“I was stuck and didn’t really know who my target client was.”
Before working with Wendy, I was stuck and didn’t know how to find my niche. I had a website and company name but I didn’t really understand who my target market was or how to reach them. Wendy really pushed me to think about my business and how important it was to market it the correct way. Because of this I knew that the business needed a makeover so I could attract my ideal client Wendy really stretched me; and with her guidance, I did my homework and now I feel like my business is moving forward. I’ve created a whole new company identity and I finally feel that I’m making process. I was surprised at the results I achieved and recommend that aspiring planners and anyone in the creative business that feels stuck or need direction in terms of business and marketing to hire Wendy.

“Once I spoke to Wendy, I wasn’t skeptical at all”
Once I spoke to Wendy, I wasn’t skeptical about hiring her to coach and mentor me. Plus, I met her in person and that really put me at ease. I had no idea where to start when I decided to launch my business last year. Since deciding to work with Wendy, she is guiding me throughout my business setup…helping me with forms, how to work with my brides, marketing, etc. It’s actually been very easy since she’s shown me what to do. The coaching has been worth every penny! Cristina Perry Cristina Perry Events Atlanta, GA www.cristinaperry.com

“I felt comfortable with Wendy’s services because she is compassionate about helping others!”
One thing struck me about Wendy…she’s very knowledgeable about my needs as an event planner and a business owner because she’s been there. I am very gun shy on taking risks in business and I wanted more confidence when dealing with corporate clients. I was facing some fear in things surrounding my business and I also needed some guidance on money management. As a new entrepreneur, I continue to be excited about working with Wendy as she coaches me to the next level. Her deep knowledge of marketing, planning and finance has helped me make sound decisions and better judgments. As a friend and a coach, I got the best of both worlds. I am most surprised by how versatile Wendy is. She has helped me in so many areas…marketing, management, etc. I love how she shows genuine concern for your life. There aren’t a lot of people in her field that are as focused on the client as she. She gives the business of coaching a good name! I recommend her program to anyone who has issues with balancing the full plate that we call life! It’s very important that you have someone to help you put everything in perspective before it gets overwhelming and too much to bear.

“Wow Wendy, I loved it!”
Your answer to my question about building my list was spot on! I do network a lot but I wanted to start a list as a solid way to keep top of mind with prospects while I organize other details of the business. Knowing it all doesn’t have to be my own experience frees me so much. So thanks for that. The advice about offering vendors what you already know was priceless. Just like you said, when I meet a vendor and we ‘click’, I tend to get all excited and tell them how I’m just starting out and all. Follow up was again difficult because I felt I had nothing to offer. But I have a lot and now I know that. I wasn’t able to make the call only because of the long distance charges. Africa is quite some distance from America! But I really appreciate that you sent all of us the audio file! I was surprised that a lot of other participants didn’t make it either. That said, it was a small cozy number of people and felt like we were all sitting round a table together. I like how it was organized because I knew exactly when my question was going to be answered so it was easy to relax. I also like how you summarized what was covered on the call in the email. Best of all, I loved hearing from other planners. Some of my other questions got answered through them and it feels good knowing you are not the only one trying to grow. It was absolutely great. Every single question was wonderful and every answer lit light bulbs in my head Thanks a mil! Lisa Okoli Aspiring Planner Nigeria, West Africa www.linkedin.com/in/lisaokoli
