However for success and growth to occur bravery must come into play. Bravery is nothing without delivery. A relentless drive to deliver real lasting growth. This is the Hodson Way.

RESPECT

–

Clinging desperately to tradition is not a good thing. Your audience changes constantly; however, you must often strive to retain existing and bring in "the new". Respect is all about fanning the flames of tradition. Businesses are often surprised where it can take them. They can not only advise given their vast experience, but respect fully guide you in the right direction.

BRAVERY

–

Change can be a little daunting to the risk averse. People simply don’t know what they don’t know. Having a highly experienced guide to lead you on this journey to change is key. Change should not be reckless and for the sake of it, but it should always be productive and encouraging of real growth. Creating an obsession to deliver this success is a brave cultural change that helps define The Hodson Way.

DELIVERY

SUCCESS STORIES

Don’t just take our word for it. The following are current reviews of the The Hodson Way at play in their businesses.

I’ve known Daniel for many years as my go-to golf expert.

Having worked together in such an iconic brand as De Vere hotels, it has always been fantastic having someone with the wealth of knowledge, not just in the operational standards but within the commercial space.

His contribution to the wider groups performance has been invaluable. He is such a critical part of the team and brings with him a sense of fun and professionalism and the ability to engage teams and drive performance.

Daniel has been at the heart of some of the game’s most innovative and successful golf memberships in recent times, which is testament to his foresight and strategic thinking.

He has a fantastic understanding of the golf and leisure industry, which has enabled him to create new product offerings which have re-written how aspects of golf management operate.

Above all, he takes a professional and personal pride in gaining the best results from his team, and for his clients, and is a fantastic partner for investors in the game.

We were aware that changes to our pricing model could negatively impact business performance if our sales team weren’t fully prepared. We turned to Daniel to bring his energy and professionalism to the situation. We knew that bland training would not suffice so Daniel developed a bespoke course for us.

This not only coached the team to deliver the new pricing but also bolstered their confidence and self-belief.

This training took the team out of their comfort zone, but the result has been an increase in average order value and, more importantly, a team that believes in themselves.

Daniel always undertakes a really deep dive into how the sales teams are operating, the cultures, the skills, and the workflows that we've got going on and in every instance, he improves the results considerably. So if you're looking for somebody to come in take ownership of your sales issues to have empathy and bring your teams along with him to significantly improve the sales results that you get from any part of your business wherever that may be within the sales funnel then I would highly recommend that you pick up the phone have a conversation with Daniel. Get him to come and have a good look at what's currently going on in your business because I guarantee that he will squeeze exceptional results out of your existing team whilst recommending ideas and thoughts to really take your business to the next level.
