Robert Craven Website

Free Stuff

Like most sites, you are able to download free stuff from this site.

We have put free stuff on this site (over 70 pieces!) so that you can 'sample our wares' and get a feel for our approach and attitude. Tell your colleagues about us, and come and see us at one of the workshops or business surgeries.

70+ free Articles and Reports

This site offers you the opportunity to download more than just articles and reports. The publications webpage Business Guides and Direction, Articles and Reports includes:

1) Guides and How-to's

We have over 25 guides available - many of these have only been available 'at a price' in the past - guides and how-to's on everything from strategy, selling yourself, redefining your business, marketing worksheets - all fine stuff to help you to grow and develop your business.

2) rants

Sometimes Robert gets renamed 'Mr Angry' as he 'goes off on one' (in fact 15 of them!). In a world where everyone is so polite and civil its refreshing to see that someone is still passionate about their subject and isn't afraid to call a spade a spade!

3) press Articles

30 articles on marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship, success, training from the FT, Times, Management Consultancy and so on.
