Outshine your competitors. Win new clients. Build lasting success.

The results you want, whether you’re running workshops for CEOs and business owners; or you’re the owner of a business, looking to stand out in a crowd.

I support businesses in making their marketing simpler and developing the confidence they need to shout about how good they are. All so the right clients choose you, stay with you and recommend your business.

If you’re running peer groups:

I work with leaders who host workshops for CEOs and business owners, who want every session to feel genuinely worth attending.

My workshops give your members practical ways to:

  • Stand out in competitive markets without wasting time or money
  • Win ideal clients through simple positioning and messaging
  • Build businesses that are sustainable and meaningful.

For you as group leader, this means high engagement, strong word-of-mouth referrals and a reputation for bringing in speakers who deliver value. Working with me helps encourage your members to prioritise attending monthly events, as they know they’ll leave with ideas they can actually use.

Looking for a speaker who helps your members and makes you look good for booking them? Let’s talk. Call me: +44 (0)7773 252 744. Email: Chantal@AppletreeUK.com

If you’re a business owner:

I mentor service business owners who want their marketing to work without shouting, discounting or overwhelming them.

Together we focus on:

  • Standing out through simple marketing
  • Attracting ideal clients with confidence
  • Retaining your clients to build a business that lasts.

I’ve been helping businesses StandOut since 2000, through mentoring and practical advice that gets you results.

Curious about how this approach can work for you? Call me: +44 (0)7773 252 744. Email: Chantal@AppletreeUK.com

I’m Chantal Cornelius and I’ve spent over 25 years helping service businesses attract and keep the right clients.

Since 2015, my work has focused on a simple truth: USPs don’t work for service businesses.

Clients don’t choose you because of clever claims or fancy marketing messages. They choose you because of how they feel when they use your product or service.

That’s why I developed the StandOut Strategies. A practical, human approach to understanding emotional buying decisions and using language that genuinely connects.

I work internationally with business owners, leadership groups and peer-led organisations, showing them how to simplify their marketing and communicate their value with confidence.

Whether through mentoring, keynote talks or interactive masterclasses (online or in-room), my sessions are practical, lively and jargon-free. I’m known for being straight-talking, supportive and very focused on ideas that you can actually use.

Copies of my third book ‘StandOut Strategies‘ are available to clients and audience members.

If you’re ready to StandOut, win new clients and build lasting success, let’s have a conversation. Call me: +44 (0)7773 252 744. Email: Chantal@AppletreeUK.com
