Just had a call from a store on my wishlist. The owner said my catalogue was the best he's seen in a long time. Clare made a real difference for me.

Clare's classes are very real-life. I now understand why my products perform better in some stores than others. It's had a huge impact on my strategy.

You make wholesale actionable and understandable. Having a real retailer tell me what they expect is so confidence-boosting.
