A financial manager by training, an entrepreneur by nature, an insightful consultant by choice, Cyrille is considered to be a tenacious and resilient entrepreneur.
His path has taken him from grace, back in Cameroon, where he had commanded the attention of the media and was blessed with the trappings of good life: cars and houses, to grass into the rough and tumble world of business start-up and finally to a place where he can focus on the part he loves best; that is helping business owners grow their businesses 9X FASTER and increase profitability by 50% by showing them how to magnetically attract a flood of Customers that pay, stay, and refer.
A strategic thinker, analyst and Business Growth Consultant, Cyrille is at the helm of affairs at Charis Business Intelligence Consulting , a data driven marketing firm with the vision to provide cutting edge online marketing solutions to diverse clients.
Cyrille is specially interested in the challenges of accelerating and managing growth.
He has been a consultant since 2017. Before that, I used to run an educational consultancy agency and at the same time was a publisher of a magazine. But pretty much from the moment he started consulting and working with clients to help them improve their businesses, I knew this was what I wanted to do.
As he progressed in consulting he had to learn how to market and sell. Something which he was far from a natural art and he really struggled with early on.
But thanks to some great mentors, some hard work, and a lot of trial and error he learnt what it takes for someone who isn’t an extrovert and who doesn’t feel comfortable “selling” to be successful at winning clients.
For the last few years he has focused on working with other business owners and startup CEOs teaching them what he has learnt (and continue to learn) about how to win clients helping them attract a flood of customers that PAY, STAY and REFER and in particular, how solo professionals and small firms can win clients without spending all their time on marketing or having to become some kind of technical genius to achieve this.
The sad truth is that, most marketing and sales training for consultants is created by marketing specialists, not consultants. People who love marketing and spend most of their time on it – often with the aid of a full-time team and that’s very different to the reality for most professionals who focus primarily on their client work and need to fit their marketing around that.
To him, it’s simply not practical to learn complex methodologies, highly technical systems for advertising on Facebook or Google, or approaches which involve spending all your time posting on social media.
What we need are simple, practical strategies we can implement quickly and fit into a busy working day.
He believes we don’t need to become super slick salespeople or professional marketers. We just need to use marketing strategies that harness our strengths: our expert knowledge in our fields and our work with clients.
And that’s what he works on with his clients.
