“I employed Lesleys services as a media expert (which she certainly is) to develop my understanding of LinkedIn and the other associated media. Her attitude and knowledge are pretty impressive – so much so that after getting an email about an opportunity to attend a recent event at Bradford FC saying she was speaking there (they did not know her) I tendered my apologies due a conflict in dates but without hesitation and without asking told them they would not be disappointed – neither were they (and this is the first time when LA reads this that she knows I have done that!! ) Our business relationship has developed into a degree in reciprocity where I have provided advice about her business planning and organisation and she continues to educate me. A funny thing recommendations – they are either penned to shut some-one up to say they have written some text as requested or, as in this case, portray the business and personable image of a person who knows what she is going and good to work with – if you want to work with a lass like that – go grab her!

“Lesley has a passion for social media “excellence”.. I have met, and spoken to, Lesley on a number of occasions, and have learnt a huge amount about the impact and advantages of social media…. This advice has lead me to review my strategy, which in turn, has lead to business from this area that I didn’t think was possible, and indeed I wouldn’t have got if I hadn’t listened to her… My advice to anyone would be, to (at the very least) speak to Lesley and find out “how to do it correctly”!!”

“I thought I was pretty much clued up about online networking, however a client recently asked me to update Twitter and I just did not get the concept and thought it was pointless. Until, that is, I met Lesley Aveyard. Wow not only have I now got a Twitter Deck, I understand the rules about using such sites, the reason behind them and how to establish long term relationships. I am in the process of updating FaceBook to a business page, updating my profile on LinkedIn and so much more. Lesley really knows her stuff, is an excellent trainer and feels passionate about her work. I cannot believe I have met someone who has excited me about the internet. Thank you very much Lesley. I have already recommended her to business colleagues and believe she is in the process of setting up a workshop in Halifax shortly.”
