Fiona was highly recommended to me by another business person who said to me “Fiona turned my business around”. So I met with Fiona and knew instantly that she “got my business and what it was about”. I was drawn to Fiona also by her expert knowledge and experience in sales and marketing. Fiona is thorough, detailed and very personable. She is a pleasure to work with.
Real businesses.
Real growth.
Real results.
Hear from the business owners and teams who've made their breakthrough.
We have worked with Fiona to help increase our business and also for Staff Sales Training in our retail stores. We have good staff and have done training ourselves in the past, but it has been more product focused rather than customer focused. Fiona has helped us to work on our approach, add value to our customers, recommend the ‘right’ kind of product and change the way we focus on targets with staff. Her support and attending of staff meetings has been great and her advice invaluable.
Fiona has been providing me with on-the-mark advice around my business development for the coming year. It’s her determination to see her clients succeed that makes Fiona stand out. Not for her ‘advise . . . and walk away.’ Fiona follows up, provides the structure and advice founded in experience to develop a strong business plan that works.
Of course, it’s over to her clients to actually do the doing – and Fiona’s got the systems at her fingertips and the ability to whip-crack (nicely) so we develop that self-discipline to carry out the required actions.
Value? Yes. Great to deal with? Yes. Results? Yes – if you follow Fiona’s advice.
We hired Fiona from June 2012 through to December 2012 to upgrade our business systems and implement new strategies to increase our company profile and client base.
A Business plan was developed that when followed enabled the admin side of the business to become more efficient. This, in turn, allowed us to focus more on creating and distributing new marketing material to new clients.
As a result of the knowledge and expertise that BreakThough Business Solutions has shared, our business has secured new clients and solidified relationships with existing ones.
We have experienced growth throughout our time working together and there is no doubt that we will continue to do so in the future.
Fiona has helped us look at our business from a totally different perspective. She has helped us to develop new strategies and approaches and we are working more ‘on’ the business rather than being consumed by it. The staff training we have had has gone very well and the staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves by what they have achieved. Fiona makes you accountable to yourself and has a fabulous way of working. I would definitely recommend her.
Fiona helped me to stay on track with my business; put good systems in place, identified opportunities for growth, and implemented various strategies to increase the business. Fiona showed me what steps to take to improve and grow my business. She created a simple but effective way to help new customers with decision making which led to increased orders of product. She is absolutely passionate about what she does and helps business owners to get there.
Fiona has been great to work with. When we met she listened well and grasped the nature of our business quickly, and then worked closely with us to plan an effective staff team day. Her communication was prompt and clear, and the programme she mapped out was spot on for what we wanted. The actual day was delivered professionally, with warmth and fun. Staff enjoyed themselves and learned lots at the same time. I would highly recommend Fiona and we are looking at how we can work with her again.
I would recommend Fiona’s seminars and training to anyone regardless of the nature of their business, be it a new business or established one. Fiona’s training sessions with our staff were incredibly enjoyable, motivating and thought provoking. She bought fresh and strategic ideas for our marketing. Her vast experience in business is evident in her sessions and our staff were keen to put her ideas into practice. Fiona’s educational material was invaluable for our staff to assist our clients in the most effective and productive way.
As a manager I can relax and know that my staff are using this training to enhance and grow the business. Our already established business has benefited significantly with the correct training, so a big thank you to Fiona and her team!
Getting a room full of people who are facing many of the challenges you are experiencing is magic!
