What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Mentoring sessions and marketing advice from Bryley at Friendly Savage have won consistent praise from sole traders and established operators, who describe feeling stuck or flat before the engagement and gaining clear direction afterwards. The two-hour mentoring format is singled out as practical, with clients leaving equipped with steps to act on immediately. Her depth of knowledge across business and marketing strategy comes up repeatedly, as does her ability to pinpoint the areas needing focus and to say what a client needs to hear rather than what they might prefer.

Reviewers describe the ideas generated as creative yet realistic, helping owners reframe ambitions they had dismissed as unlikely. Trust in her judgement and the sense of support before, during and after engagements recur across the accounts, alongside the enthusiasm she brings to each meeting. Owners report progress on goals spanning revenue, time, people and product, and the breadth of services is credited with enabling effective campaigns. The mentoring is valued as guidance for marketing a business, with clients noting increased confidence and momentum.

Highly recommend Bryley, in my business endeavours I have come across a lot of so-called experts who fail to deliver so it was refreshing to come across Bryley. In-depth business & marketing skills and if needed she will tell you what you need to hear (not necessarily what you want to hear). A pleasant person to deal with, someone you can fully trust, knowing she has your best interests in mind.

Excellent experience recently with Friendly Savage for some Communications & Marketing mentoring/ advice & planning. Quickly & easily worked out some clear business goals and Bryley helped me develop some really useful strategies to achieve them over the coming couple of years. Bryley really knows how to support small business and find targeted ways to get us achieving goals in $$, time, people and product. I left feeling really excited with the new plan I had to achieve some new, increased results. Thanks Bryley!

I had a mentoring session with Bryley this week (through the ASBAS program) and left our meeting feeling inspired and with all the tools I needed to action my goals. Bryley is a wealth of knowledge in the small business world, and Bendigo in particular. If you need help achieving goals, or have an idea that you need help with - I highly recommend booking in!

Bryley was just the boost I needed. I've been in business for 11 years and had been feeling a little flat but after meeting with Bryley, I've already put into action some simple steps to help with the business. I've also got a great list to work on!

Bryley's fun, no bull approach to marketing was the perfect fit for our business. Her tactics are sensible and realistic and she has a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas up her sleeve. We completed a 2 hour mentoring session with Bryley and would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for guidance in marketing their business.
