We felt inspired and empowered by Neil's straightforward, no nonsense approach to marketing and all his useful advice, from someone who's been there done that. We are already referring back to his workshop with a quick 'remember what Neil said' so it has definitely sunk in too! Dawn MacDonald, startup entrepreneur
