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 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.
