when you choose a training provider...
Would you like someone to help you who has experience in the areas where you need help ? Or someone who just knows the theory?
Every bit of knowledge and skill that we teach comes from real-world experience and real results. Whatever ‘better’ looks like to your team, we help you unlock the solution.

sondevelopment know how to embed new behaviours and keep them alive, long after the excitement of project launch. Recommended!


Steve is so impactful with his planning, preparation and follow-through. This provides top-quality support to you as a client of his.
He also inspires you to actually want to be better, which in turn creates lasting behavioural changes.
If you are looking for support with Training and Development Steve is your person.


The process Steve undertook delivered a step change in the whole team’s clarity and enthusiasm to face the challenges ahead.
He also demonstrated tenacity and diplomacy in leading each individual to a better place.
I’d highly recommend Steve’s services to any organisation needing to boost team cohesion, engagement, and productivity.


Steve’s recommendation was to use a professional sales training company and Mystery Shopping Experience.
We increased phone sales call conversion from 12.5% to 33%, average monthly revenue per person from £55k to £120k and quote to order conversion from 50% to 65%. I would highly recommend Steve’s advice and experience.


Steve’s sales coaching is still one stand out event for me.
It should be attended at all levels, fun day, great guy and top knowledge.


We engaged Steve to help support us with developing our key team’s coaching, empowering their team, and ultimately increasing our income and skills!
At the heart of what he does, he has a strong desire for those he works with to be successful.
We would highly recommend Steve.


From the word go, he had the entire team excited and ready to learn more.
Since our sessions, I remember what Steve said at least once a day.
I can say we’re much better communicators now. Something invaluable to what we do.
