WoodHazel has completely transformed my approach to selling and I can't thank them enough. I have always had a perception of myself as someone who finds it difficult to sell.
.a bit of a reluctant sales person..
We have been working together on their Philosophy of Selling programme and what I have appreciated is that although there is a clear structure in what they teach it's not a cookie cutter approach by any means. Both Rachel and Ciaran are brilliant active listeners and mould their sessions to fit the person and business that they are working with.
After each session I came away with very clear action points to both implement and practice before we next met. The next session always incorporated a review and consolidation from the session before which I really liked.
These guys really know their stuff and I really appreciate their straight talking, no BS approach to working with their clients. Both Ciaran and Rachel compliment each other in their various skill sets.
If you are looking for tangible, actionable advice and support to become a better sales person for your business you definitely need to talk to WoodHazel.

Had the pleasure of working with Ciaran at Woodhazel. He is very professional, listening and balanced coach. Took time to establish my needs and what i was looking from our sessions and each session was focussed on the aspects we discussed as areas to improve/work on. Was easy to have conversations and open up. Overall, very pleased with the sessions and would recommend. More...

I recently completed the Philosophy of Selling course with both Rachel and Ciaran. Through their questioning, active listening, and collaborative approach, they understood what is was that would best benefit me and the business I work for. The course was tailored to suit my learning needs and the experience was very bespoke and personal. They took the time to learn my background and experiences. The focus was very much about me and how they could support me to improve in the skills I was struggling with. They could see that a lot of it was confident based and they guided me through a learning journey that was reflective, task and theory based and it has allowed me to feel so much more confident in my own abilities and how to utilise my transferable skills from previous job roles. I really enjoyed the experience and how much I have grown professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel and Ciaran, they treat their clients with the utmost confidentiality, and truly do take every individual situation as unique and different and tailor it to this effect. Thank you both, Felicity More...

I've worked with Ciaran for 6 weeks now and my progress has been incredible so far! We have clearly defined my goals and Ciaran has helped me map out how to achieve them whilst blinkering out the superfluous noise that slows us down and knocks us off target!

Ciaran and Rachel bring a wealth of experience and knowledge and bonus that they are an absolute delight to work with.
We had some blocks around ‘selling’ and about getting our message across confidently. With their guidance and mentoring that’s all changed. They are very supportive but will challenge and provide a different point of view when called for. If the word sales gives you the ick, I would highly recommend speaking to the wonderful duo that is Ciaran and Rachel.

It was great to work together with Ciaran on my self-development. There were insightful talks that gave me confidence and made me acquire a new approach to my daily performance at work, during meetings and most importantly a new approach to my own self. By having that confidence, I've been able to increase my number of accomplishments to a high quality of work. I thank Ciaran for all time invested and look forward to starting sales training soon.

We talked through various scenarios and identified opportunities I hadn't considered before.
Communication is informal and supportive, and they are very approachable.
I highly recommend WoodHazel to anyone who is looking for support to improve their career.

Craig Grattan
As my business grew, a lot of the duties were outsourced to people with the expertise. Distribution, Marketing, Accounts etc. The one duty which I kept under my control was sales - an area which I had been doing since the start but didn't understand fully the theory behind it, or the true importance of selling. After completing the Philosophy of Selling course with Ciaran and Rachel, I now fully understand the meaning of selling and how to implement a structured sales plan. I am now a lot more confident that I can grow sales and relationships with customers thanks to the course. Most importantly, the course is designed to start at your level. You are not expected to be at a certain level to begin this course. I would highly recommend to all company salespeople. More...

Gavin Keenan
I have engaged and continue to regularly avail the services of Ciaran and Rachel from Woodhazel Consulting on numerous occasions.
As a 1 person company director, I wanted expertise advice from an outside perspective and a deep dive into my business, marketing and sales processes. Ciaran's wealth of knowledge in the field of sales and relationship building/nurturing coupled with Rachels acute marketing acumen makes for an outstanding combination of skills which have added enormous value to my offering.
I would readily recommend the services of Ciaran and Rachel of Woodhazel Consulting to any business that wants to take themselves to the next level.

I engaged Ciaran McKenna some weeks ago as I felt I was at a standstill with my career, which was negatively feeding into my personal life. His compassion, empathy, experience and engagement has allowed me to turn things around and provide the clarity I needed to be a happier version of myself. I would highly recommend Ciaran. More...
