A Passion for People,
A Passion for Business

Nicola is an outstanding speaker and expert in her field. She understood exactly what we asked for and tailored her presentation accordingly. She engaged the entire audience with her infectious energy and her keynote contained the perfect mix of key messages and humour. I would highly recommend Nicola as a speaker for your next sales drive or marketing conference, she will deliver. One of the best speakers we’ve had.

Nicola Cook, from Company Shortcuts, was our guest speaker at our recent monthly Vistage meeting. As a Commercial Director, responsible for all aspects of the sales and marketing culture ranging from FTSE 100 to PE backed more entrepreneurial environments, I can say with some certainty that this was the best sales guest speaker I have encountered. In fact, Nicola ranks in my top 3 of all Vistage speakers that I have benefited from in the past 2 years of my membership, praise indeed. Nicola delivers with a wealth of experience, in a totally engaging style, adding real value through positioning sales models, coupled with a refreshing balance of practical insights, tips and refreshingly generous complimentary resources. This lady is very well positioned to kick start accelerating and sustaining sales growth across all sectors and is totally on message with all current thinking and in getting ahead of the curve in anticipating new trends and sales innovation.

As you know I’ve recommended you for some time, but until this week, I had never seen you deliver and I was anxiously excited. I wanted to write to you and share my experience, it was amazing! You are amazing! Hearing the feedback from my client, the Chief Executive of the Officers Club and his most senior team was a very special thing for me. Thank you, you are so talented and I appreciate you very much.

I would have to pick out the sales session by Nicola Cook for special praise (no she hasn’t paid me off and I had never met her previously) as I thought her session was great. She shared some great information and advice that we could integrate directly into our day to day business. I think sometimes you get to listen to great speakers but as an MD of a growth business, you can walk away unsure how to implement their advice. The advice from Nicola’s session has directly helped us break our closed sales records in the 4 weeks hence as well as helped improve performance across the board.

WOW, what a massive kick up the b*m. Literally energized me into taking our business to another level.

We found Nicola to be very down to earth, this suited our audience perfectly. Nicola engaged our audience immediately through her energetic delivery style and was able to break down the concepts she covered into chunks that could be easily absorbed. The feedback we received on Nicola’s session was extremely positive. 92.5% scored Nicola as an excellent speaker. We highly recommend Nicola as an event speaker.

The event was a roaring success and met all of the objectives that we set. It provided the right mix of support and challenge for both individuals and also the group as a whole. I know that a number of people moved out of their comfort zones and stepped up to the challenges that you set.

When it comes to sorting out your sales strategy Nicola Cook is the real deal; seriously knowledgeable, massively experienced, high energy, clear, generous, engaging and fun. She’ll relate immediately to your delegates, their business issues and, with laser focus, show you where to put effort into your Sales Engine for the best possible return. Book her.

Listening to you speak re-enforced my beliefs towards women in business and helped me accept that having a business that is part of who I am & is not a negative. Quite the contrary! Thank you for the inspiration!
