Meet Nikolaos Floratos of Funding Expert Academy

Tell me a little about your business…

I am Nikolaos Floratos the founder of Funding Expert Academy that transforms individuals into professionals in Grant proposal development. My focus is on funds and programmes provided by European Union but also countries from all over the world can benefit from the recipe that I have developed. Anyone and I mean anyone can become an expert in exploiting grants successfully. Any person that follows the proper framework and guidance can develop a successful/great grant proposal in the same manner that anyone can create a great meal with the right recipe and support. Especially, small and medium enterprises as well as freelancers and startup owners can benefit significantly from my recipe.

What brought you to Simplero?

I was looking for cost effective alternatives to Infusionsoft and initially I had experiment with Ontraport but I wasn't satisfied and then I checked Simplero that I loved it from the first moment.

How have you integrated Simplero into your business?

I have been experimenting with it and also paying its subscription for more than a year but now after following some marketing launch seminars I know exactly what I need and how to find that in Simplero.

How has Simplero benefited your Business?

It has allowed me to collect some new leads based on widely used marketing techniques as well as to get my first income from online services. Most of my income which is quite significant comes from face-to-face training that I deliver all over the world on grant proposal development but all this travelling is exhausting me and I wish to focus now on line course delivery and experience.

What's something you've learned in business you'd wish someone had told you when you were starting out?

Anything can be learned either via the hard way (almost on your own) such as writing successful grant proposals or via the easy way that is learning by others through their courses and coaching.

What's a fun fact about you that someone would never guess?

I have travelled and worked in all countries in Europe (apart from Estonia)!
