Testimonials

Carol is absolutely unstoppable when it comes to getting the word out about your organization.  In a few short months, she was able to put together -- single handedly! -- a better run, better attended screening of our movie than we had been able to achieve with our entire team, even when we were working with established festivals.  And she did it three times!  With first-rate press coverage!  By the time she was done, we had not only promoted our film, we had performed invaluable community outreach all across the state, raised a pile of money for a charity we supported, and been given audience with the Governor to discuss the issues at stake.  Amazing.  Simply amazing.  My whole company is in awe of her achievements and would recommend her enthusiastically to anyone.  If you have the chance to get her on your team, take it.  You'll be the better for it.

I took the URPR course three years ago and it has changed the way I market my business. I now think publicity vs. advertising. We have had numerous Simply Music articles in the paper, a Simply Music segment on Channel 7 News, news releases, pictures in the papers, etc.The media is my friend needs to be your mantra. I willingly share my knowledge with other business owners and direct them to Carol's workshops. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your gift and passion with the world.�

"Carol, thank you so much for coming today. I have heard so many positive things from my managers today after you talked with them. I have heard you twice now and enjoyed it both times. Your ideas hit home for any business when it comes to customer service and networking. Some of my managers are new and need that kind of reinforcement. I talk about it all the time and then when an outside speaker comes in and says the same things, it only makes it better and more meaningful. I would like you to come back again and talk more about these topics. Thanks!"

Not only did you provide hundreds of immediately applicable ideas for how to promote my business, but you delivered them with such enthusiasm and sincerity that I couldn't wait to start taking the actions you promote. Because I see that all of your tips are based on years of experience and research, and come directly from your experience building your own business, I know they work, and I feel empowered. Thank you for sharing your expertise and your passion. You are an inspiration to anyone looking to take their business to the next level!"
