I engaged Jacques late in 2014 to help me build my bespoke children's teepee and play tent business. Up until I met him, I had sold a mere four tents in a year. He crafted and implemented a marketing strategy for me. In 2015 I sold 60+ teepees and play tents. And, from 2017 to date, I consistently sell 150+ teepees and play tents a year. I have even had orders from Botswana, Dubai, France, Italy, Lesotho, UK, USA, Mauritius and Zambia.
I now employ four staff members to assist in sewing and delivery of our teepees.
If you want someone who really understands marketing and sales, consider reaching out to Jacques.

He brings an incredible amount of common sense and intuition so that he can help individuals and teams shine a light on their challenges and the solutions available to them. Because he possesses a deep understanding of both human nature and the sales and marketing world, Jacques is a true asset to anyone looking to transform how they engage with their audience, authentically.
Kirsty CoetzeeCopywriter
I enjoyed working with Jacques on the copy for a sales landing page. His ideas are fresh, his communication is clear, he is highly responsive and he delivers an excellent product. I would gladly recommend Jacques for copywriting based on his creativity, reliability and strength of communication.

Jacques's superb writing ability and human insight are particularly evident in his LinkedIn profile offering. He is my go-to resource for my coaching clients when we need to raise the bar on their profiles as part of their personal brand development and promotion. A pleasure to work with and has great energy.
Dawn KlatzkoBrand Builder Coach
Wordsmith, and soulful business sage who has a no nonsense approach to making rain for others. Jacque pushes, and polishes me, with a nurturing spirit that brings out the best in my work. Long may our association last!
Costa CarastavrakisProfessional Speaker and Humourist
I engaged with Jacques to write my LinkedIn profile in 2021. He did a masterful job and created a real work of art. And, little did I know, but our journey would continue. He has served as a sounding board and coach over the last year and a half and it has been a significant journey of discovery for me. He has a unique way of looking at the world and that translates to him helping clients like me find clarity, security and fulfilment. He is a marketing and writing savant and great ideas flow out of him like water. If I just implemented a fraction of what he has taught me ... well, I'd be sitting on a yacht somewhere exotic with my family. Go to him, you'll never be the same again.
Stephan LouwAccountant
Jacques helped me to compile a sales presentation for a big corporate from scratch.
He asked the right questions to determine my needs as well as the needs of the client.
Put together a professional presentation.
I've made the sale.
Thanks, Jacques.
