Looking for a Business Development Consultant?

Choosing a business development consultant or coach who focuses on sales is a big decision. You need to think carefully about how that person will suit you, your business and the rest of your team (if you have one). You also need to be sure  their style will suit your personality.

Here are a few details about me and the way I work, to help you decide if I’m the right Business Development Consultant for you.

I’m an experienced sales coach

Every job I’ve ever had has been focused on driving revenue. I’ve cold-called, worked as a Business Development Sales Manager, run marketing campaigns, led sales teams, and delivered strategic marketing programmes. Work with me and you get more than theory; you get practical experience too. Someone who knows what really works and what doesn’t.

I make things feel simpler

As a Business Development Consultant, I love making life easier for my clients. Why duplicate your efforts? My experience in a range of organisations and with a host of clients means I’ll help you find a way to make your business run more smoothly. And that frees up time for you to work fewer hours or take on other projects.

I’m something of a number cruncher

Maybe it’s my corporate background, but I LOVE analysing what works and what doesn’t. From conversion rates to marketing ROI, I help you dig up the data you didn’t know you had, and show you how you can leverage it to grow your business, as your Business Development Consultant. Not got a head for figures? Not a problem. I can help you pull the data and do the analysis for you. Either way, we’re going to grow your business together. As a Business Development Consultant I can help you with not only the Strategy ie the ‘What’ you need to do, but also the ‘How’ to do it!

I’m here to support you and your business

Strong relationships really matter to me. So, as a Business Development Consultant, building a strong relationship with you is something I care deeply about. I go out of my way to be helpful towards you and give you the support YOU need. I work in a way that balances quick wins such as higher sales with sustainable results for long term success. Ultimately your improved performance will justify (and pay for) your investment in me, as your Business Development Consultant.

Life’s about balance…

When I’m not working as a Business Development Consultant, I love getting outside in the fresh air. That might be pottering in my garden, socialising in our local village, going to the gym or heading out on my mountain bike with my husband. And I LOVE a craft fair where you can admire and purchase directly from the maker. I also love experimenting in the kitchen and partaking in the occasional G&T. After all, life is about being happy and achieving a healthy balance.  Cheers!

Since exhibiting at RHS Chelsea Flow Shower over the years, we recognised that we needed more help from people who could engage knowledgeably with prospective clients until we were able to discuss their future project fully with them. After knowing Louise, we thought she would be ideal due to her understanding of our work. She has always show great interest & enthusiasm over the years & knew she would be engaging – her smile speaks 1000 words. Knowing her fabulous distinction & character we knew she would be personable enough to listen & understand our clients projects whilst helping us make an impression with the excellence we strive for. Louise quickly observed our way of discussing projects with clients in a friendly & honest approach.  Louise directed serious clients to us whilst engaging the crowds, and managed to engage with someone who went on to purchase one of our most prestigious pieces off the stand. She was a great asset to the team & proud to have her on board again for 2022. She has helped me realise that bringing someone else’s skills as diverse as Louise’s to our small team can open a world of opportunities. I would recommend Louise to others because she listened & understood that every business is unique, whilst quickly realising what it is they need to help them grow. Excellence wrapped up in one human being.

I met Louise through business networking and was impressed by her experience and proactive, organised approach to sales and business growth. I recognised that in order to expand my business further, I needed a more structured and focused approach. Louise is very supportive and practical. She has helped me to analyse my current business, implement effective structures and target my efforts in the right directions. I now feel much more confident that I am doing the ‘right things’ and it is certainly starting to show results! I would recommend Louise to anyone who wants a more organised structured approach to sales in order to achieve business growth.

I had been experiencing some challenges with my sales activity and finding the right people to target for my business. After hearing Louise talk at various presentations she was offering complimentary Business Development calls of 45 mins. I decided to take Louise up on this due to her obvious knowledge and experience in finding a niche for businesses and helping businesses to target prospective clients in a highly effective way. I have found her to be really insightful and honest. She really gets to the nub of the issue quickly and efficiently and always comes up with very practical advice for how to move forwards with my business. On the call she really highlighted where I need the most help and this benefited me by focusing my activity and efforts in the most productive way. She also helped find a good number of people for me to practice my EFT on in order to get accredited to practice and she quickly uncovered the ideal target audience for this service. I would recommend Louise to anyone who is looking for ‘laser’ sales coaching that really gets to the crux of the challenges that many of us face when we’re engaging in sales activity and for anyone who wants really practical guidance on how to get those elusive sales.

Louise immediately made a great impression on me in the networking meeting we were in. She has a really clear and purposeful approach to business, this makes her a great partner to collaborate with. I was working on a project that really needed a quick boost to get it off the ground and I remember how promptly Louise responded to me as I called her asking for help. I knew what I wanted to achieve but I needed some help with how I was going to get there. Working with Louise is like having your own business buddy keeping you on track, focused and she encouraged me to try new systems to become more efficient whilst I worked on my goals which remain in place now. I would recommend Louise to all business people finding themselves in a position of needing direction or clarity and focus, time management, and sales focussed goals. Either self -employed or part of a Company, working with Louise really adds value, both to individuals for their own personal development as well as delivering the Business objectives.

Like others (or is it really just me?) I have a fear of selling but I need to ‘sell’ in order to be productive. Since I saw Louise present and have listened to the recommendations that others have provided on her work, I knew that she would be able to help. I signed up on a complimentary Business Development call and within that time Louise not only ‘got’ where I was at (stuck) but was very quickly able to help me take sensible achievable steps to help me move forward. Louise knows her stuff, and this means that even within just a 45min call she is able to give you specific advice – from that call alone I was able to measurably increase the profile of my business, which as a result gave me more social media material. If you are after sharp, practical (improved systems seem like a good idea?), focussed advice with accountability to take your sales ability forward (and perhaps free you from that fear – or is it really just me?), then without doubt Louise is the person for you. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a business coach to help me take Liles Morris forward as there is only so far you can take a business by yourself, it can be hard to see the overall picture when you are part of it. In this process I did speak to a few prospective people to help me with this. However I was looking for someone that had experience and was more business and process focused. I heard Louise do a couple of presentations and her slides were thought provoking, understandable and she clearly knew what she was talking about. Her direct, pragmatic and logical style was appealing. The work started with Louise carrying out a Business Development Review which providing me great insight into our fee structure and data recording and provided a good outside view looking in on my business. I’ll be honest at the start it did feel pretty intense as it was all new but Louise has helped me push my own boundaries so I am now comfortably uncomfortable which I recognise is normal and me moving from my comfort zone to my growth zone. What is key is that she is able to help with the strategy but more importantly able to help with the ‘How to execute the ideas’ which I have found fundamental. I purchase blocks of time which I draw down on depending upon the time of year and the requirements of the business. In addition to working with me directly, she has also carried out group training to the team which enhanced their understanding of communications and client relationships. I will be asking Louise to complete more group training in the near future. I’ve been working with Louise since Feb 21 and would happily recommend small business owners to Louise who are looking for an honest, practicable overview and ways to grow.

I was always the kind of freelancer who did almost anything to avoid ‘selling’. However, I eventually realised that I’d do better if I took a more structured approach to business. Instead of just letting my website do all the work for me, I decided it was time to become a little more focused on attracting my target clients. Louise took me in hand, gently but firmly and helped me become more organised and more confident in the way I deal with my existing and potential clients. Using a variety of techniques, she’s shown me that I can 100% sell my business and increase my sales – all without feeling even a teeny bit mortified. I would completely recommend Louise’s no-fuss approach to sales coaching. Oh, and she’s lots of fun to work with too. Always a bonus!

Louise has a hands-on practical approach to building and sustaining a business and has assisted with :- • Creating a detailed and multi-functional spreadsheet to enable me to monitor and track my progress. • Building discipline and structure into my working day so I work more effectively and efficiently • Acting as the devil’s advocate when I am exploring ideas of how to grow my business. • A general sounding board and someone who is in my corner. I have been working with Louise for a year and my business has grown with still have more plans to implement. I would recommend Louise to anyone who is looking to build a solid business structure through plans, processes, realistic goal setting and is prepared to get out of their comfort zone.

I am always seeking to improve my business with fresh ideas and new perspectives. On meeting Louise I was impressed by her knowledge and experience backed by an analytical and direct practical approach.. Louise provided a Business Development review of my business along with some coaching sessions which have helped me by providing fresh avenues and directions I would not otherwise have considered. This has produced more clarity and helped me to plan the next step in my business. I would recommend Louise to anyone looking to take their business forward.

I have embarked on some consultancy from Louise who has a wealth of experience in sales. She intuitively knows exactly what you need to focus on in your business to make a difference with easy, manageable steps. She is also understanding and very likeable. If you want help with sales, she is your person.
