Testimonials
Honeycomb Construction
“I am a small business owner. I have been in business since 2017 with no sales training. I went on the Align Selling Sales Training Course in June 2023 and couldn’t recommend it enough. Within the duration of the course, I have gone from closing 11 deals per month to 19! They have a simple and effective sales process that works for beginners to veterans.
By changing the way I think about sales, I’ve also tailored my approach to each customer because of this course. Even my wife commented on how my sales calls have dramatically changed! Kicking myself for not going sooner with the thought of those lost customers. Very impressed and highly recommend to small/ medium business owners!”

Managing Director, Honeycomb Construction
Coaching
“A highlight of the leadership programme was Align Coaching that gave me a greater belief in my own leadership style. It has also helped me think about how I can adapt that to my team members.
We did one-on-one coaching with team members alongside strategic planning [as part of the programme], which helped us make work and personal goals for people. It was full-on, but I ended up with a new belief in my team. Everything works so much better once you have engagement.
The coaching aspect was fantastic – that was a highlight for me. You learn about coaching your team, but a big part of that is about learning about personality styles and looking deep into yourself to understand your own leadership style. I learned I was good at what I did and it gave me skills to become better.”
Carolyn Ferrall
CEO, Total Cover, Outdoor Cover – Shade & Awnings
Coaching Training
“I have never, ever had a staff member participate in work-based training and so positively rave about it!!! We now have all of our Facilitators very keen to receive similar training. A particular challenge for Facilitators is managing staff who are generally part-time, mostly working independently and very little face to face connection with their manager let alone colleagues or anyone else in the company. The skills developed through your training positions managers very well to be effective in this situation.”
Karen Wilton
Systems Transformation Manager, NZ Health Group Healthcare

“We are in the final stages of rolling out our new CRM, and I am really proud of the end product which has our sales framework prompts throughout. In addition, we plan on launching the PolyNovo Playbook and running a pre-call planning workshop at our Half Year Meeting next week. Thanks to you, all of that is now possible!”
Valerie Young
Sales Director PolyNovo Healthcare
Sales Training
“For anyone in sales, who wants to increase business while building enduring relationships with their clients, I recommend investing in yourself by attending the next Align Selling sales course.
They delivered a sales process blueprint that was simple to follow and provided me with a 263% ROI within a matter of weeks. It was as easy as breathing.
The course is run in small groups of like-minded people, in a safe and collaborative environment. I sat with initial sceptics, who finished the course, proud to be sales professionals.”
John Milner
Managing Director, Collaborative Consulting, Finance.
Customised Training
“Megan from Align Training was engaging and very interested in delivering the right training to suit our company’s specific needs. Highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
Rachel Beechey
Director, Rose’s Alteration.
Sales Training
“Fantastic programme. Megan and Luke from Align Training genuinely care and make the tools easy to apply in real conversations. I’ve already seen a big lift in how I build trust and create value. I highly recommend it.”
Ben
Senior Lending Manager at a Financial Services Company
Coaching Training
“We see the Coaching course as an essential tool for helping develop and grow employees and managers in the company. This is not only about growth as an employee but also to help them grow as an individual, as it teaches so many skills about how to believe in oneself as well as in others.
Personally, it changed my mindset to see more potential in people. Everyone has ended up exceeding my expectations and many have moved up the ladder to take on more responsibility and become supervisors themselves.
The skills also carry on outside of work and helped me achieve goals by having tools to navigate the busyness of life and find solutions that actually work to achieve my goals.
I would strongly recommend this course to employers and employees as well as even individuals looking to grow themselves. Thank you to all the leaders and facilitators at the Coaching Course, it is greatly appreciated.”

Thanks Megan and Luke – will be back for other course in the future for sure.”
