“If you are a practicing independent consultant then Appleton Greene is a must. However, do not think that all you need to do is register with them, publish your profile and then just sit back and watch the money roll in. if you do nothing, you will achieve nothing. I learnt this the hard way. I registered about a year ago and quickly got my professional profile published. I knew that the next step was developing my client information guide, but I was pressed for time and put this on the back burner. I then came to the end of my current project and had a month or so to spare, so I contacted Appleton Greene again who understandably said that they were still waiting for my client information guide. I then had the motivation to spend time on this and once it was approved and published, I achieved my first assignment within a week! Not only that, but I have received service orders from Appleton Greene regularly every month since, not all of which I am able to accept. So, learn from my mistakes. The more that you put into this, the more you will get out of it. I am not alone either. Everyone that I have spoken to who has succeeded at Appleton Greene has had their client information guide approved and published. An additional tip: Appleton Greene’s customer service support guys are really good, if you are not regularly communicating with them then you are missing out.”
