BEST MOMENTS

"I'm actually quite focused in two types of individuals. One is coaches and the second one is entrepreneurs."

"I think what social media now and so many platforms and ways of getting through I think you can play a little bit less of the numbers game so even if it's sending either a brief email or a little bit of a direct mail letter."

"I think that's true as well because the truth is LinkedIn you can do much better research than before. You can find the names of the right people and therefore it starts to become easier to try to target them and get hold of them." 

"The easiest way to elaborate on that is I will do it through the vehicle of the word we just used, the C word is collaboration and partnerships."
