The Sunshine Company

Choosing a training partner to develop your staff is hard but this was made easy with Marcus Bohn from the very beginning. Listening carefully to our brief and training needs, learning about our business and meeting our people enabled the MBA team to develop and deliver a bespoke Customer Service programme for 30 managers in 2 one-day workshops including developing the skills to share key messages with their staff. The trainer, Maria was excellent throughout. Highly knowledgeable, engaging, motivational and fun with the whole team from new managers to directors leaving with fresh eyes, ideas, skills and a customer promise to put in to practise straight away. We will certainly be looking at future training needs and running this programme again on a yearly basis with MBA. From start to finish, the service and support were first class and highly professional.

The bespoke 5-part Alpha Fashion Communication programme has been really successful. I really enjoyed being a part of the session. Maria was great at engaging the delegates from China & getting good response & participation from the team and it was tailored to our business and customers. I will certainly be recommending more of the UK team to join the next programme. The course is useful and a great learning experience along with giving a great opportunity to work on ideas and skills with our Chinese teams away from a normal working day.

New Balance

Marcus Bohn have delivered a great programme for our Account Manager team, upskilling them and enhancing their knowledge and skill set. Carey and team were great in creating an experience bespoke to New Balance needs, ensuring it met the learner goals and goals of the business. MBA were easy to work with and offered great advice and insight. It’s great to work with a provider who really wants to create development with real impact.

Red Helix

Our recent Customer Service workshop was a huge benefit to the Red Helix team and really boosted both confidence and self-belief in the individuals, especially with our new starter for whom it was their first job. The trainer, Maria, made everyone feel comfortable enabling them to fully engage, reduce any nerves and contribute to ensure they took away new skills ready to apply in their daily roles. We are now looking at other areas of the business that can be similarly supported with soft skill training and development with the Marcus Bohn Team and look forward to working with them again.

I am in the process of implementing strategy and ideas we came up with and hope to have future sessions with him.”

Positec (UK & Ireland) Ltd

“We have been delighted with the virtual Account Management and face to face Management and Leadership workshops run for Positec Group by Marcus Bohn Associates during 2021. Following detailed briefing with our Account Manager, the training has been designed to meet our exact needs and the workshops themselves been praised by all who have attended. Feedback on the trainer Jon was that he was engaging, highly knowledgeable and experienced. The quality of the training and follow up has been first class and we would have no hesitation in using Marcus Bohn again or recommending them to others.”

Elementar UK Ltd

“Having participated in the assertive communication workshop organised via GAMBICA, I had contacted MBA to enquire about their training courses in sales. Carey was incredibly helpful and designed a bespoke training course for myself and a colleague to address areas we felt needed improvement and/or refreshing. The course itself was delivered in person by Maria, who was a fantastic trainer and with whom we had a very enjoyable day. The material was exceptional and tailored specifically to our needs, thanks to Carey and Maria researching our company thoroughly prior to the course date. The courses have already made a difference to my work and I am very happy with both courses, the personal touch from MBA is excellent and I will happily recommend them.”

“For a number of years Europa had examined how to optimise the skills of its next tier of management, not wishing to embark on a tired ‘corporate management training’ program that takes people too far away from the realities of how they need to develop within the environment they work within. The team from Marcus Bohn ‘got this’ and took time to understand our business and how we operate today in order to tailor a 2 day program suited to the needs and wishes of the business. Feedback from all attendees after the first session has been exceptional.”

“The training was excellent, and feedback from the team was very positive. We had a customised course blending ‘the customer service team as company ambassadors’ and ‘assertiveness training’ with a touch of ‘working as a team’. The morning for most was a refresher but the afternoon assertiveness training in particular was really helpful and really well received. Individual assertiveness scores from the assertiveness questionnaire revealed that all bar one of the team scored lower than they expected on assertiveness. They now have some techniques to work with to build this and really grasped the need to build the whole team’s assertiveness and a stronger outward impression within the company.”

Sika UK

“Marcus Bohn Associates have worked as a training partner to Sika UK since 1999. Until 2010 this was through ad-hoc open and in-house sales workshops. In 2010 we looked for a training partner to develop a long-term partnership with who would understand our business and work with us to develop our sales organisation in a structured and tailored approach linking and dovetailing in to existing training provided by the Sika Business School. Through research into understanding the structure and skills of each role within the sales organisation and carrying out a field based assessment MBA designed a tailored development programme that aligned with our values, training needs and career path. The training has been embraced by the organisation and now also includes Finance, Assertiveness and Time Management workshops. In the coming year we are looking to widen the scope to include Management, Marketing and broaden this to include training other functions of the business. Feedback from the training has been incredibly positive and motivational, the trainers highly professional and the account management and support first class. MBA are now also working with our Group business in developing training programmes to be run locally worldwide. We would have no hesitation in recommending Marcus Bohn to other organisations who desire a real partner to work with in developing their people.”

“We had a de-brief on the course on Friday and Ben said that the trainer and the Course were excellent. It also set our minds thinking that we may want to consider another day course for a few of our Client facing support staff to make them more Sales aware, something Marcus Bohn did for me in the past. Please extend my thanks to the trainer for an excellent job.”

LINPAC Packaging

LINPAC Packaging Ltd

“Having grown the LINPAC organisation for the last 15 years in all areas of Sales and Sales management, I have observed the one consistent element to supporting LINPAC’s growth and profitability has been the quality of the training. MBA have been close at hand with LINPAC over this time, and have worked tirelessly to ensure they evolve the way they train us with the way our industry and business evolves. This is a rare thing to find in a training world which can look very vanilla at times. If you are looking for a business who can deliver you a standard set of training programmes in a way to help you tick boxes, then MBA are not the company to choose. If you want a company who gets into the skin of your industry, your business and your key commercial challenges and tailors courses, coaching, and mentoring to suit your objectives and more, then yes, choose MBA.”

“The Emerson Process Management team having been working with Marcus Bohn Associates for the past 2 years, through their in depth knowledge of training, ability to deliver best in class training workshops and our experience of process industry customers, we have been able to develop a World Class training program for our Service and sales teams in Europe. The program was so successful at every level within the Emerson organisation that we felt compelled to include the Middle East & African World Area office. The professionalism and attention to detail both from the MBA Account Sales Director and the Course tutor from the initial sales introduction through to the first workshop was without doubt the best I have ever experienced. I have no hesitation in recommending the MBA team to your organisation and I look forward to the business partnership continuing as we explore more opportunities to work with MBA.”

“Mission Accomplished! Richard Newman of Marcus Bohn Associates ran a 2-hour ‘Create Your Impact’ Body Language session at our Global Sales Conference in Portugal in June 2007. Not only was the content highly entertaining, but it was spot on, crossing the ocean well to both American and European delegates which included from Sales level to Vice Presidents of our Organisation. From the short pre-briefing given, I was extremely impressed with Richard’s immediate understanding of our business and utilisation of analogies, which proved his understanding of our business and our world, rather than using safe ‘own experience’ analogies that many trainers use. The session was fun, interactive and a very good 2 hours. We would certainly recommend and use Marcus Bohn Associates and Richard again – thank you!”

“Following a briefing with our MBA Account Manager with regards to our initial training needs for a ‘Train the Trainer/Appraisal Communication Skills programme’, we were recommended to work with one of MBA’s training Team based on their professional background, experience, area of training expertise and personality. Don was an intuitive trainer who very quickly recognised our needs and adapted the course to suit. The training was, quite honestly, the best training I and my Management Team have EVER experienced. As a result of this, we are now planning an on going development programme for our Sales Team with Marcus Bohn Associates.”

“Special thanks to Marcus Bohn for the recommendation of ‘The Service Engineer as a Company Ambassador’ course, which proved to be an excellent training course conducted by Chris Philips, he put the course across with great enthusiasm and showed great professionalism in all areas. We as a department are now far more aware of the importance of our roles within our company as service engineers and improvements have already taken place within the department. The course was found to be very informative and an excellent team building exercise with every individual participating in the discussions. Thank you for your time.”
