Get Known Now Testimonials

"Suzanne is a business professional's dream come true. "
	"I took Suzanne's class to help with the repositioning of our company and redesign of our web site.  One of the most helpful parts was her expertise in learning how to market our business electronically (how to promote the web site, how to make sure search engines are your friend, how to tag articles and "freebies" to drive traffic, how to put together a great media kit - to name a few). I was impressed and helped tremendously by her access to high quality resources. Suzanne's resources saved me invaluable time and money while improving the quality of the final product immensely.  If you only have one thing you can invest in this year - I highly recommend that investment be in this class." -- Kathryn Jackson, Response Design Corporation www.ResponseDesign.com

"I am meeting an editor of a magazine with a 800,000 circulation here in the UK – just part of the impact of working with Suzanne!"
	"As an established entrepreneur I knew it would take a red-hot coach to help me raise the bar even further as I create my newest platform. Suzanne is like a pocket dynamo – working with her means my focus is sharp & momentum sustained. Next week I am meeting an editor of a magazine with a 800,000 circulation here in the UK – a feature on me as a business-mother is planned for the New Year – just part of the impact of working with Suzanne!" - Danusia Malina-Derben www.lifewizards.com

"Suzanne knows what she’s talking about and I highly recommend listening to her!"
	"Before I started working with Suzanne I was so frustrated with my business that I was ready to give it all up. Suzanne’s consulting turned that around for me. She’s helped me gain greater clarity in all areas of my business -- and through her brilliant copywriting talent, Suzanne has shown me how to turn my website into a marketing tool instead of a bunch of pages with words on it. " -- Linda Salazar www.awakenthegeniewithin.com

"Within weeks, I saw my creativity explode, target market become crystal clear and marketing productivity increase tenfold."
	Before I enrolled in Suzanne's class, I had a vague idea that I wanted to build my brand and play bigger in my business and the world.  But I had many questions, some anxieties and a very fuzzy sense of who my target market really was.  The combination of Suzanne's extremely down-to-earth and genuine demeanor, personal guidance and exceptional materials make this program worth its weight in gold.  Thank you Suzanne and keep up the great work! -Pamela Stewart, www.escapefromcubiclenation.com

"In the first five minutes of our consulting session, Suzanne was able to concisely sum up my brand and vision – something I’d been struggling with for months."
	"Being able to objectively look at yourself and your business is one of the hardest parts of marketing. I know – as a copywriter and marketing professional I do it all the time for my clients. So when it came time to brand myself, I took my own advice and hired a professional for help – Suzanne Falter-Barns.  I highly recommend her. " - Michele Pariza Wacek, www.theartistsoul.com

 

"Suzanne help me double my mailing list in just two months! It's at 4800 and still growing!"
	As far as Suzanne Falter-Barns' consulting goes, I will let the numbers speak for themselves... my site is currently ranked 122,746 ... out of three and one half billion world wide! I get nearly 7,000 visitors per day, and more than a million paper toys have been downloaded. Thanks to Suzanne’s promotional help my children’s book illustration career has really taken off! I am currently working on my third book! Thanks, Suzanne! - Marilyn Scott-Waters www.thetoymaker.com

" After only three classes, I've taken more initiative and action in my business than I have in the last ... well, let's just say in a very long time."
	I am currently taking Suzanne's Platform Push program and I'm thrilled at what's happened so far. Having access to Suzanne's experience and in-depth knowledge has had me feeling like I've been blessed by the "Creativity Fairy". I have no doubt that as a result of taking this program and working with Suzanne, I will create and sustain an inspirational and successful business online.  - Lisa Evans www.playful-spirit.com

“My new site has given me incredible credibility!”
	“When I send the media or a potential speaking venue to the site, they are always impressed. And, now when a prospective client calls, they hire me 95% of the time, because the website has given them an opportunity to get to know me, before they pick up the phone.” - Lin Schreiber, www.RevolutionizeRetirement.com

“Suzanne’s consulting has helped me to identify ways to really express myself and my passion!”
	Carole L. Billingham, www.wisdomcoach.com

"You have really made me think bigger and with more clarity than I ever have before."
	"Suzanne -- It’s amazing…you have been pushing me each week to dig down for my real message…my true self…I have worked with several coaches and they all have helped me move to another level…which has been great; but what you have done is really rattled me and made me think…'What is my message here?'  "Last night I got out of bed at 1 am and started writing.  All the things we have been working on seem to be falling into place.  It’s so exciting!  Thanks so much for helping me find my voice. -Katana Abbott, www.smartwomenscoaching.com
