"As a vice president of a newly organized team, comprised of varied levels of experience, I turned to this team to evaluate my team and get them up to speed in order to drive value in ALL negotiations (ASAP!). We implemented a strategy focused on building strong relationships, learning comprised of innovative and tried and true tools and processes integrated into our own corporate initiatives. Our investment was paid back before the two-day course was completed. I highly recommend this program.  
Brad Stirling, Director, Purchasing and NPD, Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd

"I have attended numerous negotiation training seminars during my career and expected that this one would have much of the same death by PowerPoint, some role playing and then further PowerPoint pain. Well, Simon set me straight! The seminar had a great flow Simon took us through the course material in such a fashion that you almost don't realize it. He combines storytelling, pure lecturing and real life examples quite well while encouraging participants to relate their examples and scenarios. Key takeaways from the training use your toolkit, remember that we are all human beings and spend as much time as possible in the top right-hand quadrant! Take the seminar and you will understand exactly what I am referring to."
Bob Prostran North American Purchasing Manager Construction Products

"I saved more money for my former organization in one phone call following the training with Simon than we have spent with them in the 10 years we have been working together"
Gareth Barfield, Procurement Lead, Devon Energy

"The program was excellent. The ability of Simon and team to present material and then require students to apply it to actual work scenarios brought a sense of actualization and we were successful in actually implementing strategies developed with Simon and team. The thing I liked the most was that Simon and his team had real-world experience in applying the knowledge and principles that they taught. You could tell that they were not simply consultants, but actual practitioners of what they were saying."
Brent Hughes, Supply Chain Analyst (Supplier Performance Management Team Leader), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 

I have spent the better part of four decades working in the field of Supply Chain Management. These folks changed the way I looked at how supply chain could add greater value to the businesses we worked for. They have excellent tools and what I would consider the best negotiation training I have ever seen.
Dave Balsom, Past Director, Category Management (Retired), Suncor Energy

"I have worked with this team on several occasions over the past 3 years. 

I initially attended competency development courses focused on strategic negotiations. After having participated in negotiation training at several multinational organizations as part of my professional development in both sales and supply management functions I can attest that the program delivered is far superior to others and lead to immediate value to the organization. 

They delivered training and coaching which was current, relevant and customized to our industry. The experience of the team combined with proven delivery methods also resulted in competency transfer to our internal SCM team which has since allowed for sustained results. 

Subsequent engagements with Accelor staff on specialized projects has also resulted in significant positive ROI and I have no doubt I will engage them for similar assignments in the future."

"Bill, I want to thank you for your very knowledgeable and professional approach in training our personnel.  Specially on the key components of contractor rates and how we can more effectively dissect equipment and labour fixed and variable rates to ensure we continue to minimize costs, maximize service quality and cost reduction opportunities.

Your leadership and instruction (class workshop environment and coaching one on one) related to cost models and your structured approach to data gathering and analysis made it much easier to open up existing rate sheets and highlight opportunities.  We were quite surprised at the opportunities never before discovered.  With your coaching,  we completed strategies and negotiations more efficiently and effectively with unprecedented results!

I hope to have you back in the near future to train other specialist and supervisors."
