Leyla entered my life at the perfect time – I was in the early phase of building a strategy to launch my business, and in mere minutes, Leyla quickly put her finger on the pulse of my business and provided laser-sharp, relevant advice. With her bright personality, intelligence, warm manner, and years of experience, there’s no question in my mind who I turn to for strategic business advice that saves me money and hardship – Leyla also makes great videos and social media content that are inspiring and fun to follow as well! I hope to work with her much more in the future as my business strategy comes together. Thanks, Leyla!

Leyla really helped to zero in on key areas where I have been feeling stuck and uncertain about how to proceed. She helped me develop strategies for pricing and costs, website and social media, and a marketing plan to reach households and businesses interested in sustainability. Now that  I feel confident about the next steps I need to take to grow my business.

Working with Leyla has been a great experience. She’s a super positive person and is genuinely interested in helping people, which is reflected in the care and attention she gives during our sessions. Leyla brings extensive practical experience and knowledge of product sales and understands how to apply it to develop business strategies that work for online platforms. Because she understands human behaviour, she can filter through many of the issues to get to the essentials, saving time and effort.

I worked with Leyla to increase efficiency in my proposal process. Leyla was great to work with and was able to take an objective view and draw on her experience to help me create a great new process for dealing with prospective clients, which reduced the time it took me to create proposals by almost 50%.

I loved how Leyla brought insights from a wide range of industries into the conversation to ensure I was making the right choice for my business.

Thanks Leyla!

My only regret about working with Leyla is that we didn’t do it sooner. She brings to the table a depth and breadth of knowledge about an industry that can otherwise feel overwhelming and impenetrable. I appreciated how much time and care she took to ask us the right questions, understand our products and pricing, our business model and our goals. She was incredibly attentive to our individual circumstances, and the advice and insights she shared were therefore perfectly tailored to us and our needs.
