approach for key individuals in the team really worked to help implement the tools and techniques discussed as part of the training. Jonathan is a real pleasure to work with and has really helped to develop the sales skills of all different colleagues, from direct sales staff to people in a supportive role too.
Results and improvements were clear to see! Thank you for all your guidance and support, and I look forward to working with you as we shape our next new ventures.
After 31 years I found myself in a redundancy situation for the first time in my life, with a new and daunting experience ahead to find my next career challenge.
After several conversations with Jonathan he very quickly helped me to turn this in positive situation and think differently.
His excellent advice, guidance and support have helped me hugely on this journey, and I can’t thank him enough! Jonathan’s knowledge and experience in this field is second to none, and I would unreservedly recommend him to anyone.
I was lucky enough to receive some of Jonathan's training and I found him very professional, very informative and with the ability to adapt the training to the needs of the various people in the room at the same time.
The biggest compliment I can give to Jonathan is that he showed me sales as a profession was not something to be ashamed of I would absolutely recommend JMR to companies looking to give their sales function a boost.
What immediately comes to mind when I think about Jonathan is how I feel more positive and motivated after spending time with him.
I have had the pleasure of being mentored by Jonathan and I can say that he is fine example of what a professional business leader should be. Although when necessary Jonathan will tell you “how it is” he always does so in a sensitive and constructive manner.
I am pleased to know Jonathan has a mentor and friend and would highly recommend him to any business leader who is keen to improve their business and leadership skills.
Jonathan gave clarity and focus to our National Account team. He was extremely well organised and well prepared, strong selling skills and Our new business pipeline is now the fullest it has been for over 4 years, thanks for your help and guidance.
Jonathan spent over an hour with me. His personable, engaging and gentle nature allowed him to explore and get a grasp of my muddled head astoundingly quickly.
His insights are needle sharp and suggestions well thought out with appropriateness to my business. He is an extraordinary listener with kindness running through his soul.
This allows him to quickly bring considerations to the table. I feel energised, grateful to have had time with him and be able to draw on his wisdom in the future.
I have known Jonathan through mutual friends and each time we have conversations I am aware of his insightful razor-sharp focus on sales strategy in particular.
We are both fellow members of the ISM so I recognize someone who knows their stuff! I have no hesitation in recommending him to any organisation.
I have been working with Jonathan for the past 3 months and my coaching sessions with him have been enlightening.
Even though I am an experienced consultant/coach, Jonathan has helped to bring clarity on my personal and professional ambitions and to guide me on how to further grow and develop my business.
Jonathan's sales knowledge and expertise, together with his exceptional people development skills are a dynamic combination. Thank you Jonathan, for the impact you are continuing to make.
Jonathan is an expert within his field and has insightful, balanced and well considered advice to give.
His expertise in sales and revenue generation is extremely valuable and his relaxed and friendly approach is priceless. Always there to share a new idea or offer fresh insights to any problems, Jonathan is a fantastic professional contact as well as a trustworthy friend.
I look forward to the day I can repay some of the help and support he has generously given to me over the last year or so.
