Saul Edmonds - Creative Director Roundhouse

Vicki Sparks is an innovator in the true sense of the word when it comes to connecting businesses. Her expertise has proven invaluable in the introductions and businesses we have already met through connectworking.

Vicki’s earnest, friendly approach is contagious and not only sets a mood at connectworking events but places a new benchmark for what business networking can truly be.

Sonya Yeh Spencer, Blue Sky Transformation

In our association with Vick Sparks in the past three years, it is evident to us that the growth of Vicki’s organisation, ConnectWorking, is a testament of her capability. The subsequent expansion of ConnectWorking into related areas of her business, truly demonstrate that she embodies the true essence of NETWORKING with sound knowledge and practical insight. Her area of specialty is in dealing with the small to medium size organisations and now building up her corporate level membership which has fostered much fruitful collaboration. What sets Vicki apart is her service oriented mindset and her deep desire and intention to assist others to succeed in their pursuit of business achievements. Her intention is true to her action which speaks volumes in today’s business environment.

Gita Hettiaratchi, First Class Accounts

“I have known Vicki Sparks, founder of ConnectWorking for over four years. I have in this period been impressed with her continuous effort to provide and maintain a professional image for her business. While knowing Vicki in this capacity I have also had the opportunity to attend several presentations made by her and have found them to be current and eye opening. The topics covered are concise, informative and well presented with lots of real life examples which helped to drive home the key issues”

Kevin Spark, Onion Creative

“I wanted to let you know how invaluable the workshop you put on was to me. It certainly opened my eyes to a number of possibilities in how to connect and drive my own business forward. The relaxed and informal atmosphere that you create broke down barriers and enabled me to discuss potential ideas and open doors with a number of people that I would have little or no chance of meeting. The business world is an exciting place to be and as soon as you venture outside your own comfort zone and begin making those connections you quickly realize just how many like minded people there are out there. One again I’d like to thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to the next event.”

Justin Stone, RBC Business Solutions

“I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the training the other day. It’s a great group you have created. I’ve already met some great people and have handed out about 10 leads so far. As I mentioned at the training the other day, it’s great to talk to clients about something else apart from your own product. While I’m signing an order or doing an initial appointment, I’m always looking around the office and listening intently to the conversation to see if another opportunity for someone else comes up.”

Sharron Tancred, Director, Works For Your House

“What a delightful day at ConnectWorking!  I recently drastically reduced my Yellow Pages advertising. After just 3 months of being in the ConnectWorking network, I have learnt more and gained more leads than a year of my bundled Yellow Pages local, Brisbane and online advertising.  And I am a decorative artist.  Just goes to show that CLEVER networking IS the way to going this economy.”

Terry Cubit - Managing Director QTK

QTK has been associated with ConnectWorking for several years. We have used thier services for Training and business contacts and have used many of their contacts to supply goods and services to our business. We have found that the quality of these contacts is such that we do not “ shop around “ because we get good value for money and the time and money saved by not doing the ground work ourselves is immeasurable.

Jeannette Cuthbert - Managing Director Excel Event Management

ConnectWorking has allowed us to focus on what we do best by freeing up our time in sourcing the right people for the products and services we require. They provide a fabulous service of sourcing and screening potential service providers who can enhance our business operations rather than “try them and see if they can do it approach” - which in the past has proved costly to both the bottom line and reputation of our company.

Aaron Parker - Marketing Coordinator Propell National Valuers

There are two ways you can make contacts in business. Do it all yourself, asking for referrals or using Google or yellow pages, which is slow, tiresome, costly, and risky.  Or there is ConnectWorking, which is fast, relevant and most of all laser targeted. We didn’t want to waste our time and resources trying to make contacts that are crucial to our business so after hearing about ConnectWorking we immediately started to use their service.

We simply send an email request for a contact to ConnectWorking, and then they do the rest. They take the time to understand what we need and they connect us with the best person to meet our needs. All we have to do is talk to their specialists. This has proved invaluable for our company as it’s quicker, more powerful and saves us so much valuable time and money. We recommend them to anybody serious about building their business.

Joanne Brooks - Training Director Talent2 Education Qld

I have been involved with ConnectWorking for 3 years and am one of the Connect Enterprise Specialists. The connections ConnectWorking has created for me have been with sound businesses who are excited about my offering all due to the fact that ConnectWorking has taken the time to understand my business and as such is able to communicate the offer clearly to the prospects prior to me meeting with the client. The dollar value of the business generated to date in excess of $25,000 with great prospects of significant increase with existing client and others. This has been and continues to be an excellent relationship and one I endorse 100%.

Edward Gifford, Ph.D. - Principal and Director On-Purpose Partners

It is a pleasure to be the recipient of the very significant contribution ConnectWorking has made to my business since August 2011.  As one of ConnectWorking’s professional experts, my business has been proactively promoted to a wide range of businesses and corporations.  This has resulted in ConnectWorking being a key business development “agency” for On-Purpose Partners.  In the past 6 months I have been personally introduced to key personnel, who in-turn, have opened up their networks to me.  The combined result has been that my sales have almost doubled in six months.  I have gone from trying to “do it alone” to having the expert and focused marketing power of ConnectWorking as my business development partner.  I highly recommend them.
