John's Clients Become His Advocates
When John works for a client he puts his passion into their business development. Clients respond by taking John into their confidence, and often into their family, as they understand his commitment to their future success. The following are comments from some of John's clients.
"After seeing lots of Johns work on the NAFDMA Wisconsin tour I decided too see if he was visiting the UK. Within one month John had visited our shop and after a brief discussion I was convinced he would be an investment for our up and coming extension. We booked John for the full day and after a lot of head banging we came up with a plan to triple the size of our store and put in a coffee shop.
I can honestly say without Johns input we would have wasted thousands, he totally changed the layout and the entrance points. We have now built the new store, customer flow is excellent and we have hit the ground running, in our first month we are 40 percent up on last year ( in the height of a recession). Whilst John let us keep our own ideas and expectations for the shop he was very instrumental in the smooth transition for the business and the customers and I can definitely say John and his team have been a great investment to our business. PS we are still at least 40 percent up on last year.”
Rob and Heather Copley, Copley's Farm Market "Best Farm Market Award" 2007/08/10
"I employed John Stanley as a consultant to work with my team on developing the overall appearance of the store.
As a result of John's input and advice, within six months we achieved a growth that far exceeded our expectations. On a busy day we are achieving a turnover which is equivalent to one weeks turnover prior to us taking over the store."
Pierre Sequeira, IGA Supermarket, Como, Western Australia
“John’s visit was absolutely invaluable! He said he would come back and visit us in November and we are really looking forward to showing him what we’ve done. We have had a few stops and starts because we have to concentrate on the business, so when our store isn’t so busy and/or we have some spare time we action John’s suggestions. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John to any retailer needing help. His friendly manner, his ability to explain without offending and to give praise where its due are brilliant assets for individuals trying to develop their business.”
Delwyn Dellow, Body Indulgence, New Zealand
"From the point of not knowing John Stanley, he gave us our faith back again, gave us the power to make the changes that we wanted to do for a long time. We learned more from the one day workshop and the one day consultancy than we learned the last ten years going to garden centres in Europe and exhibitions. We would like to have a continuous relationship, to learn more."
Attila Nagy, Parti Kerteszet, Sombathely, Hungary, October 2010
"Dear Linda and John, The speech was excellent, very useful and it makes profit for us if we find the way of realisation. We are sure to invite you again to Hungary, specially to Oázis, to train our team. I have already registered to Johns members site page, now I am reading the articles and I will order the newsletter too. Thank you again for growing our business!"
