Hendrika Benjamins - NSCC Continuing Education “Your presentation on How to Choose the Best Marketing Tactics for Your Business was excellent. Your marketing advice was right on target and practical, and I agreed with all of your advice (which isn’t always the case with our speakers). If you ever want a job as a small business counselor, just let me know.” Cindy Butler - Seattle Community Capitol Development “I have to tell you that your recent workshop was one of the best we’ve had. You have a way of simplifying and delivering complex information that made what is often a dry, confusing topic interesting and easy to understand. On top of that, your presentation was both interactive and entertaining. Judging from the evaluations, everyone really got a lot out of it. We are so looking forward to having you back to speak to local business owners again in the fall. It is very likely to have repeat participants.” Rebecca Villareal – North Seattle Community Capital Development "Thank you again for being
a WBE workshop leader. We were very fortunate to have you and Jeannette
join forces. I really admire your courage and your success...You
are a living example of the “just do it” motto. I will
certainly keep you in mind for recommendation to others." Nancy

Workshop Testimonials “Stacy, what a fabulous communicator you are—clear, concise and to the point! This is the BEST Web sales class I’ve ever experienced. You presented Website sales in a natural progression, answering my questions in the order of priority. You filled in so many blanks in my mind about practical ways to make my Website my #1 salesperson. I would have saved a few thousand dollars if I had heard this information before hiring my last two Web designers. EVERY business person who has a Website MUST listen to you FIRST!” Dawn Jones - Successful Booking “I really enjoyed your energy and sense of humor. It was fun to hear your perspective and it made me reflect on current challenges and commit to taking action is a couple of places that have been bugging me.” Cynthia Clay - NetSpeed Leadership “You have such great energy, and your presentation definitely sparked some ideas on how to change my current Website from “what” to “how” to better help my customers.

Nancy Scholl, President – Women’s Business Exchange “Stacy, your Marketing Tune-Up presentation was great! Learning how critical both consistency and follow-up are for getting your name and focus out there was very helpful. I finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel as long as I take small steps to get my marketing done.” Kim Scott – Starridge Cleaning “Great job with the Marketing Tune-Up presentation. I enjoyed the fast pace and all the info you provided, and feel I now know how to better focus my time.” Mitzi McMahon –Pierce County Economic Development Specialist “I really enjoyed your recent Marketing Tune-Up presentation. The checklist and step by step breakdown of the steps I need to take was very helpful. And all of the information was easy to understand.” Shannon Galindo “Your Marketing Tune-Up presentation was very helpful for me. I feel like I now have a good, overall picture of the terrain of marketing. I especially enjoyed having the written materials along with your verbal explanation to back it up. My only complaint was two hours wasn’t enough!” Elisha Rain –Elisha Rain Photography “Stacy, I just wanted to let you know I listened to your audio on the way to work and I really got a lot out of it. It's motivating and practical. I was the picked on kid, too, so what you said really resonated with me. I think a lot of talks like this focus on a bunch of pie-in-the-sky, hocus-pocus without offering any practical advice. You outline steps to help figure out what could conceivably go wrong, then what steps to take to minimize that risk. It reminded me of what Dan Kennedy says about being a big picture optimist and a small picture pessimist.” James Palmer – The Write Stuff "Stacy, I have to tell you, ever since taking your Fears workshop this spring, I've really been making headway and doing the things I'm passionate about-but have been putting off. At your suggestion, I created my "Someday List" and posted it next to my computer where I have to look at it everyday. Now I'm gleefully crossing things off of it. I finally took that Masters Swim Class I've been putting off participating in (It was great, and now I don't know what I was so worried about). Best of all, I've finally put my cleaning business up for sale and gotten back to doing what I really love, making documentaries, singing jazz and spending time with loved ones. And I feel so much happier as a result. Thank you so much for providing both the inspiration and the tools I needed to make it happen!" Liz Latham – Seattle Cleaning Service “I always enjoy hearing you speak and admire the bushel of wisdom you have accumulated. I am sure I will enjoy your publications.” Janet McDermott -Realtor “Stacy, I thought your recent presentation on How to Choose the Best Marketing Tactics for Your Business was great—especially for the time allowed. I really enjoyed the content, and found your Secret Formula for Choosing Effective Marketing Tactics very useful.” Billie Jane Ceesay – Breedt Production Tooling & Design LLC “I really enjoyed your recent presentation on How to Choose the Best Marketing Tactics for Your Business was filled with lots of good info and examples. Your deliver was very down-to-earth, and you offered a useful reminder to focus in different directions, but also pay attention to what gets results.” Alice Pfaff - Seaprint “Stacy, I’ve really enjoyed attending your recent presentations. I just LOVE your upbeat energy, and you are clearly very knowledgeable about small business marketing. I’ve learned a lot from each of your workshops. Plus your confident delivery and sense of fun make hearing you speak a pleasure. I only wish there was some way to do a mind-meld and grab all the information in your brain for myself.” Vivian Valencia – Verity Credit Union "Thanks to your recent Website workshop, I finally know what NOT to do on (or in) my Website “storefront”. You talk was very easy to understand, not “over my head” information. You have a very good speaking voice for keeping everyone’s attention. The info was interesting and the time flew by—I never once looked at the clock”. Debby Way “Learning how to streamline information and make it attractive to visitors to my Website was really useful. And I especially enjoyed both the good and bad examples of other Websites. Thanks for the great ideas, I am eager to learn more.” Sarina Elliott – Chocolate Affair
