Testimonials

Clients and audiences love Mike’s style - he is direct and to the point - he makes doing business appear so simple.  Please see below what Mike's clients have said about him:

“I was lucky enough to attend the recent Birmingham Business Breakfast Club where Mike did a talk, which I found both highly intelligent and entertaining with a simple clear message that can be implemented instantly to huge value in any business scenario – which is stop Faffing about!

When it comes to speaking in public Mike is up there with the very best – he has the rare ability of making speaking in public look very natural and easy – which reflects back to the audience to create a very engaging atmosphere.

It is clear that Mike can add massive value to any business looking to improve performance and reach their goals. Big thank you to Mike for his great talk which I have taken on board and now have a voice in my head which screams at me “STOP FAFFING” every time I switch off.” January 20, 2011

I saw Mike speak recently with great confidence, he commanded the stage, and earned the respect of the audience, we are both speakers at the speakers association, so one would expect nothing less! He is also an author and has spoken internationally; he would add value to any sales convention, and conference”. December 13, 2010

"Mike has spoken informatively on several topics ranging from "creating a sales pipeline" to "identifying your best customers" to "stop faffing about!" at events facilitated by Birmingham Science Park Aston. These have always been well received by the SME audience with the feedback complimenting the application orientated nature of the presentations."
Glenn Barrowman

“Birmingham Science Park Aston have utilised Mike's speaking experience to talk at our Seminar for Success series of events promoting Business Support. Mike's upbeat, creative and energetic persona really added an element of genuine intrigue at our events, leaving delegates with a motivated attitude to develop their business further without 'Faffing About!'. We received numerous requests for Mike's 'faffometer' to which we now host an element of Mike's resources via our web site as business support tools. We would highly recommend Mike to catalyse that spark of determination out of anyone willing to listen. Many thanks again for your support at our events.”
