WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US

"Our firm, which had no formal marketing program before we engaged you to help us, has benefited from a heightened awareness of the need to market, how to do it, and the desirability of teamwork for marketing. You also helped us stress our focus on initiatives in particular practice niches, which have much greater potential than we were realizing.

For me personally, while I have had substantial success in business generation before working with you, your efforts have led to considerably more action in making and using my contacts for new business. It has paid off. In addition, you have been instrumental in getting us media attention for one of my niche areas, "business divorce," which immediately had the phone ringing.

You have also pushed us as a partnership toward discussing important management issues we had tended to avoid. We continue to have these discussions."

Thank you for your time and professionalism."

"I need to send Larry another $100 just because having Phyllis Weiss Haserot on this listserve would be worth doubling the price. I don't know where I'd be today had I not had The Rainmaking Machine on my desk at all times."

I think it helped the Shareholders understand the asociates a little better., , , I think you're right though, they're not retiring at age 65, so we better figure out how to all get along. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise."
