Testimonials
I have been working with Sonia from the Business Brains Club since June 2016. Since completing the mentoring program, I have seen significant difference in my business. I was confused about how to grow my business, but Sonia showed me a clear direction through her LEAR questioning technique. We worked on my business strategy, reviewed my sales model and marketing approach and completed financial modelling on the business. Since starting with Sonia I have seen a 20% increase in revenue, my profitability has improved, I have a clear marketing plan and my staff are more engaged and loyal. Working through the "Six Pillars of Growth" has been instrumental in my business turn around.
