Small Business Consulting Testimonials

When I started working with Karyn as my coach, she asked me “Are you sure you can handle all the new business that will come your way?”

I was a bit skeptical when she made that comment, but she was right! I’ve hired an assistant and am also looking for additional support to effectively manage my business at this new level.

Since we began this process in early February I’ve jumped from 8 clients to 23 paying clients — with 8 prospective client inquiries this past week! I believe the combination of the new websites we designed together and the marketing planning work you had me do is what made the difference. Thanks!

As an experienced psychotherapist with a thriving private practice, I felt I already knew a fair amount about running a business. However, in my efforts to transition to a focus on professional speaking, I was lost. With Karyn, I’ve had dozens of a-ha! moments, where she’s offered ideas that seemed so simple, and yet were stunningly practical and helpful. In fact, from our very first consultation, I’ve been quite literally blown away by the power, passion and practicality of what she offers.

In every single conversation, I am challenged not only to believe in the power of my own possibility but to give form and structure to what had only been ideas and dreams before. Having her as an accountability partner helps keep me on track. Having access to the resources and experience she carries around in her head has been an invaluable business tool. Having her understand what I care most about has been reaffirming. Having her believe in me has been empowering.

I am clearer than I’ve ever been about my own purpose in life: that of encouraging and empowering women and girls in every way I can. Karyn has done that very thing for me, and with her continued help, I hope to do the same for others. I am better for knowing her, and for that, I am very, very grateful.

We’ve always struggled with getting organized around our brand position and message. Karyn gave us enormous confidence around how strong our brand could be and identified the tactics to build better brand awareness. She added tremendous value in everything from the challenge of naming our company, to how to ensure that we were viewed as authorities in our space. This allowed us to demonstrate our expertise and drive more sales. Karyn helped our consulting business focus where and how to invest our energy – without her counsel, it’s hard to imagine where we would be now.

After struggling to develop a growth plan for my professional organizing business, I hired Karyn as my small business consultant. It wasn’t always an easy process, but now I have a very solid plan — and more importantly vision for myself and my business. Through the process, Karyn balanced support with direction and the ever-present thought-provoking question.

With her wealth of knowledge and her depth of experience, there was never a business question I had that she didn’t have an answer to. Thank You, Karyn.

We had a strategic plan in place but we were not effectively executing it. Karyn immediately focused us on our ideal target market and then gave us a solid game plan to begin to communicate client benefits instead of being ‘all about us.’

The result has been a first-class website that our clients and prospects connect with, and a marketing calendar that is sensible, affordable, and effective (including targeted direct mail and educational email broadcasts). Most importantly, we now have a method to consistently and persistently market to a more clear and profitable target market. I recommend Karyn’s no-nonsense, practical approach to help companies achieve the profitable, sustainable growth we all work so hard to achieve!
