I spent a couple of years in the programs run by Christo and the team and he was always very generous with his time and wisdom.
Christo is a down to earth and informative facilitator at Basic Bananas. I was always impressed with the way the sessions were run and with the ideas that Christo could inject into planning strategies. If you have been looking at the Basic Bananas programs, I would highly recommend attending a Blast Off workshop for a taste of what it’s all about.

I highly recommend Christo and his team who are passionate about what they do in assisting small business owners by giving them the tools and strategies to keep their marketing on track.
I first met Christo at a Blast Off Workshop and his marketing knowledge and motivation for small business encouraged me to sign up for the Basic Banana Program. The program has been one of my best business investments and has been invaluable. I still refer to my manual, use the help desk and listen to the podcasts to keep me on top of my marketing.

I went along to one of Christo’s marketing workshops some time back and he was super knowledgeable and had a great way of delivering the message.
Christo is a legend! Not only does he rip on a surfboard (like seriously) he is a very astute entrepreneur and educator. Not content with growing his own businesses over the past couple of decades, he has also assisted hundreds of others to do the same. From there I have worked on a couple of projects with his team. Super stoked to have connected and had the benefit of working with his team.
