Client Testimonials
It doesn't matter how good we think we are, at the end of the day it is what our clients think about the service that we provide and the valuable knowledge we share that is most important.
Below are testimonials from our clients which we hope will give you comfort when thinking about using our services.
At Kintish, we have learnt the importance of testimonials.
It does not matter how good we say we are, or how good we think we are - no one believes us when we say it!
However, if a satisifed client says it...then it must be true!
Below are just a small selection of client testimonials we have received.

'Sue Tonks trained our Partners and Associates in networking skills and also covered how to follow up effectively - an area that many courses do not cover, or do not cover effectively. Feedback form attendees was excellent - they found the course very informative and helpful but also enjoyable! Sue's style generated confidence and enthusiasm in the group and I am glad to say a number of those who attended are now networking regularly and no longer find it a daunting task.' 'Kintish have been very easy to work with, responsive and helpful and Sue's course was very well received. We look forward to working with them again.' |

Will has entertained audiences over the past year at various different Business Link events. His presentations are packed full of practical value, he gives lots of valuable tips and people are always eager to put these into practice straight after the events. The feedback from delegates has been fantastic, comments included ‘it was a great positive boost’, ‘he is amusing and really good at diffusing people’s fears of networking’, ‘I found Will entertaining, as well as informative’. Will impressed us so much that we have invited him to speak at the Business Link staff-training event.

I first experienced one of Will's workshops in Oct 2002, where he provided me with great , practical, easy to follow hints and tips for networking. I have used these since that time and now have no fear of any networking event that I attend. I consider that the methods that I learnt have stood me in very good stead, helped me win business which in turn resulted in my being suceessful in my roles since that time."
Will, hope that will help and thanks again for yesterday.
With kind regards

"I attended one of your networking courses back in April. I just wanted to write to give you a little bit of follow up from the course. Thanks to your tips on networking, I have made a real effort to keep contacts made over the years at my previous employers alive. Through one of those contacts, I became aware of and was successful in applying for a position in the litigation department of the BBC. It is a great opportunity for me - and one which came about solely because of my persistance in keeping in contact with people and staying in the loop. So thanks for your advice and enthusiasm for networking - it has made a real difference to me"

Hi Will
Just had to say I was so sorry to have missed your seminar as I know it would have been really good. I had some urgent business to attend to in the office beforehand and just ran out of time. Each time I hear your presentation I always come away learning something new so I was doubly sorry.
My networking confidence is building (thanks to you) and I am also now learning which events bring the best result, so from being a networking virgin I am now becoming a discerning networker and developing the right results.
Kind regards

Sue Tonks is an engaging presenter who immediately established a great rapport with our clients. She made everyone laugh but, more importantly, our guests went away with added confidence and new networking skills that will go a long way in helping their business progress.
Will of course is always incredible and the double act was extremely successful. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants to improve the effectiveness of their networking.
