Sally Naughton
Is a superstar at Sales. After leaving a 20 year corporate career to start her own buisness "I think there is a real hurdle to get over for a lot of mums in business that has to do with putting themselves out there more, being more upfront about their biz/their products and promoting the benefits/communicating the benefits to others who ultimately will be grateful for the information."  This can drastically increase the translation of lookers into buyers.  First and foremost It is about engaging the customer in a conversation about them and building the relationship, asking them questions that will help to find their needs and then you can lead them to how your products can help meet those needs.


Nick Bowditch
Nick built up three successful small businesses in less than 2 years without spending a cent on conventional marketing or any traditional advertising.

He built up that business from a customer database of just four when he started, to more than 4,500 a year later – all without staff, a shopfront, and without any mainstream advertising in print, radio or television – instead promoting his new business using Social Media Marketing.
