Feedback
As keynote for our annual sales conference, Cian drew from his own personal experiences as a sales leader and customised his content to our specific organisational needs. He energised the sales team and helped them understand the personal characteristics that create success.
Cian does something special on stage, he shares his own story and connects at a human level with his audience. His content is relevant, powerful and it delivers quick results for those that work with him, but it’s his delivery that really sets him apart.
A lot of speakers market themselves as world-class, but I can tell you with certainty that Cian can prove it with one measurable result - voted the No.1 speaker at one of the world’s most regarded sales industry conferences, the Centre of Sales Excellence Summit.
Cian was a very impressive moderator for our CIO round table dinner. He kept the discussion focused and constructive whilst deftly integrating new ideas being put forward by the participating CIOs. We also found him to be highly engaged with us pre and post event, which was very effective in ensuring a positive program for all. I can highly recommend his services.
Cian’s style not only boosts the fire in the belly, but his presentation helped our team develop clear plans and actions. He undoubtedly knows his stuff, but our team particularly appreciated his genuine and personal style. 100% positive feedback, 5 stars from the Promapp jury!
Cian asked for additional information to tailor his presentation and spent time understanding our business and our aims as a department. He had done his homework, made the effort to arrive early to setup and then to sit in on the session before his presentation to get a flavour for the room. He delivered a highly engaging presentation and went out of his way to ensure he delivered as much value as he could to the team over a 1.5 hour session. I’d highly recommend him to businesses looking for a down to earth speaker that can connect and motivate a salesforce.
We worked with Cian to deliver sales excellence workshops for us. He engaged with our sales leaders early to truly understand their challenges, built high quality content and delivered classes to great acclaim from the sales reps. His knowledge, empathy for his clients, and overall professionalism set him apart from the rest, and we're looking forward to continuing to unlock his magic across many more selling acumen areas
Cian participated in a panel of industry experts at the Salesforce World Tour in Sydney, March 2019. Cian was great to work with in the lead-up to the event and needed minimal briefing. I engaged Cian for this event to bring his expertise in the sales field and he certainly delivered that, securing a score of 4.7 out of 5 from the audience for the panel discussion. I look forward to working with Cian again in the near future.
2019 was a big year for Saxton, after this amount of growth and change in the business I needed to bring the leadership team together to reflect, ready ourselves and reimagine 2020. Saxton engaged with Cian McLoughlin to ensure we not only had a clear understanding of, but also achieved our objectives. Cian digs deep to find the outcomes required and ensures they are deliverable at all levels. He is a powerful and professional facilitator with a warm and engaging style tailored to his audience.
