What our Clients Say…

Bridget Garay, Business Development Manager - Footstep Enterprises.

Melanie has a vast depth of knowledge of business across a broad range of industries which is apparent when she is delivering workshops and conferences on small business. Her practical experience in her own businesses gives her great credibility amongst her clients at ease and makes the transition into business less threatening.

Melanie is highly respected for her work in assisting many people in their journey forward into business through workshops, mentoring and business planning. I would highly recommend Contact First to any organisation that is considering utilising their services in their business development.
Gertrude Benjamin, Managing Director - Azalaya Pty Ltd.

“I chose to use the services of Contact First 2007 when I was in the initial stages of planning and developing a plan for my business. I found that Melanie’s experience and knowledge in business both overseas and in her home country, to be a decided factor in my decision to use her services.
Melanie was able to use her knowledge and expertise in business to inform me of the many facets of business. She was available to me all hours of the day and night often working beyond the specifications of our contract. I believe that my association with Contact First Pty Ltd and the information Melanie shared with me was directly responsible for a successful submission to my bank and laid a strong foundation and understanding of the fundamentals of business.”
Mereki, Author/Award Winning Performer - The Kangaroo Club

“I first met Melanie when I was at a crossroads in relation to taking my newly formulated business ideas to the next level.

Melanie embraced my concepts with enthusiastic support and vigour, which is just what I and my business needed at the time.

Since that first meeting Melanie has been my mentor and a source of invaluable advice and support, I had my resoundingly successful Book and Business Launch, and I can honestly say that it would not have happened without the help of Melanie and her team at Contact First.”
Giullietta Morris, - Capalaba Cakes

Melanie Lavelle-Maloney was very helpful in advising the things I needed to ensure were done to start the business running. She suggested ways to market myself which has already proved successful. She also suggested I attend some workshops, which is a great idea only I am finding it difficult to work around with my 3yr old and my husbands job, and when the business picks up, I may find it difficult to attend them altogether, but I will make every effort to attend at least a few. She has also made a follow up visit to check on my progress and reminded me of a few things that still need attention. Melanie has been so helpful with all the information and ideas she has provided for me and would definitely recommend this program for anyone thinking of starting up a business as there were lots of things I wasn’t aware of but now know.
Elisha Booth,, Manager Corporate Sponsorship - Australia Post

I would like to personally thank you for your time, effort and commitment to promote the Australia Post NSW/ACT Small Business Awards launch program. The Awards program was highly successful with record high attendance in all areas. This could not have been achieved without you!
