We at Citywest Hotel, engaged the services of Pearson Consulting for a 4 month contract, to assist us in the development of our CRM systems and to seek out opportunities to boost our revenue growth in the corporate sector. Alva’s support was so successful that we engaged the services of Pearson Consulting for an additional 4 month period. Alva also provided effective mentoring and training support to individual staff members. Focusing on the development of their sales techniques, strengthening their sales negotiation tactics and outlining the key strategies for developing long-term meaningful client relationships.

In 2019 as the new owners of Ballykealey House, we embarked on an extensive refurbishment of the property and grounds. Our vision is to make Ballykealey an exclusive wedding venue and one of the top locations in the south east. In order to tell our story and communicate this to the general public we engaged the services of Pearson Consulting. Our initial idea was to have a 3-month contract which we quickly extended to 6 months due to the extensive workload that was required. We could not have had a more competent or safe pair of hands to guide us through that start up period. Print media, social, radio, online presence was all taken care of by Alva who went above and beyond her remit. We now have employed a full-time person with a template from Alva that we follow to the letter. I have no hesitation recommending Alva to future clients and have given permission to contact me if needed.

Alva has a genuinely excellent understanding of the foundations of running any business. At Sneem Hotel we initially sought Alva’s input with the team to seek out new ways to increase our conversion and obtain greater sales in both the wedding market and the general leisure market. All team members left Alva’s training sessions motivated and invigorated. Alva provided a fresh approach to how we viewed our business and provided us with numerous great ideas to increase revenue. Following the onsite training, Sneem Hotel has continued to contract Alva on a monthly basis, assisting with the implementation of our sales and marketing strategy alongside our revenue yield management approach. Alva provides a clear and compelling strategy for our business and we see the fundamental benefits of running our revenue yield strategy alongside our sales and marketing initiatives.

Proud to say I recently designed and launched Envirico's new website. Following the launch I was delighted to receive the following testimonial: "We had the pleasure of working with Alva to build our new website envirico.ie, and we are delighted with the result. Alva was quick and efficient, very easy to work with, listened to all of our queries and suggestions and put up with lots of back and forth as we decided on best layouts! I would not hesitate to recommend her for your website build."
