here's what they have to say

from the people i have worked with first hand

“I loved working with Sophie, In our 6 months working together I’ve had the space to figure stuff out on my own but always know she’s on hand if I need anything. Since working with Sophie I have secured some press coverage/interest from journalists, my email list is slowly growing, I’m almost finished with production and I\’m feeling good about our projected profits/product pipeline. The Commerce Club resources she has provided have also been super valuable.”

“Sophie has been an instrumental part of my businesses growth. She presents carefully researched and planned sales analysis and strategy for my business, which has enabled us to cater more specifically for our target audience and thus improve sales! Sophie’s support will be key to the companies future success and expansion. She is organized, motivated, focused and driven to support us to succeed. 2023 was our most successful year based on the strategy she has put in place. For anyone thinking about working with Sophie, all I can say is do it! She’ll help you work smarter, not harder!” Kate Living

Kate came to me wanting to grow her supplements business, she was already generating £30k months in revenue organically, but she knew to take it to the next level she needed to invest a. people & b. a sales strategy.

Following a business audit, we’ve worked together on an ongoing 1-1 basis to implement a trade structure in her business, tracking her KPIs weekly, setting revenue targets, built a solid sales strategy and the results?

We saw Kates sales have her BIGGEST DAY EVER 1.5x her second best day. Her conversion rate jumped from 9.3% in April 2023 to 14.2% in September 23 & this was all all organic without any paid marketing – we simply implemented my ASTA framework.

“Working with Sophie was fantastic. She is a fountain of knowledge who really helped me with parts of my business I’d been struggling with. She filled me with confidence & a strategy to ensure my success and was very thorough with her follow up feedback. I highly recommend!”

“Sophie has inspired me and encouraged me to dig deeper in my business. Thanks to her, my business is in a much better place with a good foundation and the potential to grow. Sophie has also given me enough material to work through, which will help develop my business further.”

“I started working with Sophie in the early stages of starting my fashion brand. I was building a collection I loved, but I didn't have budgets, cost sheets or a critical path. Sophie gave me amazing guidance and has helped me build solid foundations for a successful launch and opportunity to grow.”

giarite

Founder of Giarite Georgia came to me wanting to launch a new wholesale channel for her business. She was having great success with DTC and a few high profile enquiries about wholesale, but she had no team or resource to support with selling and onboarding new stockists.

I started working with her in her business in November 2022 and built her entire wholesale strategy, set up lookbooks, linesheets, pricing and began selling to and onboarding new retailers.

In the first 10 months of the wholesale channel being set up we generated £178k in wholesale revenue from 13 accounts, getting the brand stocked in leading global retailers including Harvey Nichols, De Bijenkorf, La Samaritaine, DFS Macau, DFS Venice, Fenwicks, HURR (pictured in Selfridges) across EMEIA & APAC markets.

" You could spend years going back and forth about certain things and being unsure, but having an outside perspective look into your business will save you so much time and will get your feet moving forward instead of being stuck. Sophie will provide a lot of clarity, as well as offer insight into things that you never even considered!"

“Without Sophie I wouldn’t have a business” Carlene Phillips

Carlene approached me in June 2020 with the idea for launching a multi-brand childrenswear e-commerce store. She wanted to launch in August 2020, giving us just 8 weeks to come up with a buy strategy, pitch to retailers and get stock in to sell.

I support Carlene with her sales pitch, as being a new business this was super important to get right as her brand was unknown. We also mapped out her budget to make sure we were going to spend her money for stock in the best way, and put together a strategy for pitching to the right brands.

Usually this process would have taken more than 6 months, but given my past experience with buying and contacts within the industry we managed to onboard 15 high profile brands in time for launch including Juicy Couture, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss and more.

“Sophie has been phenomenal in understanding my business and providing wonderful insights in order to develop together and clear and successful strategy for my business to grow. So much knowledge!”

"Sophie provided expert guidance on buying strategies. She was candid about challenges, but provided solutions. She showed a deep knowledge of the industry, helped us focus on how to make the company a success. Money very well spent.”

“Sophie has been helping me from start to finish launch of my business, she has given me a world of knowledge and support as well as a steady timeline to focus on. The progress we’ve made and the strategies we’ve developed have given me a strong sense of confidence in the direction of my brand. Sophie’s insights and guidance have made the process feel smoother. From the financial forecasting to mapping out marketing strategies, Sophie’s support has been invaluable. With Sophie’s expert advice and down-to-earth approach, she’s truly helped manage what seems overwhelming at first, and make smart decisions which will definitely benefit the future of my business. It’s like having a supportive friend who also knows the business inside out! Working with Sophie has shown me the value of having a knowledgeable partner to navigate the complexities of business, and I’m truly glad I took this step with you! Your support this year has been invaluable.” Sophie Charlesworth

Sophie came to me in the early stages of starting her crystal infused lingerie brand. She had the designs for the product, but lacked any strategy to get the business launched.

Over a period of 8 months we worked together to price her products, create a marketing plan, narrow down her target audience, build her email list, create hype for her product and set her foundations.

Enerji London launched in January 2024.

“Sophie’s skills, experience and expertise had a significant impact in Animalia Apparel. Sophie enabled us to build for the current time and the future. Sophie’s attention to detail and guidance has enabled me to learn as a brand owner and enabled the brand to build a solid base to grow from. It’s a pleasure to work with Sophie."

TONY O'NEIL

Animalia Apparel

“Sophie supported me on building a sales strategy for my childrenswear business. I am a creative, so looking at the data was hard for me, but Sopie made it easier. Thanks a lot for the last 3 months. It was very valuable indeed and I really enjoyed working with you and implementing the business strategies we worked on together.”

"Before I started working with Sophie, my business lacked direction. My conversion rate was low, and my marketing strategy was ineffective. Sophie’s suggestions doubled my conversion rate!! Sophie has provided me with valuable skills which I will take forward to grow my business. Anyone who feels overwhelmed shouldwork with Sophie."

Rachael Grieves

Emmy & Sebby

"Sophie's advice helped us bring our Eco-Cup product to market. She provided us with a thorough understanding of the industry, who to target and how to approach potential buyers. She offers a high standard, and provided lots of brilliant information which we'll use to take our business to the next level. Highly recommend Sophie for retail support!"

Emanuel Andjelic

Mr Bamboo Cup

“We had the business idea, the product, the designers, the plan, the deck… the business was pretty well developed. Still, there was a significant gap of knowledge, let’s call our company doughnut-shaped, and Sophie filled the hole in our doughnut with retail expertise that we just didn’t have. Setting up and launching a product-based business on your own is daunting and occasionally overwhelming. Having Sophie there as a knowledgeable, cheerful, friendly ear has been invaluable. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have someone experienced to bounce off, encourage you, or help you change tactics when something isn’t working. The benefits are immeasurable. Mentally, it makes you feel supported and stronger.”
