Annette designed and implemented channel and end user promotions for an Australian based international liquid fertiliser manufacturing company. Her marketing strategies increased sales of several products by 35% and improved gross product profitability of the entire range by 10%.

She project managed and edited the production of a range of high quality crop nutrition technical manuals which assisted with specialist training and raising the company's expert status in the marketplace.

It has been wonderful to work with Annette. She really knows what she is talking about as far as mentoring us in Internet Marketing is concerned. The thing that she has needed, and has displayed, in abundance, is above all patience, as some of us have found it particularly hard to step into another mindset and become internet marketers ourselves.

Annette is always available emotionally and physically, incredibly knowlegeable on not just the what to do, the technical skills and the how to's but also the WHY to's, which are a critical ingredient of the whole experience. The critical thing is that she has also done the whole thing herself for her own projects so she is teaching from her own experience and saving us some lengthy and costly mistakes.

She is also particularly humble and modest in her approach to teaching and always willing to listen to other points of view and learn from them herself. This for me is the mark of a great teacher and in fact I feel rather like I have been coached by a great friend. ... who was also brave enough to kick my butt sometimes when needed to get results! Thank you Annette.

Annette Welsford is among the very few people I have met that truly understands how the internet, entrepreurship and small business can go together. While other people talk about the theory, methods and processes, Annette has the hands on experience to guide your business, either on line or off line, through the marketing and business mine field.

Annette has been a source of inspiration since we met in early 2006, and more importantly, as I was getting ElectricalBusinessSecrets.com of the ground. the person who always seemed to be there when I was struggling with learning a new task or marketing method, who would come to my rescue just before my deadline was due.

I would recommend Annette and her team at Common Sense Marketing to any business owner regardless of the size of your business. - John McKenna Founder www.ElectricalBusinessSecrets.com

I have grown from a reluctant, absolute beginner, to launching my website thanks to Annette’s patience and expertise. She has shown me, through working one-on-one, and phone conferencing, and talked me through the many aspects of building a website and creating the reality of my vision.

She has given clear, sequential instructions as well as giving me so many tips and ideas along the way and has always been willing and ready to help in a professional manner.

I’ve spent many months trying to understand and figure out how make my website work by myself, but when I began working with Annette I suddenly began making progress. I now feel confident and excited about my website thanks to Annette’s encouragement and invaluable coaching.
