our businesses and those of our customers really fly. At AVN Picktree we are

Tenon
Group (100 Partners, David Gill, Kirkcaldy)
"Many
of us have been there, done it and are perhaps are getting a bit stale.
Although developing your practice is a never-ending process, it is easy to
become complacent no matter how successful you have been in the past.
I have been saying for some time that I needed another Bootcamp transfusion -
now I have received it.
The bonus is Feisal's drive, enthusiasm, passion and integrity. If you didn't
believe it before, believe it now...”
AC Solutions (Managing Director, A Chutton, Surrey)
"I wish I had joined the PROBIZ concept years ago! It is an excellent network that has helped me learn so much about building a profitable business. My turnover increased by 141% since joining PROBIZ...I budgeted for just a 10% increase! I was taught how best to market and sell myself better...the PROBIZ way clearly works....I guess any of their members would say this..."
Broadhead Cawley Partnership (2-Parner firm, Ian Richardson, Batley, Yorkshire)
“I have been in the profession for more than 30 years. After 20 years with the big boys, I decided in a fit of entrepreneurial seizure, to enter the field of the small to medium sized practitioner. It did not take me long to be convinced that Business Development (BD) just has to be the driver to our practice. Get BD work done properly and every other aspect of our business prospers - as does our reputation in the market place. I wish that I had invented PROBIZ! PROBIZ is providing the support, which we need and appreciate to move forwards with confidence towards achieving our dreams”.

Keen (Managing Partner of an 8-Partner firm, Ray Osborne, Southend, Essex)

I was sceptical having failed under other accountants’ networks. Thank you PROBIZ for showing us the way..."
Adrian Adams (Sole-Practitioner, Russell Bowyer, Saffron Walden, Essex)

As a result I won a few Business Development projects....one paying me £72k of fees! What else can I say apart from 'Thank you PROBIZ' for giving me new direction....I now have the life I want to live..."
Joy Lane & Co (Sole-Practitioner, Tim Stockley, Dorchester, Dorset)
"In just 1 month of joining PROBIZ I won my first Business Development Project. It is not easy work...but having Feisal and his team there to support us is so comforting. I am so pleased that as an accountant I now know how to get my hands dirty and get involved in my client operations....... this is exactly what they need from me as their accountant."

Countdown (2 Partners, Iain
Murray, Glasgow)
"Dear
Feisal, I write to you for your excellent assistance in implementing our
business development systems and resources, and for your continued ongoing
support with our networking initiatives. Whilst Jim and I knew what we
wanted to achieve with our firm, we could not have got to the level of
training, or indeed the selection of clients of the right sort so quickly
without you. I would have no hesitation in recommending PROBIZ to other
accountancy practices..."

SHO
CA (Sole-Practitioner, John Steel, Malmesbury)
I am pleased to accept your kind invitation. Had my
circumstances been different you can be sure that I would have been with you
from the outset. I look forward to speaking with you very soon to discuss my
choices of area and of service package. I may need some serious hand holding
over the next few months. I am also planning a visit to a good potential new
client next Wednesday and it would be good to be armed with the Business Health
Check tool…The event you put on was excellent!
Brodericks (Sole-Practitioner, Mike Broderick, York)
Congratulations on a great day yesterday. It went very well, I thought, it was most enjoyable - both the "pinks" and the "passion"! There was a lot of meat, and I would certainly appreciate being able to use a great deal of the detail for my own study, use as an aide-memoir, and for team training. Congratulations at the number of applications to join PROBIZ- I'd have been "gobsmacked" if that was not the case, but also on your determination to be selective - although I do not envy the task! Thanks because you accepted me as a small sole practitioner as a member. That has meant SO much to me - I only wish I was 20 years younger
Adrian Adams (Sole-Practitioner, Russell Bowyer, Saffron Walden)
"When I signed up with PROBIZ I was looking to
set up a client club/meeting forum to promote business development type work
and this is one of the first things that PROBIZ and I did together. I was amazed
at the response I got and to have over 70 business people in a room listening
to what I had to say at my first PNI event was so rewarding,
especially as I was originally looking to get around 10-12 people
together. I had NatWest bank sponsor the event together with my financial
adviser and they each brought clients along on the day.
It got even better than that, one client who attended the event, signed
up to a contract for business development work worth £72,000!! But that was not
the only additional work I got from the event, for example, a non-client who
attended the event at the request of my financial adviser is now a paying
client for compliance work of over £4,000 per annum. This same client is in
talks with me at present about business development work for a figure of around
£850-£1000 per month. These are all from just one event!
The best thing of all is that the above is not
difficult to achieve if you follow the step by step guides provided by
PROBIZ."
MacArthur McNichol (Sole-Practitioner, Murray
McNichol, Glasgow)
"The
alliance of PROBIZ, Principa and the client-focussed accountant will create a
