Michelle Mills-Porter (Creator of illuminating analysis tools) The People Reader
Dave is an expert in partnerships. He is not just a great matchmaker, able to see the commercial strengths of a collaboration, but he understands how to ensure that the people he introduces share values. I love what Dave is developing with LuMilona and it is perfectly positioned to help society to evolve into the collaborative mind set. I love working with Dave, he is incredibly switched on, authentic, trustworthy and has a huge heart. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Sue Rizzello - Managing Director of Remedy Marketing
Dave is one of those rare beasts who not only practices what he preaches, but loves it and wants others to love it too.
As a supreme networker he knows many people - but, while many people protect and guard their precious connections, he operates the reverse.
The result: a ripple effect, and I've found myself being more open with referrals and connecting up people, just because I can. That's a great mark to make on the world.

Julie Genney - Mindset Expert
Wow that was discovery call and a half!!
Thanks Dave what a value packed, and frankly fun, hour's conversation.
You don't know what you don't know... until you have spoken to an expert in their field. It's clear you speak with expertise sharing both the aspirational position on partnerships, and at the same time practical steps you can take to start the ball rolling in thinking, research and implementation.
I know I have some work to do now, and I also know when I'm ready for the next stage and want some help, Dave you'll be the expert in my corner.
I highly recommend a discovery call with Dave, it really will deliver value there and then.
Thanks again Dave

Having attended a workshop Dave was hosting it was clear that his knowledge on the subject of collaborations is limitless. He approaches the subject with his easy manner and extensive enthusiasm and energy. Taking you right from the beginnings to inspiration, highlighting exactly what can be achieved and the best approach. Always engaging, I would thoroughly recommend speaking to Dave if you are ever considering collaborating to expand your business.

Alexandra (Forman) Freedman
Dave speaks with authority and enthusiasm and everything he says makes complete sense so much so that I wondered what had prevented me from doing what he suggested before! He is inspiring and positive and at times like this a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Dave for your time and your content.

Anita Brightley-Hodges - Specialist Family Business Advisor / Non Executive Director / Speaker / Mentor
Love love love Dave's down to earth warmth & energy. At the recent ISMA Global Stress Awareness & Wellbeing Summit I had the fun task of Chairing the panel session on 'Tomorrow's World & the Future of Work'. I was swept off my feet by Dave's personal story of how he fell out of love with his business, the effect it had on his frame of mind; what happened exactly and how he managed to pull himself out of the abyss and reinvent himself with a new zest for life and work. He now evangelises on how important 'fun' is in the workplace. Awesome and so real. Thanks Dave.

Emma Humphrey - Founder of Genius Marketing Ltd.
Dave has a great take on how partnerships should work and is bursting with incredible advice on how to build a successful partnership from the get go, or how to rescue one that's struggling. Definitely my go-to guy for anything to do with existing partnerships, potential partnerships or even if I think partnerships might be the answer and want an expert view.
-
Matt Lambert - Digital Marketer providing lead generating websites & experienced forensic PPC expert
Dave is very smart in quickly understanding the source of value in channels and partner marketing. Talk with him on anything vaguely related to building partnerships and you'll find he's done it before and he has helped my thinking many times. His enthusiasm and sense of fun is great to work with.

Helen Steel - Expert Business Consultant
Wow, what an inspiration Dave is. His energy and passion for his expert subject is just uplifting and he truly is incredibly knowledgeable about collaboration, partnerships, joint ventures and CRM. He knows how to get the best out of a partnership relationship so that everyone is happy and working towards a common goal. I would highly recommend him and he is a delight to work with.

Rob Tyson
Dave obviously has a wealth of practical experience at running successful partnerships. But more than just understanding the 'nuts and bolts' he brings integrity to what he does - he's mindful of doing the right thing for all partners, for the long term, which is where the real opportunity is. He's also an upbeat, fun and good guy... despite the Man Utd thing!

Steve (John) Clarke - Marketing Manager at Fleetmaxx Solutions and Oilfast
Working with Dave was a pleasure, he really understands the “power”
That your business data holds and how you can monetise it.
This is obviously great for the bottom line, but Dave understands how to enhance your relationship with your customers, increase your value to them and their loyalty to the brand.
Dave is very knowledgeable, and a nice chap.
Look forward to working again with him in the future.

Nikki Shield - Visual Communications Designer and Business Owner of Designs Like These
“You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” said Dave at his strategic referral partnership workshop.
Dave is your best friend when it comes to learning about strategic referral partnerships. His energy is infectious and inspiring. His knowledge is extensive and he delivers an easy-to-follow, step-by-step outline of what you need to do to set up and nurture effective referral partnerships. Whether you are simply intrigued or have a prospective partnership meeting lined up go to one of Dave’s workshops. I’ve realised that I have not fully explored who might be a perfect referral partner for my business and there could be many missed opportunities out there.

Magda Kolesinski - Founder of KDV
Dave Plunkett, Kudos, I really appreciated your webinar on partnerships strategies today. Learnt so much and enjoyed it very much. One of the best free webinars I've attended - highly recommended to anyone who wants to grow their business through partnerships.
-
Tom Hadley - Brand Strategy & Messaging at Sufu
Dave, your webinar was really impressive stuff, valuable, well-presented, commercially-oriented and a great vibe. I'm officially a big fan of your brand now :)
-
Christopher Ross - CEO of Convoy Community
When you experience one of Dave's talks, you immediately appreciate that here is someone who really knows their craft.
Dave generously did a talk for the Social Enterprise I run, sharing his knowledge, expertise and experience with us. It's that third bit that, for me, is so important: he's speaking as an explorer and pioneer: one who has been there and done that, rather than as someone working only from theory or curated media.
Terrific talk from a proper expert.
Thank you, Dave!

Graham Arrowsmith and Kevin Appleby - Hosts of The Next 100 Days Podcast
Dave was a brilliant guest on the podcast. He was engaging, he was humorous, and he presented a huge amount of value in the content he put over and those are the exact three things that Graham and I look for in a podcast guest.
The way He presented his DANCE framework and I go it the first time around. We asked him a question and he came up with a really good, clear answer that made me think, we’re missing something here for our own businesses. So we will support your chance to get on any podcast because the whole idea of this is to share knowledge in an engaging way. And he’s a very engaging, musical kind of a guy and we've loved having him on the next 100 Days podcast.

Love working with Dave.
He was a client of mine through BBX and always went above and beyond for his clients and wanting the best for them.
Most recently I asked Dave to be a guest speaker for my Find Us On Web networking event with his 5 tips to nailing referrals and the feedback was FANTASTIC!
Look forward to our next Collaboration.

Remeny Armitage Royle - Founder Of Brilliant And Human
To say Dave is brilliant at what he does and knows is an understatement. Dave joined our round table session as the resident expert sharing his fantastically valuable knowledge with our audience. He not only inspired everyone (including me) to start thinking more proactively about creating a referral plan and start asking for more referrals at the right time with confidence. He helped to allay our fears over the whole process. He is an amazingly knowledgeable professional and a great speaker to boot! Thanks Dave, I hope we can collaborate more in the future!

César Trabanco - VP of International Business Services at Global Chamber
Dave is one of the few professionals that really understands the whole process of making a referral, building the relationship and establishing a partnership. He is someone that will help you and your business to improve this process. I also had the honor to host him in one of our conversations, preparing our members to make better use of all the global connections from the Global Chamber.

Naomi Barker - Corporate Partnerships Lead at Wiltshire Air Ambulance
Dave is an expert in partnerships and collaboration. His knowledge and passion are evident in his teachings, the way he communicates and the success he, and those that work with him, have had. Having met Dave at a networking event and then attended his online DANCE workshop, I knew he would be the perfect person to deliver an interactive workshop at Wiltshire Air Ambulance’s new Business Club networking group. For our members, Dave was excellent value for their money. And for the charity, a first and lasting impression of the types of opportunities we can provide.
His charisma and energy shone through and his easy-going manner meant he could adapt to the ever-changing environment at our airbase. For one, continuing while the helicopter landed and lifted – not an easy feat when it’s just 20ft away from the room you’re teaching in!
I would thoroughly recommend speaking to Dave if you are looking to grow your business, or looking for an exceptional, high energy, speaker for you next event – you will not regret it!
