Business Strategists

My first experience with Sam Howell Ltd. was back in 2017/18 when I was asked to stand in for an interview on The Fish Tank Diaries. I remember walking into... read more the room to be greeted by the smiling an enthusiastic Sam Howell himself, and I automatically felt as though I knew him already. Having only recently started my business, walking into an interview scenario was a completely new concept for me, but Sam sat me down while the cameras were being set up and chatted to me endlessly which did wonders easing my nerves. By the time we stopped catching up, as if we were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years, I had hardly noticed the cameras were rolling and the interview had begun. After the interview, Sam generously took the time to understand more about me and my business. In my brief experience of the business world, I had come across some unsavoury characters who had knocked my confidence, Sam was the first reputable business person I met who made me feel like I wasn’t completely out of my depth and that with a little strategy behind what I was doing I could go very far. After the interview we continued our communication, Sam took a genuine interest in what I did and his advice improved the way I ran my business tenfold - even going as far as to introduce me to potential clients. He took the time to email me over a mock-up proposal for a client I was hoping to approach; always giving honest, no-nonsense feedback which, looking back on it now, I feel really prepared me for the inevitable challenges of the business world. Through Sam, I was able to attend young directors dinners, gained clients, took on speaking opportunities and even made connections with people who could collaborate and work with me on projects. His advice, guidance and our genuinely wonderful catch ups have been instrumental in developing me into the businesswoman I am today. He stands out from the crowd by flying under the radar; not a hint of ego, chauvinistic nature or BS - just good, solid business advice, a genuine interest in who you are as a human being and the kind of connections and results driven businessperson that we really need to see more of in todays misguided ‘hustle culture’ wave of entrepreneurial practice.
