I'm an owner of Visually Explained Ltd, social media service provider. Over the last 5 years I've collected a great number of business cards and contacts and was endlessly looking for a simple solution to get those contacts into a database that would allow me to follow a sales process and stay in touch with my prospects, leads and clients. Andrew introduced me into a FREE CRM (Customer Relationship Management system), then integrated it with my e-mail and my website. He provided me with training and showed me how to quickly add business cards into the database. I now have working, current and relevant database that is GDPR compliant. With minimal effort and time, I created and published my first newsletter (first one in 5 years). All my prospects now get added automatically into my CRM where I can make notes on how we met. I also maintain my current leads and deals - all in one place.My sales process has never been so organised and under control. There are a lot of expensive and complicated business solutions on the market. To find what's work takes too much time away from the business, so to come across a hands-on Business Consultancy Company who can talk business strategy at the same time as implementing real and positive change to my business has proved a real advantage. I would thoroughly recommend Andrew Hatcher from Swindon Consultants. - Yola O'Hara MD, Visually Explained Ltd More...

What makes a great website?
A great website excels in user-friendliness, visual appeal, and search engine optimisation. It effectively communicates your brand's message, offers easy navigation, and ensures a seamless user experience across various devices. Key to its success is the integration of compelling Calls to Action (CTAs) that guide visitors towards desired actions, whether it's subscribing to a newsletter, making a purchase, or booking a consultation. Additionally, a great website is designed for conversion optimization, encouraging visitors to engage more deeply with your content and services. It's also integrated with a CRM system to efficiently capture visitor details, enabling personalized follow-ups and nurturing leads into loyal customers.

What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When starting a new project, I typically ask about the client's business goals, target audience, and desired outcomes. Questions may include: What are your key objectives? Who is your target audience? What challenges are you facing? What has worked or not worked in the past? Understanding these aspects helps tailor our approach to meet your specific needs effectively.
What do you love most about your job?
I'm passionate about delving into the 'why' behind business challenges and helping clients find real solutions. I enjoy meeting diverse individuals, understanding their unique situations, and working together to achieve their goals. Witnessing the positive impact of our collaboration on businesses and communities is incredibly rewarding. I thrive on variety, challenges, and the opportunity to support those who feel overwhelmed in their roles.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My inspiration stemmed from my extensive experience in managing a family SME for over two decades. I learned every facet of running a business and wanted to use this knowledge to help others avoid costly mistakes and fast-track their growth. My drive is to make a tangible, positive impact on small businesses, helping them achieve their dreams and thrive.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me for my unique blend of creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to always going above and beyond. My approach is rooted in empathetic listening and emotional intelligence, paired with practical, insightful advice. With a rich background in managing a successful SME, I bring a deep understanding of the nuanced challenges and triumphs in business.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I offer services online and remotely, primarily via Zoom. During the pandemic, I founded The Cobra Club, an online digital business centre where business owners can connect, share, learn, and conduct business. All remote services are facilitated through this innovative platform, ensuring a seamless and interactive experience.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
To ensure customer safety during the Covid-19 pandemic, I transitioned all meetings and consultations to online platforms, primarily using Zoom. This shift not only maintained safety but also offered clients the flexibility and convenience of remote services. Additionally, I continuously monitor and adhere to the latest health guidelines to ensure ongoing safety for all clients.
