CEO of Credit Fix Solutions, Victoria Coster, highlights the dangers of certain behaviours that are causing damage to our credit reports and credit scores.
Buy Now Pay Later schemes are stopping families from obtaining home loans as well as other types of finance.
Getting a lovely testimonial from referrers and clients is SO rewarding for any company and their team.
Our team at Credit Fix Solutions strive to offer the best customer service experience.
We go above and beyond to serve our referral partners and clients.
That being said, it’s not often that people spend the time to send across their thanks.
Often we fix people’s credit reports and they never say thank you.
In some cases, we fix their reports and they never even pay our fees!
It can sometimes be a thankless job in credit repair!
However, every now and then you come across a generous member of your community who is happy to give back and share some kind words about their experience with you.
In this case, it was the lovely Sherin Strachan, an amazing finance broker, Director of Australian Loans & Finance Group, who was kind enough to share her feedback with us.
Sherin wrote the following email to our team recently and she was kind enough to approve us to share her feedback as an online testimonial:
Sherin’s Testimonial
“I’d like to share a story of a very positive experience I’ve had with Marianna and the Credit Fix team with you.
I first saw Marianna in a Choice PD video session.
I contacted her on Monday 19 October to confirm the process for referrals, Credit Fix requirements and informed her of a client of mine I’d referred to the 1800 number. Marianna was friendly, informative, professional and answered all queries thoroughly. She promised to contact my client, locate my client’s file and keep me updated on the file progress.
3 hrs later I receive an email from the Credit Fix team advising of file progress.
Today, less than 3 days later, I’m advised of the removal of the default on my client’s credit file! Wow! What an amazing team and experience for my client and I – we are delighted!
I’ll be confidently referring any clients requiring assistance with their credit file to Marianna and the Credit Fix team.”
Marianna was beaming at the kind words that Sherin shared with our team.
Getting feedback is so important for all of us when it comes to our work.
It boosts morale and helps us deal with the not so appreciative people….and there’s always a few of those.
Thank you Sherin for the wonderful feedback and we look forward to assisting your clients again in the future.

How I connected with over 15,000 relevant connections on LinkedIn
Networking is a critical part of lead generation for many businesses and consistency is the key when making connections on LinkedIn, according to Victoria Coster, author of From Zero to CEO.
When I started my business from my son’s bedroom I hadn’t even started networking but I knew it was something that wouldn’t cost money, just time.
If you connect with 10 people a week at events, that’s 40 people you can potentially do business with every month.
That’s 120 people in the first three months.
This is how I grew my business!
I joined local business groups, created relationships, met with the same people on a regular basis.
Later, I turned my attention to online and largely LinkedIn.
I set myself a target to add at least 20 relevant people my LinkedIn profile every day.
I searched people who I thought would be interested in our services, and I added them.
Every day I added 20-40 people in the finance sector in Australia.
Sometimes I did this while queuing at the supermarket checkout.
Other times I did it watching crap on TV in the evenings.
It’s so easy, but the secret is to do this consistently, every day.
Then you send a private message to whoever connects and suggest you catch up for a coffee
(at their office, or a local coffee shop is fine) and start building a relationship.
I now have more than 15,000 relevant connections on LinkedIn!!
ALL relevant to our services at Credit Fix Solutions – and I started with ZERO.
There is no secret to building your connections.
Just consistently add people every day and then send them messages via LinkedIn to catch up.
Yes, consistency is the key when sending messages out on LinkedIn, keep connecting with 20 new people a day – don’t stop!
When you meet with people in person, make sure that you are adding value to their business or the meeting in general.
Also ensure that you start commenting and liking posts from your connections on LinkedIn and join relevant LinkedIn groups and start commenting and creating posts on a regular basis.
This will help establish yourself as a ‘go-to’ person in your industry.
It will keep you front of mind for your online audience.
On average, I get around two to five leads per week just from LinkedIn.
It’s taken me five years to grow my connections to 15,000 but it has been something that has really attributed to the success of my business.
