Simon Says

Starting the week with a spring in our step following our recent client recommendation 

“At the beginning of summer my work had become a chore and a weight around my neck. I felt totally alone in the business, despite having wonderful people working for me. I was ready to give up.”

“Our business has been running successfully for 7 years, but changes to our market brought about by outside forces like Brexit uncertainty and significant losses due to the fall in the pound meant that we were at a point of crisis. I did not know what to try to make the vital changes that were needed to guarantee our survival. More importantly I had lost my motivation and I was a feeling very alone.”

“Today I am sat writing proposals for a potentially great new client and while I am doing it orders are popping into my inbox that I haven’t had to chase…

….Why?”

“It’s mainly thanks to my great new business coach Simon Ellson. In a few short weeks he has helped me to see the joy in running my own business again. Thanks to his simple suggestion of using eventbrite, we are gaining sales from new sources. It is so easy that is feels like ‘free money’ as one of the team says”.

“The practical advice is imperative, Simon has many years of expertise to offer from running his own companies, but alongside that having a person who I can discuss the business with is immensely important. Simon offers another perspective and has helped me take a step back and to focus on what is needed to grow. Now that the immediate problems have passed together we are looking at longer term plans and future growth.”

“As a mentor/coach Simon has found the perfect way to communicate with me to ensure that I get the best from his coaching. The weekly tasks that we set together help me to apply his advice to the business. Best of all I have someone on the end of the phone that I can call if I need to talk something through.”

“If any local business owners feel they need just an extra push then I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. Apart from anything he is a nice chap…We now have a new phrase in the office when someone asks why we have changed a system. It’s because ‘Simon Says’.”

A great client.
