What our satisfied workshop attendees have to say...
I really enjoyed the seminar today. It was really useful and thought provoking.
I have been in business for 21 years with this business and approx 4 years before that in my first 2 businesses, and have virtually run the business by the seat of our pants with no business training at all, learning by our mistakes along the way.
Heaven knows how much better our business could have and will be with some better planning and fine tuning.
Even if I can take one thing from today it will have been worth it.
Thanks very much.

Thank you for a very informative workshop on Effective Business Marketing. It was a very helpful and enlightening seminar especially for newbies like us who are just starting up. It gave me ideas on understanding customers and target markets and helpful tips on advertising which I can apply not only to my own business but also pass on to my clients when I'm designing promotional materials for them.

Hello John, firstly thank you for the training in Business Planning! We felt that it really gave us a great starting point- we can start off on the right foot rather than muddle through then realise we should have a plan!!
I especially found the profitability and sales and pricing sections really helpful.
I have just completed my profit and cashflow forecasts and have been very impressed with the resources that the National Bank have available. I will certainly be utilising these resources as much as possible.

Thank you for the referral of the Big Help seminar. It was great, provided great tools and impressed me with what The National Bank has to offer.

I really enjoyed the seminar AND have done some things I would not have considered before. This year is and keeps on being a huge learning curve, you encouraged me to look harder at the bigger picture and what I am expecting and maybe how I could get that elusive dollar earlier than later.

Over the years, I have probably been to more seminars than I’ve had hot dinners! However your session stands out in that I learnt a couple of new things, took quite a lot on board, particularly, follow up, follow up, follow up. The other thing was that I genuinely enjoyed it. Not easy to achieve, so full marks for your presentation!

The seminar was very thought provoking and in fact many of your concepts are still fresh in my mind.

We came away from Thursday really pumped and stimulated. Have started on our website review by downloading some trial software that will help us in the update. So from us both, thank you very much.
