Growth Mentoring

"Speaking to AJ Sharp was such a valuable use of an hour, I wish I'd done it earlier.

"Running a food delivery business means it can be hard to find the time to work on PR and marketing. AJ was so helpful, giving me lots of useful tips and pointers, and really got me thinking about where I want the business to go in the future. Her approach was strategic and smart, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending the company to any other food businesses looking to grow.”

Over the last 20 years, AJ has worked with hundreds of food and drinks brands, including household names like Gaucho Restaurants, Marston’s Beer Company, OGGS, Tilda Rice, Discovery Foods, Davidstow Cheddar, Mondelez, Allsopp’s and Sons, Macknade and Luxlo spirits.

AJ built her own agency into a success story, while raising young children – often alone, when her partner was away on military operations. She juggled multiple house moves (6 in 7 years) with many other day-today business challenges to boot. She understands exactly what a brand does and doesn’t need to do to be successful, as well as what is required to overcome the odds, prioritise what really matters along with the importance of the right mindset and setting the right goals.

“You can ask me anything and together we will work through your individual challenges. I will help you to find a solution and plan of actions which works for you.

“Together we will work out what is necessary and what isn’t. Along with how much you might need to invest in your business to reach the goals you are hoping to achieve.

“I offer a lot of mindset work with the business owners I mentor. Diving deep into intrinsic motivations, causes of burn out feelings and overwhelm, imposter syndrom and how to avoid the negative self belief and take you to a more positive place. And so much more.

“We won’t cover all these in a single session of course! But together we work through the issues you feel are most pressing.”

“I wasn't sure whether or not to sign up for the 1-to-1 session as I'm a fairly small business at the moment but I'm so glad I did. The information and tips we talked through have really helped me see where I should/need to be heading. I now have a better structure in my mind of where and how I can progress my business in using the marketing tools we discussed. So helpful, I can definitely see myself coming back at some point in the future.”

“AJ is brilliant, she helped me ease my way through the fog of PR and Social Media with simple, straight forward tasks, enabling us to plan and schedule our PR activities, focussing on our core business objectives. Thank you AJ, highly recommended.”

“All the information you have provided is very helpful and it's great to have some new ideas for our marketing strategy! You clearly know what you are doing and we appreciate all your advice.”

“We engaged Sharp Relations to work with us to help us focus our strategy for the next couple of years. We weren’t quite sure how best to move forward.

“In our one-to-one, AJ clearly understood our business needs, helped us prioritise what we should do and provided inciteful advice using her experience working with other businesses. She gave us structure to our product ideas and really clear, achievable actions. “We now feel we have a good handle on what we need to do, have moved from “overwhelmed” to “excited”, and are really looking forward to working with Sharp Relations again in the future.”
