I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic event and experience... The retreat was extremely beneficial in helping to determine both our staffing arrangements for future direction and training as well as focusing on your clients objectives... as well as the content being very beneficial, the location of the retreat was also great as it enabled one to take yourself out of your business and focus on growing and building your business...
M Lancaster CEO A-Z Mortgages
I have come away from this retreat with more practical and achievable material than I could have dreamt of, and am now reaping the rewards in my new career as a direct result of the things we learnt in Bali. THANKYOU - when can we do this again?
Janis Glassop Stream Financial
What can you teach an old warhorse? With the knowledge and training Catherine and her team displayed, I have developed a serious appreciation for empathising with my customers to create better repeat business and turn negative calls into jobs which means dollars in my invoice book...

The benefit to me has been immediate. The three of us are now implementing procedures learnt and the results show directly. Listening, negotiating, handling objections, closings, maintaining and body and energy language are all part of what we are now employing in our everyday effort. It just works.
