Reviews

I’ve won a retainer for a role that I would’ve traditionally delivered under a contingent model.

Debbie MacDonald
Title Consulting

The return on investment that we’ve had from the three of us that initially did the course has been 7X already.

Tom Moore
Valtera Group

Within 10 months of doing the course, over a third of our revenue now comes from retained clients and retained fees.

Ryan Gorman
Lofthouse Group

Everything I’ve done since taking the course has been far more successful than it ever would have been without.

Mark Paterson

I’d recommend the course to others. It really helps you understand what ‘good’ looks like, how to structure everything, and how to go about it the right way.

Jane Riley
Set4Life Global

50% of the roles I have recruited this year are retained. 100% of those have been delivered to a good outcome for me and the client.

Adrian Karloci
B & K Consulting

I’m going to make much more money than I’ve made in my entire career

Sonya Danzig

We’ve won 12 new search assignments since completing the program.

Courtney Charlton

I come from a background of average fee £2,250 and to be pitching to clients and getting agreements for £45,000 deals, it’s night and day.

Shannon McKechnie

If you’re talking about return on investment in money terms, then it’s going to be thousands of percent.

I would estimate the ROI to be at least 10X.

I definitely recommend Search Mastery for people looking to either scale up or win bigger, more refined work.

I thought retainers wouldn’t work for me at all. I’m half way through the course and have won two retainers and the course has given me so much confidence to deliver them both.

The best thing we’ve done as a firm – a multi-hire retainer with $300k fees already.
