info_outlineI first connected with Rachel back in January 2018 when I went to a networking event at Allbrights in London. She was offering an online training programme to get people doing their first 10km run at the time and we connected as I was asking her about software.
She jumped on a call with me in August 2019 with me when I was weighing up my options and introduced me to Kajabi the software I continue to use today.
At the time we were operating a local business with no online element but it was on the to do list.
In Dec 2019 we invested in 3 months of coaching with Rachel to get started and up and running with Kajabi and our first online course. She was amazing and taught me everything I know about Kajabi and online business and email marketing. She has been there ever since cheering me on, helping with pivots and bumps in the road and always happy to help me and my clients.
She is a regular expert on the Masterclasses within my programme and from October she will be doing a monthly slot within the Digital Doctor Membership as a resident coach for those wanting to grow, scale and reach more ideal clients.
