Many, many thanks again for pushing me onto this new path! Kathy Eber, Port Eber Communications

August, 2007: I have listened to three of your webinars and have to tell you, have listened to three of your webinars and I have tell you, I have gained some valuable insight for marketing and branding my own business (and I’m in the Marketing business). You have presented a new perspective for me to consider as well as shared information I know but have forgotten. I have especially appreciated the down to earth presentation of the material. At the end of each webinar, I have left the call feeling it was time well spent! Thanks for sharing! Jena Palmby, S & C Promotional Products
July, 2007: Just a quick note to thank you for the “New Marketing” training last night. I found it both interesting and comforting in that I was beginning to wonder why the marketing strategies I had employed (magazine ads, flyers, cold calls) were not getting me anywhere. I assumed it was just me! I work with a network marketing company and the way we build our customer base has always been by developing relationships, hosting home demonstrations, and recruiting business builders. It is hard to gain momentum in the industry after you have tapped your warm market. I am hopeful that some of the strategies you discussed might be helpful in this line of business. Mary C. Kay, Arbonne International

March 2007: I have had the great pleasure to work with Chris Beebe on several occasions. She has always helped me visualize what it is that I truly want to accomplish.

Chris is creative and smart and always amazes me how easily she can take my ideas and change them from dreams to reality. Marcia Krauss, Delcie Dog Treats
