Testimonials

I have received training from Pippa on several occasions, both during my work within the legal profession and now working as an independent consultant in the public and charity sectors. The work she did on networking and turning contacts into clients has proved highly beneficial in building my business. Through clear and practical examples, Pippa showed me the importance of approaching networking as an integral part of business development which I could apply in different settings. When I started my business, I followed her system to the word and, within 6 weeks, this led to securing my first client on a two year contract. I still apply Pippa's principals on a weekly basis and over the past 4 years have built up a solid client base.
