"If there's a requirement for a guest speaker, or an entertainment component to our events, Jacqui’s brought in at the very beginning. She'll give us ideas and a list of people but it's never quite as simple as that: people are not available or it's not within our budget and she needs to come back with new ideas. And then it's following through on how the concept's going to work - how it's sustained through an evening or a breakfast...

Working with Jacqui is just great - I was her first client. We recently worked on a project that was really difficult. We're got to the third concept, and the work she's put in - well, you wouldn't get that from a big agency. She's so well connected.

She's just great to work with. She's never dismissed anything that we've done. She's made it work within our limitations. I'm sure she treats me as well as she treats someone with a huge amount of money. We've built a relationship over the years. I love working with her."

"When I first spoke with Jacqui Bridson I was having problems with a speaker bureau that I’d used for years.  I had a fantastic relationship with one particular person and then she left.  I was handed over to someone new and he left and so I was handed to the next person. And then one day Jacqui called.  It was a cold call.  I don’t know where she got my number from. If she’d called me weeks before I wouldn’t have been interested.  But she got me right at the moment when I needed speakers and was frustrated with my bureau... and I was like... "Okay... I don’t know who you are but I’m starting up my own business... I do cold calling too... so I’m going to give you a go..."

And she was brilliant. She is really responsive, she follows up and she really listens.  Jacqui does all those clichéd things that companies say they do but they don’t! She is always full of great ideas and has a fantastic network. She wants whatever you’re doing to be fabulous.  And you really feel that. 

It’s been a great working relationship.  It’s also a great marketing story.  A reminder of the power of being in the right place at the right time. And making that cold call. They’re really hard to make but they can pay off in the end!"
