Client Testimonials
“John created a plan to help me develop my business the way I envisioned.
He showed me how I should be quoting to make a great profit and how to track the progress on each job, so it made the profit I intended. He showed me how to develop my brand and market it, so I attracted the clients I wanted and that has been fantastic in a short amount of time. He also showed me how to present a design proposal and win a greater number of quotes. During a 3 year period I grew my profits and sales by over 500%. I highly recommend John.”
John Corban has helped Harrison’s Landscaping grow into one of Sydney’s leading landscaping companies.
Over the year that John has helped to systemise and generally improve our business it has occurred to me that, just because we were good landscapers and had great customer service, didn’t mean that I had any training in business. Working with John has been my apprenticeship in business and I would highly recommend any business owner passionate about succeeding to do the same. Harrison’s would not be where it is today without John’s help."
