TESTIMONIALS
I hired Nicole as a retail coach and advisor to help me get a more strategic view on my childrens’ footwear in terms of business growth and future product development. After having a free discovery call with Nicole I knew from her wealth of experience in retail she could definitely help me build a solid business strategy. Nicole uses a very collaborative approach and provides templates to help you identify the areas of your business that need improvement even if you didn’t know it! After Nicole’s sessions I feel more confident as a business owner and I have a plan and vision of what I need to do to make my business a success. I’d definitely recommend using Nicole The Buyer Retail Coach.
I worked with Nicole during her time in Primark beauty she had vision and long term strategies built in to her DNA, she accessed product projects, both scope and efficiencies and brought them to reality quickly.
I had the good fortune of working with Nicole for several years and she is a person who stands out to me as a powerhouse of positive energy and resilience.
No challenge is too big for Nicole. She has the unique ability to think strategically and to act tactically and operationally, while always putting her team first.
Nicole has great vision, market understanding and commercial acumen enabling her to identify and act upon opportunities, thereby driving top and bottom line.
She is a collaborative business partner and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again
Nicole worked for me on footwear and then went on to set up the ps beauty brand at Primark. Her passion for product is outstanding, she is always full of new innovative ideas. Nicole is someone you can rely on to get the job done truly inspirational in anything she does .
Nicole is a massive driving force behind me and my brand she has being working with me for the past year and a half on so many different projects.
Her passion, energy, products, knowledge and drive is outstanding she is always full of innovative ideas.
Nicole has taught me so many new skills I am forever grateful for everything she has taught me such great support and an amazing friend.
I can’t recommend Nicole if you want your business to grow look no further her work speaks for itself.
Nicole is thorough, professional, inspired and an absolute pleasure to deal with. In four days she wrapped up a diverse project, organised information in a focused and clear manner.
Communication was swift and to the point but detailed, giving us the tools and concepts to move forward confidently. I look forward to working with her again.
Case studies
“Our Sales increased 18% with Nicoles’ exceptional sourcing expertise and product & design development knowledge. Nicole helped us re focus on our customer and build a range that was right for her”
“We were amazed that we surpassed our sales targets by 30%. We added new homewares products to our range after doing the range building exercise with Nicole. This really identified the gaps in our offer and we turned this into an opportunity.”
“With Nicoles focus on our customer proposition a large wholesale account went from £35K profit to £250K profit in 6 months. She helped us identify more of what that particular customer wanted and how to tailor to that need and emphasise what our brand represented.”
