2.10 pm – 2.50 pm Clarity – Confidence – Credibility
by Bridget Long, Capital Consulting Inc Ltd
My name is Bridget Long; I have been a business owner for almost 4
decades, having experienced both successes and challenges along
the way!
For over 20 years, I had a luxury high-end fashion business in Paris,
and then moved to consult in 2010. I currently have two companies,
one, which specialises in online sales and has generated over £10m in
revenue in the past four years, and I work with both online and offline
business owners to help them grow their bottom line and scale. As
business owners, both great and small, start-up or seasoned, the ebb
and flow of life demands continual reassessment, adjustment, and
growth.
I will be sharing some thoughts about the basic principles, which are
the foundation stones of success, be clear about what you want, build
confidence and belief that your goal is possible and the daily
disciplines which serve to build credibility, loyalty and trust with your
audience.

3.50 pm – 4.05 pm New Unique Styling Tool for Consultants
By Fiona Mobbs, Your Colour & Style
Fiona Mobbs has created a box of 31 motivational “Confidence With
Colour & Style” cards for stylists to sell to their clients. (There are 31
cards in each box as one for every day of a month.)
There are lots of ways a Consultant can use them, but the three particular initial opportunities are:
1) Profit from sales.
2) They give another touch-point for you with your client.
3) They are designed to drive your client back to you for more of your
services because it gives them information about what further
things you can help with.
