I did Ian Genius’s Turbocharge Your Sales training, and what I can say is that the training is absolutely incredible. It’s very easy to understand and very easy to apply. It’s really fun, interactive, and straight to the point. He helps you nail your message in a way that cuts out all the noise and gets straight to what you should actually be saying to your potential clients. So if you don’t know how to present yourself, or you feel that the way you’re presenting yourself probably isn’t working but you don’t know how else to do it, then definitely speak to Ian Genius.Posted on Google![]()

It's always a delight speaking with Ian as, invariably, he always leaves you with some excellent nuggets of wisdom. Having recently pivoted my business offering, I knew that I needed to speak to Ian, to refine my networking pitch. Within minutes I had something I was really chuffed with, all thanks to Ian.Posted on Google![]()

Sales is one of those things, it’s a tricky one isn’t it? businesses don't like talking about money, they don't like selling, they don't want to be pushy. After just one hour with Ian, everything changed. He explained how we could market ourselves by introducing VALUE to our clients. And the way he explained it was so simple, that it suddenly clicked in our minds and managed to get six new clients off the back of just one hour with Ian. Ian has given us clarity of our value. Thank you IanPosted on Google![]()

I already knew Ian was talented because of the engaging content he publishes. However, it was only after spending time in a training session with him that I truly understood how valuable he is to my business. If you are struggling to achieve the sales figures you want – or if you find yourself being "ghosted" by prospects as soon as you have sent a quote – you need to speak to him. The value here goes beyond simple clarity. There is no "tricksy" sales nonsense involved. Instead, Ian provides logical, straightforward frameworks that are incredibly easy to follow. It is no exaggeration to say that the training I did with Ian revolutionised my approach. I have been in business and involved in sales for a long time, and I only wish I had met him when I first started. It would have saved me a great deal of heartache and frustration.Posted on Google![]()

“From first meeting Ian at a network event I knew he was someone that I would enjoy working with. His passion and knowledge of his subject is infectious. I’ve had numerous sessions with Ian regarding the topic of Sales and found Ian to be very empathetic on this issues of selling and how to approach an often difficult subject. The concept of explaining issues as a choice: 6 year old easy or really difficult is brilliantly effective and really helps demonstrate how important it is to make the “selling simple” Ian clearly has many real world experiences that he draws on anecdotally to explain his concepts. He uses humour appropriately to help deliver his sessions. His videos on LinkedIn whilst being humorous are very cleverly put together and really engaging in to the issues of selling - Ian clearly has a knack of making the concepts enjoyable I would wholeheartedly recommend Ian as someone to work with if you want to demystify the concept of sales and how you can improve your techniques for engaging with customers.” I'd like to add that Ian has continued to be a source of support with Sales and it cannot be over emphasised the importance of simplifying concepts for people and how effective that is when dealing with customers, something that Ian excels at.Posted on Google![]()

Ian’s review of our prospect meetings was immediate and transformative. He showed us exactly how to simplify our approach and cut the jargon, which directly led to a massive increase in effectiveness. Since implementing his advice, we've had a 100% success rate, signing every prospect seen. A highly valuable consultation.Posted on Google![]()

I have been using Ian as a Sales Coach for two months now. I have always been able to convert prospects who come via a warm referral, but I have struggled to convert cold prospects that come through marketing efforts. I started by booking one of his value hour sessions, and I then decided to book his twelve-week course. If you are a financial advisor (pensions, investments, mortgages, etc.), then Ian is definitely for you. Ian, as he loves to remind you, has a degree in mathematics (only joking Ian!). He understands number-based concepts extremely well, he also teaches you how to communicate numbers to people in a simple way. As he says, confused people don't buy. Ian also works very hard to understand the value of your particular service or product. The more you give Ian in terms of what you do, how you do it, and why you do it, the more he helps you. After 9 weeks, I am starting to see more conversions and better relationships. Also, my confidence has increased.Posted on Google![]()

I have worked with Ian on many occasions, and attended his 1-2-1 and group training sessions, both of which I will continue to do as my business evolves. Ian has completely changed my approach to selling. His message is straightforward, no jargon, no complicated language. He has taught me the benefit of keeping things simple, and it has been beneficial to me in respect of the confidence to persuade people to buy what I offer rather than sell to them. I highly recommend Ian - he provides great advice, it's cost-effective, and it provides value no matter what size of business you represent.Posted on Google![]()

Whether you hate selling or don’t, working with Ian is a game changer. I have learnt so many things I didn’t even know I needed, and I can confidently say you will too. More than IanGenius, he’s IanValuable. Chat with him, he’s got a wealth of resources and a uniquely effective approach to helping your business to better serve your clients.Posted on Google![]()

I am near completion on Ian's Effective Sales Conversations course, in fact we should be finished however Ian felt that he needed to give me a few more sessions to ensure I'm comfortable. I'm not exaggerating when I say it’s transformed how I approach my pitch and my approach to new business development. Before the course, my pitch often felt like a price list with a bit of polish. Now, it's a clear, confident explanation of the value I bring, without the fluff or the hard sell. Ian's given me a simple, practical framework (bespoke to my business ) that’s helped me cut through the noise and speak directly to what matters to potential clients. This training didn’t just improve my pitch, it made it land. If you’re tired of being seen as “just another option” and want to stand out for the right reasons, I’d absolutely recommend working with Ian, he's a genius (excuse the pun). Thank you so much Ian 🙏
Sales training for hospitality businesses, to help clients understand the value of your advice, stop delaying decisions, and choose with confidence
Even when your advice is right, clients hesitate or go quiet.
Confusion is the real villain
They move to a lower cost option
Fees feel safer when value isn’t clear
They try to handle it themselves
DIY platforms, guesswork, costly mistakes
They do nothing at all
No action. Risk quietly builds.
Hospitality sales coaching for small businesses, sales training for hospitality teams, customer service sales training for hospitality, and sales coaching for hotels and venues make it easier to build trust faster, handle objections better and close more deals without sounding pushy.
Clients are really saying they don't get it
And when value doesn't land:
• Fees get squeezed
• Clients take less than you recommend
• Good prospects quietly disappear
All this undermines confidence in your pricing and your process
Good decisions shouldn’t lose out because it isn’t clearly understood
Conversations not converting?
You’re having long client meetings, but decisions stall or go quiet.
Time is spent. Revenue doesn’t move.
Struggling to demonstrate value?
Prospects see advice as similar everywhere and compare on fees.
Your expertise gets undervalued.
Fed up when prospects focus on fees?
Clients fixate on fees instead of outcomes and long-term impact.
Better advice loses to cheaper options.
Feel slimy talking about money?
Pricing conversations feel awkward, forced, or apologetic.
Confidence drops when fees come up.
Clients picking more affordable packages?
Prospects choose lower-cost options, even when it’s not right for them.
Premium services get ignored.
Not charging enough for your services?
You underprice services to avoid pushback or objections.
Margins shrink. Pressure builds.
Convert more leads into high-paying clients
Turn good conversations into clear client decisions.
Drive clients to fully embrace your premium services
Clients understand the true impact of your service and choose it.
Stop discounting — charge what your expertise is worth
Fees are understood, justified, and accepted without pushback
Fill your pipeline with high-value leads that convert faster
You attract clients who value advice, not just lower costs.
Turn existing clients into your hottest source of new leads
Confident clients refer because they finally get your value.
