I worked with Fiona because I felt stuck and wasn’t sure how to grow my business.  We quickly put simple systems and processes in place with existing and new clients and sales grew rapidly.  I created new information and marketing material which clearly explained what I do and the benefits to my patients, and this has led to me being invited to attend events and speak about my products and what I do.  All of this means a huge increase in self-belief when you see these good things happening.  My income has also increased by around 30% this year.  I could not recommend Fiona and what she does enough, it has been so valuable to me and my business.

Fiona has helped me with a strategy plan for the next 12 months of my new business.  she took the time to truly understand my business and has come up with an action plan that is already seeing results.  The action / activity plan is easy to follow and I can’t wait to see the results that will follow.  I can’t recommend Fiona from BreakThrough Business Solutions highly enough.

Since joining the Fast Track Start Up Program™ I have written myself a comprehensive 90-day action plan and am actively checking in on it to make sure I’m on target. The systems module helped me realise that I’m more of a visual tactile person so I’ve created a post-it note wall with my sales targets and pipeline – now it’s not hidden away on my computer and I look at it much more often. I’m also actually excited about sales!!!  It doesn’t feel half as scary anymore and I’m even looking forward to following up leads and putting my new skills into practice! The sales module has been a game changer for me. I’ve realised there were so many holes in my sales process that was losing me a lot of money!  I’m now feeling really confident about bringing in more business, and actually converting it when I do.  I’m also going to follow up proposals now rather than just leaving them with the client.

Module One was all about creating an action plan, and I think the downloads are great.
I will put the ones that are relevant to me on the wall in my office so I make sure I stay on track with my priorities and new things for me to remember. This will be really helpful!

I was looking for a business coach to help me figure out how to reach my goal of taking my part-time business and making it full-time employment for myself. I came across Fiona and we worked together to develop a detailed plan for the next 12 months, with monthly tasks that will enable me to reach that goal. After using Fiona’s services I now have a clear plan for the coming months which I feel is very achievable. I can’t wait to come back again to see Fiona next year when I’m ready to tackle the next stage in growing my business!

When we started working together – I soon realised how much value your Women in Business Program would add to my business.  You have great practical systems with templates, processes and a sharp sense of what I should do next to grow my business.  Your advice is exactly what is needed and you help me stay motivated through the challenges too – thank you!

When I first heard Fiona speak at the launch of her BreakThrough Women in Business Program, her energy and enthusiasm caught my attention.  But her practical expertise and results driven strategies struck a cord with me.  I have been working with Fiona for 6 months and she has really helped me understand my business, and focus on sales and marketing strategies.  I rely on Fiona’s guidance and practical advice and look forward to continue working with her as my strategy business coach.

We have worked with Fiona and Bella from BreakThrough Business Solutions for the past year to enhance the performance of our sales team. The results have been exceptional with the team exceeding sales targets and expectations. Our sales have increased tenfold even while we have been integrating new sales people into the team. The tools and techniques provided in the sessions have been critical to the success of the team. The sales team have largely enjoyed the process and look forward to working with both Fiona and Bella over the long term.

Fiona was recommended to me by a colleague who had attended one of her women’s events. We were looking for a different “voice” to address our Franchisees at our annual conference. HomeTech has been having its annual conference for over 20 years so we are very particular and focused on who we get as our Keynote speaker. HomeTech is in the service business installing Solatube skylights and ventilation nationwide through its franchised installation network. Fiona’s was fantastic. Rather than delivering a generic message, Fiona spent a lot of time prior to the conference probing into how the business ticks and our expectations and the message we wanted to be delivered. This also involved interviewing several Franchisees before the conference. In Fiona’s presentations over two days, there was a lot of interaction with the team and breakout exercises. Fiona not only delivered the message; she took it to another level and well and truly exceeded our expectations. We have seen significant improvement in some of our franchisee’s performance in a short time. HomeTech is extremely pleased with the successful conference Fiona created for us. I would recommend Fiona’s services to any company that wants practicality, energy, and value for money. We are extremely pleased with our investment.

Before working with Fiona, my biggest fear/worry about hiring a coach was that I’d end up spending a lot of money & not getting much out of it.
I chose Fiona & her BreakThrough Women in Business Program after researching a huge number of coaches, because it was important for me to find someone who was capable & able to make a measurable difference to my business.
I’ve worked with mentors in the past but Fiona is by far the best coach I have had! I definitely made the right choice!
The results from working with Fiona & the BreakThrough Women in Business Program were a total success!
Fiona has helped me organize, structure, set & meet targets, clarify and the amount that I’ve achieved working alongside her has been amazing!
I have received real value working together with Fiona & I say if you are thinking of getting Fiona on board, “Do it! You’ll see results quickly!
