Clive Mallard talks about his motivation behind setting up The Independents’ Consultant.
Clive has developed an extremely structured, well thought out and effective Coaching Program that he guided me through for a period of 3 months.
During this time, I gained 4 new clients from a standing start with Clive’s guidance which has been absolutely invaluable. His strong Program Management skills have helped me deliver against an often intense workload and his empathy to my challenges has been there throughout. Whilst the foundation of the Program was based around weekly calls, Clive always shows responsiveness to requests for support in between.
As an Independent business owner himself, he understands what it means to transition from an employed senior sales role into the Independent world of self employment.
