"I can't recommend David highly enough.
He's dramatically improved our telesales scripts, coached other telesales staff, streamlined our marketing emails and made our client reports punchier and sharper. He sourced and implemented our CRM system, tailored it to make it more efficient for our particular requirements and trained other members of staff to use it. He's also worked with us and our trade association to simplify the process by which brokers, insurers and clients share information, making it easier for us to provide reviews for clients and quicker for clients to make sure they're getting the best advice.
David has helped increase the number of leads and cross-selling opportunities we generate from around 100 per year to around 1,200. Our conversion ratio is also better. On a personal level, I've found David to be direct, straight-forward and also fun to work with."
