Mark keeps things simple by breaking down the process into manageable steps. He taught me that outbound messages aren't just about selling; they're about offering value.

Mark recently delivered a useful workshop to our portfolio companies about how to navigate the recent changes to cold email. The session was very well received and founders commented on the good balance of strategic and tactical advice. If you're looking to bring in an expert who can shorten the learning curve, I recommend speaking with Mark. Some of our portfolio companies have subsequently engaged Mark to advise on their email campaigns.
I introduced Mark to one of my clients to help them build out the strategy and messaging of a new outbound sequence in HubSpot. Mark helped them improve their approach to prospecting which has impacted their entire approach to Sales and Marketing. The early results speak for themselves, with some promising sales meetings booked from one campaign already and the team having the skills and confidence they need to replicate these results in the future.
Mark is among the 2-3 smartest people I know. He is not just extremely knowledgable in the domain of building an agency and selling agency services. He is also a sharp business mentor overall. He helped me tremendously by making the complex simple, reality checking me and providing ideas and solutions to cover my weaknesses. His help had actual ROI. I cannot recommend him enough. This testimonial is 100% my opinion and I had no side benefit to provide it.
Mark recently delivered a couple of workshops to the GYDA community. Covering a range of new business development topics for agency leaders, the feedback has been great and has received the highest feedback rating for external speakers we received to date. Mark delivered fantastic content - no-fluff advice, filled with actionable insight (rather than vague theory) which they were able to implement straight away. We'll be inviting Mark back for workshops and events in the future.
We worked with Mark to help us improve our outbound campaigns. We felt that whilst we had a solid offer and service, we weren't sure how to approach our ideal customer with the right message. Mark trained our team on how to approach prospecting in general and also how to write emails that get replies. He also helped us understand how we should build our outbound campaigns to ensure they land in the inbox. We've already generated more replies and meetings than our previous campaigns and we're working with Mark to further improve these results.
I just ended a conference call with Mark, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the conversation and his abilities. The call was excellent in every sense of the word, as he was warm-hearted and insightful throughout the entire discussion. What impressed me the most was his ability to listen actively and understand my business’s unique needs and challenges. He provided some excellent ideas and directions that were helpful in addressing the issues at hand. Mark’s excellent ideas and directions have undoubtedly set me on the path to success, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to work with him. Thank you.
I originally reached out to Mark because I needed a bit of help understanding how I should build my agency moving forward. Mark was great to talk to because he gave a lot of perspective and guidance based on having been there and done that, which I found very different from the other people that I was talking to because they weren't quite able to guide me in the right direction based on their experience. Mark also provided quite a few actionable steps moving forward. So I left the session knowing exactly what I needed to do and had a very clear vision for the future. So that was super helpful. Many thanks, Mark, and I definitely recommend it.
Mark designed and delivered several Bootcamps for my private training academy for ecommerce agencies - Ecommerce Agency Growth. I specifically requested that each workshop was actionable to enable attendees to implement the recommendations, rather than absorb lots of theory without any output. Many bootcamp attendees and agency owners have been in touch since the bootcamp to express how valuable the insights were. The feedback has been positive with 5/5 and some agencies opting to work directly with Mark to tailor the recommendations to their agency. Mark's teaching style adapts to the level of the attendees and is able to share real-life examples and experiences making it extremely valuable for agencies who are struggling with their outbound sales practice
