This Is What Our Customers Think Of Our Training

Wow! Doing the Marketing Strategy course with Red Button Marketing Training has really made me think - of what we currently do and what we are missing.  Really thought provoking and a light bulb moment!

Wow! What an amazing event! I attended the Fundamentals of an Effective Marketing Strategy workshop today and I came away feeling inspired and energised. I can't wait to share everything I have learned with the rest of our team, and use it to develop our ideas, toolkit, and framework. Thank you!

Great strategic marketing session delivered by Margaret at Red Button Marketing Training, the session covered relevant topics to my industry and has left me with a lot to think about in terms of tailoring my marketing approach. It was great to meet and network with other North East organisations and to have interesting discussions about each other’s current marketing challenges and goals.

At the Aircon Group we identified that the majority of enquiries come into the business by phone, but at the time we were having some communication issues.

Mags delivered training which highlighted to all front facing staff that first impressions count, there was opportunity for discussion, time allocated to ironing out ongoing issues, an awareness session to show employees how their role significantly impacted other people’s roles in the business and how excellent communication with customers and colleagues results in fantastic customer service. The session we offered is now part of our induction for new staff members in office-based roles.

The course was very interesting and helped me to understand more about how to plan a marketing strategy, and it has given me some great ideas on how to get started . The session was very well structured and the group participation was well received… I even met some new connections!

We started using Mags to do our marketing when she started Red Button Marketing Training. Mag’s enthusiasm for just about everything is clear to see and this translates into her work.  Marketing was very much on the backburner for us with no social media presence before Mags came to help. She singlehandedly transformed the public view of the firm with a total rebrand, new logos, colours and dragged us into the 21st Century with Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. To say that her creativity is unique is a total understatement. Whoever would have thought that they would see a post on a law firm’s Facebook page with a photo of a dog wearing sunglasses and licking an ice-cream? Well Mags did!   I would thoroughly recommend Mags and Red Button Marketing Training if you want something out of the ordinary and make you stand out from the crowd.

Mags was fantastic in presenting the marketing training. The session was amazing in that Mags asked all attendees and myself questions about our business, so we could create action plans to implement after the workshop session. I highly recommend having a training session with their team, a lovely bunch of people and a ground-breaking course; thank you!

Now that I have attended module 1, I feel equipped with more knowledge on marketing and have a better understanding of how the whole team can get involved. The webinar style of delivery was great; everything was super easy to follow; and the session was nice and relaxed.

We really enjoyed our Red Button Marketing Training sessions with Margaret and would highly recommend The Marketing Performance Framework(TM).  Her enthusiasm and positivity are such encouraging elements in her mentoring you’re left feeling empowered after every session; she is a joy to work with.  The Marketing Performance Framework(TM) has taught us a lot and made marketing seem less daunting. It is extremely helpful for creating an efficient marketing strategy and gaining a better oversight on task management so you’re not left feeling overwhelmed.  Margaret took us back to basics and taught us how to go about creating a unified platform to work from. Her sessions have really helped focus our ideas and left us feeling capable of reaching our goals.

After a fantastic morning of mentoring from Margaret I couldn’t recommend Red Button Marketing Training more highly. Margaret’s delivery of the ‘Red Button Methodology’ was absolutely brilliant, taking the time to understand exactly what our needs were and creating a workable marketing strategy around this. It is clear how passionate Margaret is about her work and her enthusiasm about our business has given us all a fresh perspective on our marketing approach.  Read more about our relationship with Erimus in our interview with Emma.

This was innovative & practical training that I was applying straight away during the course. My Marketing Button is a great online marketing tool. Thank you!

The Red Button Marketing Training course has really shone a light upon Indie Ink. From start to finish every detail was useful and applicable to our business. As someone who originally thought they knew a lot about marketing, this course really opened my eyes to the wonderful world of marketing outside social media and content. I would recommend this course to all companies and businesses of all sizes. Whether they are startups or not, as with marketing there is always much to learn. Especially when learning from the concept of the marketing button, a genius ideology.

Danielle Graham, Sales and Marketing Executive
Indie Ink

The workshop was a great opportunity for the management team to get a deeper understanding of what marketing is, and how each team member can contribute to the overall strategy no matter what their role. This could be as little as contacting existing clients, upselling new features or providing knowledge share for further business development opportunities.

iTCHYROBOT worked with Margaret at Red Button Marketing Training as part of a workshop to give us an external perspective on our marketing strategy and we have integrated My Marketing Button to ensure that our marketing activity is kept focused and tracked to keep us targeted towards achieving our objectives. The app is simple to use and easy to manage which is a revelation with marketing software and the interface is not complex but engaging and intuitive. We hope to roll the app out to the team to encourage co-ordination and a bit of healthy competition.

Our team had a great session on the Red Button Marketing Training philosophy which provided us with a very clear framework to work within, enabling us to take our marketing for 2023 forward in a more structured way.

I can highly recommend Margaret Bradshaw's My Marketing Button Bites.

I really benefitted from this insightful course. It was packed with relevant knowledge and it was brilliant to seek new ideas I’ve not tried yet for the business.

What an amazing training session from Red Button Marketing Training. A genuine game-changer. It has already transformed the way my team are thinking about marketing and will provide the model that will inform everything we do to promote the work of Middlesbrough FC Foundation. Energizing, thought provoking and practical. Genuinely can't recommend Red Button Marketing Training highly enough - Thank You!

Helping businesses with all their design and print needs whilst using sustainable paper and being environmentally conscious throughout all processes and supporting the local community. Having attended one of Margaret Bradshaw’s My Marketing Button Bites, I can highly recommend to others and all at a very reasonable cost.

We met Margaret through a North East Chamber of Commerce networking event and were immediately impressed by her ideas and enthusiasm.  We agreed to work together to market our Team Building Experience Days in Darlington. She brought new motivation to the team and helped us to develop a plan to re-engage with previous clients and provided inspiration for new marketing material to reach out to new perspectives. All in all a great experience and will certainly be working with Red Button again.

[The Strategic Marketing Course was] Brilliant!

Mags is really great at delivering the content and involving everyone in the conversations. There was no pressure, the whole afternoon felt relaxed and natural. It was really engaging and I left feeling extra motivated and couldn’t wait to get started!

This Strategic Marketing Training Course from Red Button Marketing Training has really made me aware of what we are currently doing and what we still need to do, taking away action points for how we can achieve our marketing goals.

At Sapere we are focused on supporting businesses with amazing software solutions and were keen to reach out to more businesses to help them with our expertise. We knew we needed dedicated resources to undertake cold outreach work, so we employed candidates who had values that aligned well with our business that also had a “can do” attitude and a willingness to pick up the phone.

As a software business, we are specialists in our field but we knew we needed support when it came to cold outreach and marketing expertise, so, with no hesitation we reached out to Red Button Marketing Training who specialise in marketing process and telemarketing training. We engaged with Mags at Red Button Marketing Training who put together a bespoke training package that would offer ongoing support to our team. She focused on outreach techniques that meant our team had more in their “backpack” to help them on each call. Since our work with Mags, we have seen an increase in our meetings with prospective clients and we are delighted that we are reaching more people with our message.

Paul Drake, Commercial Director

A key takeaway for me from the Marketing Planning workshop is that Marketing is not just down to one person in the business – the whole company is involved in some way however big or small. Marketing can be broken down and managed with simple tasks.

I’m a very visual person so I think the My Marketing Button software will help me get tasks done more efficiently and keep me on target. With the help of my new knowledge and the software access I feel I can plan an efficient marketing strategy broken down into manageable tasks.

Just wanted to say thank you for your Discovery Hour it really got me thinking and I feel that I've gained sudden confidence with posting on LinkedIn since I attended.

Olivia Bell, Director
SO Resources

The button methodology really hit the nail on the head of how marketing within a business goes beyond Social Media etc and actually encompasses much of your day to day activities. For me, the session with Mags was so beneficial because it allowed me to join the dots and gave me tools to be able to explain each individual's role within an overall marketing plan.

As a result, we’re experiencing what is potentially the busiest time the business has seen and has helped us develop a strategy where we can be consistent in our messaging and output even when driving sales may not be such a priority.

The support I’ve had from Mags since has also been incredible. Having someone to chat through things with and giving an external point of view has been so helpful.

We engaged the services of Margaret Bradshaw of Red Button Marketing Training to deliver content on our Pitch Perfect programme. The programme is about preparing businesses for investment.

Margaret delivered a session on the subject of developing an effective marketing plan. This was in order to both offer a connected process that would underpin business growth but also to showcase to investors that they were ready for the next stage and armed with a powerful and clear way to make best use of any investment received. In addition, the content gave delegates a way to showcase their businesses to potential investors as there was time spent on reaching a target market.

The session was well received by the delegates. They said that they had gained new knowledge and insight into how to set out and create a sustainable marketing plan for growth.

Marketing strategy in a practical package. Perfect for people who know how important marketing is and want to spend as much time as possible executing the plan, rather than stressing over it.

Rachel Todd, Head of Fundraising and Marketing

Thank you for such an enjoyable training session! The content we covered was great and the webinar itself wasn't overwhelming. Now that I have attended Module 1, I feel excited to put new ideas into practise.

Lucy Williams, Business Development Manager
XL Precision Technologies

We were really excited to get involved with the Button workshop and we were interested to see how it would fit with us, given we are a marketing agency. We found the whole session thought provoking and using the support materials also made us feel it was an opportunity to learn and get our strategy together. The session illustrated very well the breadth of the marketing process and reminded us of some key fundamentals.

As a marketing agency, we find businesses who have a marketing culture embedded already get so much more from their agency. The session was also a great reminder for us on other opportunities that we can use to further develop our own business.
