“We have used the services of Peter Lane Biz Development for over 5 years.

“We have utilised Peter’s marketing expertise in both city and country sites with great success. We are more than happy with the results achieved and have no problem recommending Peter’s services to other firms seeking to expand their client base.”
Alan Lindsay, General Manager, M B + M Business Solutions, Chartered Accountants, Shepparton, Victoria
“Peter and his girls do what we all do not want to, day in, day out, contact new clients and generate new income to our firm. More importantly, this is done while we are doing other business. Most businesses will do all the ‘fluffing’ to look as if they are marketing to generate new clients, the reality is, they will fail to follow up and actually contact the client to ask the all important question. Peter’s business put money in his client’s pockets because he is very thorough and ultimately walks new clients into our business.”
A P (Tony) McCormick, Managing Director, McCormick Harris Insurance Brokers, Bendigo Melbourne Geelong Sydney
“Peter and his girls have done a great job in attracting prospective new clients for our business. In the initial stages of establishing our relationship, Peter got a good understanding of the clients that we were looking at attracting and the results have since spoken for themselves. The best thing about using Peter’s services is that we have had the opportunity to tender for work that we normally wouldn’t have seen and as a consequence are looking at expanding our business to service the growth.”
David Mardell, Bob Mardell Chartered Accountants, Kenmore, Queensland
“Every accountant knows that there a significant number of potential clients out there who are not happy with their current arrangement, but find it too difficult to change. The question for the accountant is how to connect with those people. At the time of writing we have been a client of Peters’ for approximately two weeks, and so far we are seeing that the answer to that question is to have a professional marketer ask potential clients whether they would like to discuss whether we can assist with their accounting and tax work. In that time Peter and his team have identified numerous contacts within organisations which fit our client profile, who are happy to have a talk. Sure, we still have to finalise the sale, but it is going to be a lot easier with potential clients who want to talk to us in the first place.”
Steve Walker, Director, Herbert Partners, Tuggerah, New South Wales
We were sceptical at first in entering into an arrangement with Peter Lane Business Development, believing that new clients in our accounting practice should come from referrals, but we have been surprised and impressed with the Peter and the results he has achieved since he has been working with us. He really took the time to get to know us and the types of clients we’re looking for and tailored his approach to this. Typical of relationships – you get out of it what you put into it, and we look forward to working hard in building an even more rewarding relationship with Peter in coming years.”
Steven Jones, Director, Skaines Reeves + Jones, Strathpine Queensland
