Testimonials

I met Donald Robichaud of Floodlight Consulting approximately 5 months ago, and discussed with him my frustrations with my website and internet presence.

My Kelowna business, Floral Designs by Lee, was not being found on the internet at all and I had no idea how to make that happen.I had paid for a website but I was not being located, and I was not receiving any calls for orders.

After hiring FloodLight in early January they were able to get me to the front page of Google for Valentine’s Day Feb 14. I received orders from across Canada and even New Zealand!

FloodLight Consulting has helped to raise my profile on the internet and re-work my website. Donald is very knowledgeable and is able to put things in layman’s terms so I understand what he’s doing.His rates are affordable and I have already made back my investment.

Every week I receive three to four calls that are attributed to my internet presence.If you are struggling with your website and not being found I would definitely recommend Donald Robichaud of FloodLight Consulting.

I am so grateful to Donald Robichaud and without his services I would not be where I am today.

I started working with Floodlight Consulting at the beginning of 2008 after being recommended by a business partner Ken Kunka of Flywheel Building Solutions. I knew I needed some help in a few areas of my business so I engaged with Floodlight.
Floodlight has proven to be a big asset to my company by helping my business relate and speak to my clientele. Donald Robichaud and I get together on a regular basis as I continue to mould my vision for TLC Energy Solutions.
My business gets easier day by day as I set the path for success with the help of Floodlight Consulting. I have more confidence and my weakness have become my strengths.

It dawned on me today that after every one of our meetings I stand up, out of my office chair and do a Tiger Woods style fist pump. Sounds silly but I do this because at the end of our meetings i feel a real sense of accomplishment and progress with TLC Energy Solutions.

Thanks again for all your Help!

After 11 years in the financial industry I knew what I needed to do to grow my business … I just didn’t know where to begin.

What Floodlight Consulting helped me do was to bring an objective eye to branding my business, devise a marketing plan and hold me accountable to results I achieve.

Being in the financial business we talk a lot about why investing is so important to creating a better life.

Dealing with Floodlight Consulting is great investment in creating a better business.

When I started working with FloodLight Consulting in 2007 my website contained only basic contact information and a brief description of my services.

With Don's help I was able to clarify my services and create a website that truly reflects my business in an easy to navigate and professional manner. His input was instrumental in the initial design and layout.

Now I have a website that is clear, concise, professional and an excellent marketing tool!

Liquid Capital Solutions Okanagan is a “Factoring” business that offers financial support to small and medium size businesses based on their Accounts Receivables.

It is a time honoured way to sustain cash flow without incurring further dept. It has been practiced extensively in the major centers with large accounts.

However, I have opened an office in Kelowna to service the Okanagan Valley. I had 29 years experience in sales as a Technical Sales Representative for an International Chemical Distribution Company, Univar Canada.

Being with a large corporation, I had a built in marketing plan, with web sites, mail outs, catalogues, brochures, and a support staff to maintain it. I thought I knew it all about sales.

I soon discovered that I needed a lot of help to start a one man office and to develop a plan to gain business. Fortunately, I was referred to Donald Robichaud at Floodlight Consulting.

Donald’s savvy about business marketing touch points and his knowledge of the Kelowna marketplace has been invaluable.

Even though we have covered a lot of topics such as developing websites, blog spots, elevator pitch and newsletters, I have not felt overwhelmed.

Donald’s approach of one hour weekly sessions (with homework) keeps me going forward, but at a comfortable pace.

We have come a long way in four months and from my experience, I would highly recommend Don and Floodlight as a business coach and mentor.

I would like to thank Donald Robichaud of FloodLight Consulting.

There is no other Marketing and Branding coach like him in the Okanagan valley with his knowledge and web expertise.

There are many coaches but very few who have practical experience that can be taught easily without coming from a “Franchise Coach in a box system”.

His abilities make him stand out at the top. With his hands on approach he will help you get from Dreaming to Doing.
