What Wendi's coaching clients, customers and members are saying ...
| RAVE REVIEW |
"Wendi
gives without measure. In my dealings with professionals, I’ve never
found anyone like her. Once you are her client, it’s “no holds barred”
“I have used Wendi as a coach for my speaking business for
the last two months. And, I say without any reserve: She is exemplary at what she does. What a
formula for success (mine as well as hers). First, she is extremely
knowledgeable about her area and shares so much information in our talks and
follow-up e-mails, it takes me several hours just to catch up."

"I received above and beyond superior service"
If you are writing a book I highly recommend Charli Jane. I
received above and beyond superior service. They kept me informed about the
development of my book trailer, their services were affordable, reliable, and
professional and they were very kind. I intend on using their services again!
The book trailer exceeded my expectations and was excellent, everyone
loved the music, creativity and the great job by Charli Jane. Once again, I
highly recommend them to anyone, they are truly gifted individuals!

 "I have been working with Wendi in her Coaching
program and am getting results that would have taken me forever to achieve."
"Since
October 2005 I have been sitting on a gold mine receiving and reading but not
acting on Charli Jane’s ezine. I am very glad subscribed. They say when the
student (me) is ready the teacher will appear and it took this student two years
to realize that the teacher was right in her inbox. I have been working with
Wendi in her Coaching program and am getting results that would have taken me
for ever to achieve. Not only is she extraordinary in helping me focus on my
goals but gives incredible advice, tips and direction. She is the perfect guide
to help me take ACTION."
"If you are sitting on the fence like I did about hiring Wendi, don’t. If you
need help growing your speaking business and building a stronger platform I
highly recommend and encourage you getting in touch with Wendi, you will be glad
you did!"

 "Charli Jane Speaker Services isn’t just a good value, it's a GREAT value!"
“I
joined the Get Found Now monthly club in 2008. As a
national workshop presenter and keynote speaker, I needed a trustworthy and
timely source for potential speaking leads. I was impressed with Wendi's weekly
listing of paid and gratis (no honorarium, but tons of publicity for anyone new
to the speaking circuit) national and international speaking leads. I found the
Website to be user-friendly. A special bonus to the subscription was the
personalized emails that Wendi sent to me whenever there was a "call for speaker
proposal" in my field of expertise.

 "Under
your coaching I am feeling very focused and have been able to break my goals
down into small steps. You have been a godsend!"
“When I came to you I felt like I was going in a hundred different directions.
With each small step taken I have gained confidence to go further. When I get
excited about a step taken you get excited as well and that lets me know I'm
headed in the right direction."
"Wendi you have been great at listening to my ideas and helping me expand on them.
Your compassion is uplifting, and it has been like chatting with an old friend.
Thank you and bless you."

"18 Days from concept to
confirmation!"
“My
partner Michelle and I were discussing our desire to be heard and increase our
speaking engagements to promote our products and services.
With that notion, I decided to research a few agencies and found Charli
Jane Speaker Services. We joined and
created our profiles within 24 hours.
Michelle began browsing the member listings and with excitement told me
to quickly do the same. I found an
opportunity to present my High Impact Presentation DVD in
Reno
at the Western Business Education Association conference.
18 Days later I was booked for multiple talks throughout the weekend.
All of this was made possible thanks to Charli Jane!
We’ll be forever grateful to this fantastic customer service oriented
organization! "

career!"
"Shortly after I joined Charli Jane's Get Found Now monthly membership, I saw a listing in the Speaker Leads
section for
someone to conduct a workshop that was aimed at one of my target markets on a

 "Wendi gave me an easy plan to build my speaking platform."
"Wendi
can be counted on for precision, professionalism, and being on point. When I
started working with Wendi I felt like I was caught in a maze, filled with
overwhelm, and I simply wasn’t sure which actions to take first in regards to
growing my business as a speaker. She gave me an easy plan to build my platform,
is priceless with her help on my web copy, and did I mention she is enjoyable to
work with too?"
"Thanks Wendi. I look forward to working with you for a long time."

I have made in my professional speaking journey thus far."

 "Your service is incredible and your customer service superb. Your work made for
a great business decision."
"I
recently submitted a request for the National Association of Realtors for the
2009 Signature Series. I received the bid and will be a feature speaker next
year. While I needed to discount my fee by 20 percent the issues of no marketing
and all announcements considered made this an easy choice. Your service is
incredible and your customer service superb. Your work made for a great business
decision. Bless you!!!"

 "It is so rare to find any service provider these days who provides as much
personal attention and professional TLC as Wendi does."
"Anyone
who is serious about professional speaking should get in touch with Wendi
McNeill. I have been working with Wendi for several months and she has already
given me wonderful advice and tips on how to market my book and myself as a
speaker. I feel like Wendi is a friend I have known for years and years."
"A person can get very isolated trying to figure out things for themselves in
this business. Wendi helps me focus on what’s most important. It is so rare to
find any service provider these days who provides as much personal attention and
professional TLC as Wendi does. She is prompt, dependable, wise, fun to talk to
and I always know she has my best interests at heart. I feel so lucky to be
working with Wendi."
