"Over the last 12 months, what I have learned in the mentor program has helped me secure at least $450,000 worth of business. The skills have helped me enormously and the support from Wayne Berry and Wendy and other Mentor members like David Taylor has meant that I have never had to go into a client meeting alone. It's like having a virtual support team with me at every meeting."

I also provide credit information and advice to clients to assist in the management of their receivables ledger, through risk management & collections."

"Since joining the Mentor program I have worked with my mentor team to implemented Wayne's "10 steps for success". I now actually set "SMART" goals and have plans for achieving business growth. During 2004 I have achieved 122% of my revenue quota . This consists of booked forward revenue and a 7 digit pipeline figure. For me the mentor program took the guess work out of planning and goal setting, added some basic disciplines and honed key skill sets, Sales is about meeting number targets from revenue to activity and Top Gun has reframed what is important , what's critical and what is tyre kicking. My business activities include selling Preceda People, Australia's premier Payroll and HRIS solution made by Neller and providing Electronic Document Management Solutions with a scanning bureau service."
