Practical and helpful

About a one-hour interactive talk designed to help PPP franchisees write better Spareroom ads (customised for five UK regions so far and being reproduced as a series of videos for their intranet):

“Thank you very much for attending our meeting yesterday. I have had some lovely comments from our guys about your practical and helpful session.”
Simon Whelan, Platinum Property Partners, Midlands

“Thanks for a great interactive session yesterday; I’m sure the partners got a lot out of it. I certainly did, as I changed one of my Spareroom ads this afternoon using your tips, and 2 minutes later someone called me for a room viewing!”
David Brant, Platinum Property Partners, London
(The other ad was up for 1 week with 1 enquiry. I’ll see how many enquiries this one gets after 1 week.)

“I thought Jackie Barrie’s session on copywriting was awesome and possibly one of the best things I have attended at PPP in recent times. On the basis that we are more challenged with the rental market, I felt it really gave us some more bullets to fire.”
Dion, Platinum Property Partners, London

“Thank you very much for a super presentation yesterday.  The highlight of our day, with so much interesting content and learning.”
Richard Lloyd, Platinum Property Partners, Bristol

300% increase

After my recent talk about speaker websites:

“I always value your advice, Jackie. From your last presentation, a (relatively) simple change to Henry’s website has just increased our incoming speaking enquiries by 300%.”

“Highly recommended”

“Jackie gave an excellent, practical and engaging talk to the Professional Speaking Association in London. Anyone booking her as a speaker for their event will find exactly what we did – their delegates will leave the room with waffle-free, concrete actions they can take to improve their literature the following day. Highly recommended.”

“Thank you so much for your insights today – I found them so relevant and completely implementable!  So much so, I managed to tick some of them off on the train home.”

Ooh look, I’m a doodle!

This week, I was guest speaker at the first virtual meeting of the Professional Speakers’ Association Southern Africa (PSASA). I did a top ten rundown of the most common mistakes speakers make on their websites.

Each point was captured by a professional doodler.

Here are some of the attendee comments:

“Thank you for an awesome session. I thought it was very informative and so many pearls of wisdom in a short space of time.”
Dr Rowan van Dyk

Insightful, professional and entertaining

“Jackie led an impressive session last week helping business owners think about their core message to potential customers.

Feeding back to the audience what she had gleaned from networking and introductions, Jackie provided a combination of insightful feedback and high-quality ideas for improvement in a professional and entertaining way. Very good indeed!”

Martin Munro, The Alternative Board

“Thanks for all your advice during your talk. I have been working on my first blog and lots of social media stuff. I have tried to put in lots of things that you mentioned. This is all very new to me. Thanks again, all the information you gave that night is being put into use.”

Liam McGinley, Carpenter

“Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your talk this evening. It really was without waffle! Your presentation was interesting, humorous & helpful so I do hope we will see you again. Thank you so much.”

Janice O’Neill, Celebrant

Standing ovation

“I had the absolute pleasure of attending one of Jackie’s talks this week.

Jackie’s presentation was highly informative and engaging.

The whole audience joined in with the interactive parts and it really made everyone in the room think about their own business messages.

Jackie bubbles with ideas and we all left on a high, motivated to ‘write without waffle’ in our own content.

Jackie got the standing ovation she deserved! 🙂

P.S. A true professional who was a dream to photograph too!”

Jo Hailey

“Delivered brilliance”

“I booked Jackie to speak at my business event in St Albans.

Jackie is brilliant at what she does, and in communicating about her knowledge so that other people “get” it too.

The event was for business owners, and I’m already receiving feedback on how Jackie’s talk immediately impacted the way they market themselves.

The topic was creating compelling taglines, new taglines were created on the evening by Jackie and will be delivering business results in the short and long term.

I have no hesitation in heartily recommending Jackie to speak at any business event.

As one of our delegates said “It was easy to understand what Jackie was talking about, she just delivered brilliance in a very calm approachable manner which made sense.”

Thank you Jackie!”
