We have been working with Jon for 6 months now. He has helped record the best period of growth for a very long time. Our confidence as a business and in our business has grown as well. We are well in our way to achieving become of our goals ahead of time. The education of my staff has helped them become more efficient and in more confident in their roles, especially the back office operations. They tell me what to do now instead of the other way round. I did something recently that I've not done before, I went on a break and handed over one of the jobs to my lead tradie. I couldn't have done that before. Thanks to small fish and their philosophy.

Jon and i have worked together for the last year, if it wasn't for him my business wouldn't be still trading.

Fileman have been dealing with Small Fish over the past twelve months to build email marketing campaigns for lead generation. Small Fish have been a great resource for crafting our content, coordinating the logistics of each send and managing our databases so that we can focus on generating sales. We found Small Fish easy to deal with and Jon was always able to provide the right advice for our campaigns. I would recommend Small Fish to people who need expertise in any aspects of email marketing.
