Testimonials

Here’s what some of my clients have to say about my services.

“Fiona’s in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of sales and marketing have been invaluable to Share Navigator. We identified this area as key to the success of the business, but were not able to afford a full time manager. However, what Fiona was able to do was provide the high-level strategy that we needed without incurring the full cost of a manager. Using mentors.ie was not only a good decision based on cost; it was also a good one based on revenue generation. Fiona was able to advise us on tailoring all aspects of our sales and marketing processes to ensure consistency across our brand and communicate that in the marketplace. This enabled us to proceed much faster through our life cycle and development, which in turn allowed us to get to the real business of making sales. We feel that using experienced people to help establish the foundations of Share Navigator will pay dividends in the years to come”.

Aidan Bodkin, Director, Share Navigator 

 “Thanks to Fiona my business has undergone a successful restructuring of our sales cycle and a clearer definition of our product base. Fiona's help has been instrumental in increasing our sales turnover, which in the current climate says a lot. Fiona is a hands-on mentor and goes above and beyond the call of duty to set up sales meetings using her vast network of contacts. Her experience and business knowledge has been of great benefit to iCreative. I’m delighted with the overall service and could not speak highly enough of Fiona who has really helped me enormously in getting my business to where it is today. I look forward to developing a long relationship with both her and mentors.ie”.

“Fiona Flynn has been an excellent mentor to me and my business. Her experience, knowledge, and level of expertise have been invaluable in helping to grow the business. She has been highly professional and personable in all aspects of her work and provides a first class service, which has been of huge benefit.
It is fantastic to meet someone regularly who really believes in my business and products in the way that Fiona does. Fiona is able to listen to my ideas and vision for the business, and then map out a clear route as to how to achieve my goals. By meeting with Fiona regularly, I find that goals are achieved much more quickly, often with a flurry of activity before an impending meeting!
Fiona is able to provide great insight into selling and marketing that would not come to my attention without her help. Her ideas and suggestions are so good that they are implemented nearly every time. I couldn’t recommend the mentors.ie service (and particularly Fiona’s input) highly enough. She is a true professional with a huge work ethic that extends beyond the call of duty (in one instance into a bank holiday). The input and feedback she has given to the business has been hugely positive. We wouldn’t be at the stage we are at now without her help”.

Donal Moloney, Moloney Woodcraft

“For many start-ups, especially in the technology sector, sales is often an under-rated and overlooked aspect of the business plan and process. Fiona was able to bring a clarity and structure to our sales planning and outlook that was incredibly helpful, and enabled ePub direct to really focus on our target market and key objectives. I would highly recommend attending one of Fiona’s sessions with the knowledge that everyone, no matter their level of expertise, would benefit”.

Gareth Cuddy, ePubDirect.com

“As a past participant of the Genesis Enterprise Programme, I found the sales sessions with Fiona Flynn to be most beneficial. Fiona provides a lot of practical experience and advice along with realistic sales tools, which helped greatly in managing our sales pipeline. The one-to-one sessions allowed us to customise these tools and offered ideal opportunities to get specific advice on sales opportunities and target customers”.

Donal Murphy, Donlouco

"The combination of the "Wendy Kennedy toolkits", Fiona's value proposition, sales sessions, and her undoubted real-world experience ensures that the Genesis participant approaches sales management and CRM in the right manner, exploring all necessary challenges for their business. I have referred to Fiona's class and 121 notes many times over the last 12 months and her advice regarding requirements for sales management resonate strongly. Recently I emailed Fiona on the way to an important distributor meeting in theUKfor advice; she responded within the hour with excellent suggestions."   

Pat O’Leary, Faaltech

“After completing the Genesis programme two years ago we are well on our way to a successful business. A lot of this is down to the great sales advice that Fiona gave to us on the Genesis programme as sales is what drives our business. The great thing for us is that Fiona was not only helpful on the programme, but two years down the line we are still calling her for advice and she remains as helpful as ever. Fiona is a great person to know for any business to succeed”.

Theresa & Richard Butler, Grapevine Communications

"Fiona's training and mentoring was the most critical element of the Genesis programme for me. Her in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with sales and marketing was invaluable to a new start-up like mine. Having come from a technical background, Fiona's training courses in the sales process and her sales clinics were of particular importance to me. She was extremely approachable throughout the entire duration of the Genesis programme and she provided me with excellent mentoring and support".
