Testimonials From 'Let's Talk... Bright Marketing' and 'Let's Talk... More Profit' Events' - A Selection

I would like to thank him for delivering a fantastic marketing seminar yesterday... After the event, delegates praised him emphatically to myself & other team members, & I have had several calls today saying what an inspirational day they had.  The day went with a real buzz!
- Vanessa Kerrison, Barclays Bank Corporate

I attended your seminar in Crawley today. It was one of the best I've attended. I am also one of the sad people who has read your book "Kick Start your Business" and 3 years on I am still using many of the principles in diagnosing new clients. Thanks for the experience.
- Graham Green, Graham Green Associates

It was great meeting you.  I am really glad that I attended (I almost didn't get there). The seminar helped me see the way forward clearly without complicating the process.   I like the fact that Robert did not use 'management speak' or abbreviations and was quite animated in his approach, which certainly kept the attention of the audience. 

•  As a result of the seminar I have sacked 20% of my customers who were not financially viable anymore and then secured 3 new customers after face to face meetings.
•  I phoned all of my customers and carried out a survey asking the questions quoted in the seminar, especially 'what can I do to improve the service you receive from me'.  The survey was really well received and I was surprised at the knock on effect that it had in securing more work from these customers.  It has also resulted in 2 referrals and I have only asked 2 of them so far!

... it was very refreshing to witness someone who understands how to keep an audience interested and engaged.
- Sue Wright, WrightPlace Consulting

I loved the way Robert got us all talking to each other.  The ideas he gave us all seemed so obvious and simple once he spelled them out... I won a new contract this week by applying some of his suggested techniques when meeting new prospects.  
- Claire Packham, Simpson Packham Services Ltd

I thought the energy levels and inspiration Robert created in the session was fantastic and he made me feel focused. He also allowed me to face the realities of running my own business.
The session as it kept people on their toes, allowed people to express themselves if they wanted to but didn’t put any pressure on anyone who didn’t want to add anything further.
I have taken the notes and digested them and have already started using the scripts for getting business and feedback from my clients using the very simple but effective three questions.
- Michelle McWhinnie, Vantage Strategies LLP

I didn't get the chance to thank you personally for an inspirational talk and work shop... it certainly gets you back on track... so a big big thank you...
- Mike Barrett, Atlantic Hosting Services Ltd

- Pat Marsden,  Just Mackintosh

I have come away with renewed enthusiasm and serious determination. I thought the seminar was great. Informative, energizing, confirmed much of my own practice and gave me new ideas. I thought Robert was great too! High energy performance, a great motivator and its easy to see why he is a successful businessman.
- Tracey, Spencer & Richman

Packed with solid tips on the key actions to take... Will take some time now to focus,weed out particular clients, re-evaluate what I'm offering and generally smartening up my ideas.
Thanks again for your no-nonsense realistic proven approach.
- Janette, Just Real Solutions

An excellent investment of three hours, the elevator pitch alone is a huge help.  I don't know how I've managed to succeed without this to date. Who knows how much brighter the future will be thanks to Robert sharing his wisdom.
- Dan Collins, Fresh Tracks

I thought the seminar was great. I have been to many of them over the years, but the way you managed to hold the attention of around 100 plus people, on your own, for 4 hours was excellent. Your knowledge, confidence and sense of humour shone through making it very enjoyable.
- Geoff Kelleher

Thank you for your Bright Marketing Seminar. I thought it was fantastic,very well organised and informative. Your way of presentation was brilliant and captured our attention at all times.
- Marzieh Tasbihi, Hair & Skin Cosmetic Clinic

As a result of attending the seminar i have already made a few changes:

1. have sent out price increase letters to clients who have been getting my starter rate for the whole 4 years i have been trading! (my fault not there's)
2. I have also started putting together a portfolio of my company and the work I do
3. I also plan to use the "sack 50% of your customers" route for clients who i have been holding onto when it is quite clear they are doing my business much more harm than good.

...it was having the confidence, the proof that it does work, and that it is the right thing to do, that was holding me back. Thank you for giving me the inspiration and confidence i needed to make the changes.
- Angela Read, Read Secretarial Services

Thanks for the seminar and the ideas they are truly inspirational.  They have made me review what I do.  I now realise that it is time to stop playing and do.
- VE, book-keeping Services

To say it changed our lives would be an understatement.  We came home and sat in the garden - not dashing straight back to work - and reassessed all our business issues on a very large piece of A4!
To date we have sacked the cleaner, made our xx year old lovely but passed the sell by date employee redundant, and decided to restructure our entire outlook.
- Bathroom Company

It's got to be one of the best seminars I've been to! Feeling inspired - and determined to ditch the 'pondlife'.
