Testimonials

We’ve recently implemented a key business strategy that focusses on retaining and generating new sales within SMEs. When considering a subject matter expert to help support the delivery of our new project, we immediately chose Phil, based on a previous collaboration, and the high regard in which we hold Phil as a result of this and the many other times where he has been on hand to offer insight, whenever we have needed it.

Phil’s expertise and experience is outstanding, and this was invaluable in helping to develop a small but perfectly formed, (a bit like Phil!), team of ‘Ninjas’ from within our existing Customer Service team. With Phil’s support, in particular the learning resources he created, and a seemingly endless amount of enthusiasm and time, we have developed proactive and confident people, who are now far more aware of the individual needs of customers, the power of content as a marketing tool, as well as theories such as the law of reciprocation and social proof.

Everything that Phil has coached our Ninjas on, is transferrable into the rest of the Customer Service team, which is an exciting prospect in an ever competitive marketplace where service and customer feedback are key. The theories are simple but easily overlooked, however with Phil’s expertise in stripping things back, we are observing some real mindset shifts and this is already evident in new sales and the recognition our new team has achieved.

Most importantly, Phil is a great guy. A real people person who ‘gets’ the reality of business but keeps it ‘real’ with the help of a unique and highly infectious sense of humour! Our mantra towards SMEs is ‘We care’ and this is something Phil lives and breathes too. Thanks for all your help Phil!

Reaching out to Phil Crowshaw to help support and guide us in one of our more recent projects could not have been easier. Having worked with Phil on a different project a number of years back, there was only one person we could think of who would have the necessary subject matter knowledge, drive and motivational know-how to help us get this off the ground and into a sustainable position.

Easy to deal with, fully engaged, thought provoking are just a few words that describe the style Phil and the Geeky Group bring to the table. That’s not to forget the sheer energy and enthusiasm Phil brings to every meeting, workshop and presentation. A real pleasure to work with, enriched only by how quickly The Geeky Group soon becomes part of the organisation and not just another consultant. Thanks for all your continued support Phil.

“We recently used Phil & Geeky Group for an interactive workshop to 25 high growth start-up businesses and was really impressed by the session. Not only was it very engaging and all our clients seemed actively involved but it also was a very good learning curve for us when it comes to content marketing. Looking to forward to working with Phil & Geeky Group again in the very near future”.

``For such a short bloke, Phil has a massive amount of knowledge, experience and fascinating insights. But seriously, he’s travelled the world, written books and made videos about it, and his expertise is obvious as soon as you start chatting to him.

It’s like sharing a pint with an old friend at the pub, but you leave the session feeling pumped and passionate, as Phil makes you think about everything that’s possible and lights a fire underneath you. He knows exactly what success means, but more importantly he’ll be there alongside you to help you get to it, pinpointing your strengths, focusing your talents and generally just giving you a kick up the arse when you need it``

Phil Crowshaw from Geeky Group presented an entertaining, comprehensive and knowledgeable review of the Digital Media Revolution to our network group of independent business consultants in the North West. Phil was able to illustrate the massive changes that have taken place over the past 10 years including the growth of data volume, reduction in cost, business model changes (e.g. Uber, AirBnB), speed of communication and the growing importance of video, particularly in social media.

He explained how it was necessary to think like a publisher and ensure the content of your marketing is either compelling, educational, humorous, inspirational, controversial or thought-provoking. Phil is clearly on top of his game and is a very inspirational speaker.

Phil’s workshop session was well researched, thought provoking and entertaining. His delivery style is relaxed and engaging with plenty of interaction with the delegates and seemingly never phased by comments coming from left field. The time went in a flash and I was left with a list of immediately actionable ideas - superb.

‘ Phil at Geeky Group ran a workshop for our team focussing on the different ways our business can use modern day marketing strategies and tactics to grow.
