I recently had a 1:1 with Michael. He is really easy to talk to and has the ability to use great stories and examples to bring to life what he is talking about and make absolute sense.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business is ready to make the most of the opportunities we have in front of us and we’re creating many, many more as well. The work that Michael has done has provided us with insight into where we can grow our business, and he’s helped to develop and embed the processes so we know how to grow it too.

Having a sounding board like Michael has been invaluable for us and the money we’ve spent has been some of the best that I feel we’ve ever spent at JWT.

I don’t think I have ever closed for Christmas feeling so motivated.

James Walker – Managing Director, James Walker Textiles

We have been working with Michael for almost 4 months and over that time he’s added a tremendous amount to our business and brought some valuable experience and expertise to NFC 360.

Michael recognised immediately the role of our product and the impact it could have with our customers. He was also quick to pick up on the financial business model and identify critical elements within that area.

Michael was instrumental in recommending a course of action that would help us ensure that we focused, not on the technology and the capabilities of our product, but on the benefits that our product brought to our customers.

In many ways our target markets are simple to define, but with multiple potential stakeholders we defined what was important to each to ensure that we had benefits that would make our product a compelling solution to the board members of well-known UK brands.

Through his strategic thinking, and by pushing us to answer the important questions, the resulting marketing materials he’s also helped to develop have exceeded our expectations.

I am pleased to recommend Michael as someone who can add as a significant amount to any business.

Garry Hopper – Chairman, NFC 360 Ltd

MARKETING STRATEGY

… as his counsel in that business was so well informed we also started to ask Michael to become involved on a more regular basis with other businesses of ours.

He has been fulfilling a part-time role as Marketing Director for us since April ’12, not only guiding the development of our marketing materials but working strategically with our businesses.

Michael is able to work with the business unit heads and quickly get to grips with their business challenges, bringing some great experience to help formulate a plan for growth and success. He’s passionate about the progression of that plan and holding people accountable for delivery.

Michael has been instrumental in a change in the format and the rigour with which our business units now write business plans right across the Group. He continues to assist a number of our businesses in a strategic planning role and we look forward to him continuing to make a positive impact on our Group.

Andrew Seal – Group Managing Director, SIL Holdings Ltd

Over a period of months Michael facilitated discussion and worked with us to define clear and distinct market positioning and propositions for our four key brands.

He was able to drive the brand teams to identify what differentiated their product and using various tools helped us to develop a hierarchy of key messages, a tone of voice for each brand and to formulate simple and easy to understand propositions so that each team and more importantly our customers could understand what each brand could deliver.

David Gallimore – Managing Director, Luxury Fabrics Ltd

I met with Michael to discuss my marketing strategy for my business and again, I would not hesitate in recommending Michael to anyone who needs to take their business to the next level.

Cheryl Walsh – Founder, WIN-WYN Networking

I’ve met with Michael a number of times in connection with my therapy business and always found his advice considered, insightful and relevant to me and the size of my business.

In a relatively short period of time he was able to change how I think about my products and develop a more effective system for marketing and discussing them with clients. This made them easy to understand and easy for clients to buy.

I’ve also seen Michael speak about business planning and marketing and he’s able to use simple examples to bring the business concepts he discuses to life and make them easily digestible.

He’s well worth talking to if you want to grow your business and make sure your on the most effective path.

TEA FOR TWO

A genuinely lovely guy! Great strategist and open-minded. I first met Michael at one of the WIN-WYN Networking events where he shared so much of his expertise openly. Michael at a later date came to see me and helped discuss an area in my business where I was losing a bit of focus.

Michael came up with some terrific concepts and strategies which I will definitely be putting into practice. Friendly and very welcoming. More people should utilise his expertise. Thanks Michael.

Chodak Hunter – Director and Owner, Affilisearch Recruitment Solutions
