Description of business: Impact Interaction is a personal development training company that focuses on the dating market. We provide practical, field experience based, workshops and seminars to teach individuals how to meet women effectively.

- Teaching models and techniques for interaction (verbal and non-verbal communication and calibration)
- Demonstrating the use of models and techniques live in field so that clients see how it works
- Giving direct feedback to students on their application of models and techniques as they apply seminar learning in field

Our models, techniques and courses have been based upon over two years of intense practical experience, hanging out with and studying some of the world’s most successful guys with women, the founder’s own development paths and finally, have been adapted to optimise the personal development process for clients.

Impact Interaction was launched to teach skills professionally in London at the beginning of 2004 and now has a track record of successfully helping many guys to meet women better.
