“When utilising an external speaker for a sales conference, it is really important that the person feels comfortable with the Company’s culture and values and similarly, the Company and its employees feel at ease with the speaker – Mags was a perfect fit for Ferring – and it certainly showed on the day. Positive feedback was received from all our sales teams who unanimously felt that it was an excellent programme to start the year.
Mags Bell is a true professional who is inspiring and motivating with an enormous amount of energy and good humour. We definitely can see Mags helping us again with our communication sessions at future sales conferences.”

“I thought I should write to let you know how the CPD course for the East of Scotland Breast Nurses was received by ourselves and the delegates. As you know, our objective was to empower the nurses to feel confident to speak up for the patients at MDT meetings etc.
We felt that the starting point should be communication and presentation skills as they are being asked to be involved in meetings more and more. We also explained that we would be willing to run a series of courses if they were found to be useful and relevant. The nurses were very keen to get this value added service which they would not otherwise be offered.
I think the fact that you came along to one of their meetings to explain to them what you would do and what it would mean to them helped to let them see that they could benefit greatly from the courses. It meant that as soon as we sent out the invitations we were fully subscribed. In fact we could have filled the course twice over.
On the day, the organisation and professionalism of your company shone through. The pace was just right, you could see people progress as the day went on and as you promised it was lots of fun!!!
The nurses who attended have raved about it to the nurses who didn’t get a place and they are all clamouring for us to do it again. For the original group we are all agreed that we want to continue the learning with Belief Systems being the next course in April.
From my point of view it is doing exactly what I want it to do for the nurses but is also raising the Roche profile and giving us an advantage over our competitors and although I’ve done lots of communication & presentation skills courses in my time in the Pharma industry I must say I got lots out of it personally.
I’m still using the skills I got on the day which is unusual as you normally forget most of these courses as soon as you go back to you everyday life. I am looking forward to ALL of us getting plenty out of the future courses and I think we are going to have to look at duplicating the courses for those nurses who were missed first time around.
Thanks for your excellent input and I look forward to continuing our success.”
