A true professional. Engaging and dynamic. His use of stories and humour made a real impact on the team. The tools and processes he introduced and implemented played a major role in our turn around from 20% down, to now being 40% ahead of budget YTD.
- National Sales Director Sensis SME Online
In my 15 years as a HR professional, I have never seen a speaker capture an audience’s attention like Ian did with his speedball routine. Inspiring, fresh, and still talked about, Ian delivered on the promise of practical tools which could be immediately implemented after the conference.
- Cleanaway
Very well organised from the first meeting to the event.

Ian was extremely hands-on in organising a role play session at our conference. I was extremely impressed how he took ownership in putting together thyer role play, he participated in a tele-conference, came into the office for a face-to-face meeting, met with the members involved in developing the role play scripts, wrote the scripts and managed the members involved. Totally professional.
- CPA Australia (NSW Division)
He was rated as one of our most popular speakers. A pleasure to work with.

The choice of Ian Stephens was an excellent one and he hit the right chord with our team. Ian was so easy to work with and was ever so flexible on the day like a true professional. It was very informative, fun and educational and I would not hesitate in recommending Ian and Saxtons to anyone. Thank you for making or conference an overwhelming success!
- Excom Education Pty Ltd
Ian did a great job for us at our 2009 Annual Sales Conference. Ian MCed the event for us and did a great job of keeping things moving. His keynote speech was very well received and gave us some practical 'take-aways' and his overall training throughout the event was upbeat, extremely professional and delivered with lots of energy.
- Finite IT Recruitment Services
Absolutely brilliant! He engaged the delegates, got them involved and has a great sense of humour. Most importantly he delivered a message in keeping with our conference theme and people are still quoting him. Highly entertaining and a pleasure to work with.

Very engaging.
- iNova Pharmaceuticals
Ian grasped our brief really well and delivered a fantastic presentation. Not only was he very engaging the message delivered was succinct and concise and well received by all members of the team.
- 3M Australia
I was very impressed with Ian's message; he provided some great insight into the need to stay focused. I was more impressed, however, with the method he employs to have his message stick. I have had the privilege of experiencing many speakers and trainers over the years and can honestly say Ian was among the best. His lessons are long lasting unlike some where you struggle to remember a week later. I have been training sales people for 30 years now and have been speaking to groups as part of my community service commitments - we were all treated to something special with Ian Stephens and I look forward to future opportunities to have him involved with the training of our people.

- Isuzu Australia Limited
