Client testimonials:

A great response - 57 good quality leads in just a few days.  We have signed up 5 clients already, and expect more to follow.  Thanks, Frazer.
Joanne Lee, Fishergate

Working with David Mack, from the Alchemy Network, has really energised and invigorated our organisation. He brings experience, professionalism and enormous enthusiasm to everything he does. Having that extra resource within the business has enabled us to expand in directions that we wouldn’t have had the time to think of without him.
John Sollars, MD Stinkyink.com

What I found particularly useful was the advice on using my existing client database to re-establish contact and revitalise my business without having to constantly attract new customers without the expense of costly advertising.  Also a very detailed review of my company website and how to get the most from it was great.  Frazer, you made the whole process straight-forward and broke down the report into manageable points rather than an overwhelming task.  Thank you!
Nicholas Roche, Hale Natural Health Clinic.

On arriving at the Clinic today I commented on how professional, courteous and motivated the front of house staff seemed. After asking them, the response was overwhelming....We had a workshop with Tony Carroll from the Alchemy Network. It was awesome, the difference you made. Now after doing business with you I can see where they are coming from. You are a well structured dynamo for any business. Well done again and don't forget to send me those business cards.
Deirdre Shine. Regional Manager. Bank of Ireland

Hi Frazer, we've had a great response from the latest promotion - 48 leads have come in over the last few days making 181 in total over the last few months. We are certainly going to have a busy week!  Our sales people have been contacting your clients and I think even with the current market conditions we will do very well from these leads. Thank you.
Andy Ford, Castle Residential Services.

Frazer, we have received a fantastic amount of interest from your marketing. Lots of people are showing interest and several people have invested already. We are currently discussing with one client the possibility of him investing £800,000 with us. Please keep it up.
K. Metcalf, M.D. TMIV Ltd

We have seen tangible results with systems coming together and an improvement in staff morale.
Paul Papworth-Smith, PPS Chartered Accountants

We have landed one of our biggest contracts since introducing some of the things we have learned.
Ian Cattermole, Z Cars Travel And Coach Company

As a direct result of our association… we have been introduced to an entirely new distribution system for our products and have seen immediate results with 5 new installations throughout the UK.
Alan Bridge, Airtan

Within 3 weeks… we saw our sales increase by an impressive £120,850.00 for the month of July alone. We look forward to a long mutually beneficial relationship.
Sean Higgins, Gerald James Limited

…significant advances that would have taken us years instead of weeks. The business is running extremely well at the moment and with the advancements in customer service we have improved our customer retention from 46% to 94%!!!!! This is absolutely amazing. With the seasonality the business has to endure we would normally be at an extremely quiet point in the year but instead, turnover is increasing and we haven't suffered the usual dip. In a word it's FANTASTIC!’
Martin Ibbotson, Angelo's Takeaway

You've transformed our business! When we sat down in June this year and set ambitious sales and profit targets (e.g. an extra £10,000 sales per month within 6 months) I would have said then that it was nearly impossible to achieve them in less time. However, here we are after less than three months and we have achieved over double the expected levels of sales and profit! That’s more than double the target in less than half the time…… With your assistance we now have a product so desirable people quite literally send money to us through the post after just one telephone conversation… But you know what the best part is... I'm having fun.
Sunil Jaiswal, JamServo Limtied

Our attitude has changed in terms of focus… The response to our marketing has increased phenomenally. As a result we have attracted 10 new fee paying clients, which in our business of graphic design, is very significant indeed.
Peter Banks, EMS Limited

‘… the advice and help I have received has helped me focus on what is important for the business and has helped me to develop a more profitable business. New business has increased and existing clients have all reported improvements in the service we offer.
Graham Molyneux, BMRK Solutions





The best executive is the one who has sense
enough to pick good men to do what he wants
done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling
with them while they do it.
