  • positive review  I attended the recorded version of the course. Although I was not able to connect to the others in the session I nevertheless found it very useful. I have made lots of notes for my reference and thought there was food for thought in my approach to my marketing strategies. Will have to tweak them here and there.

    positive review  I attended the course 'Learning the mechanics of marketing and sales' and thought it was of a really high quality. Syd was personable, easy to listen to and very knowledgeable. She made the three hours fly by and I came away feeling inspired and motivated with lots of practical tips and ideas to put in to place. It also allowed me to reflect on my own journey so far and make some decisions about my business. I would highly recommend this course and am already planning my next course with Syd!

    positive review  This week I attended the "Learning the Mechanics of Sales and Marketing" workshop with Syd. I cannot recommend it enough. I walked away with insight into specific marketing and sales techniques for the education sector, which has lacked in other courses I have taken. The course was well put together, provided an opportunity to reflect on my personal business and listen to the experiences of others. It helped me to see what my current processes are and how I can move my business forward. Syd is creative and warm, making it very easy to join in with discussions and conversations. Her workbook is well designed and makes you really want to delve into the topic. The 3 hours flew by, I could have happily kept going longer!

  • positive review  I really enjoyed the course on sales & marketing. I found it helped me link together and structure the ideas I already had in a coherent manner. It was reassuring to hear I was already doing a lot of good things, I just needed to tweak my processes in order to successfully convert leads. Syd has a way of explaining things so they make sense, and the fact that it links directly to education businesses makes it totally relatable. I'm looking forward to putting into practise everything I have learnt. The only downside - I wish it could have gone on for longer!

    positive review  It was my first time attending a workshop by Syd. I would highly reccommend for anyone who runs an educational business. The marketing and sales workshop was value laden, simple to understand and lots of actionable ideas which can be applied in my business. Look forward to attending future sessions 😊.

  • positive review  Just completed Learning the Mechanics of Marketing and Sales course. The course was very informative and tailored directly to education and tutoring. Syd gave great tips on marketing language and understanding the jargon, and making your business 'pain and rejection' become a resolution to create opportunities. It's really helped me to gain clarity for my business sales and marketing strategy and to formulate clear next steps. Thank you. I would highly recommend you attend.
