Testimonials:
"*THANK YOU* (a million times over) for being such a trusted source for just about everything!" "I can’t believe how much I
accomplished in such a short time! My freelance copywriting
business is successfully launched thanks to Ilise and her Marketing
Mentor program. In less than 5 months of her mentoring I
wrote and mailed my self-promotion sales letter; developed and executed
a self-promotion follow-up campaign; wrote a marketing plan; created a
web site; and launched a free monthly e-newsletter. Plus
I’ve got a contract with a new client for 7 projects; 2
others in the wings; and referrals coming in. My weekly calls
with Ilise chopped months if not years of low productivity time off the
front end of my business development. Not to mention all the
great ideas she gave me that I’m phasing in over
time. Ilise is a diamond mine of experience, insight, and
resources. It’s a dream partnering with
such a dynamic professional." "The recent conference I attended
wouldn't have gone so well if I hadn't done all the preliminary prep
work on my message, tagline, web site and sell sheets. I'm way more
focused than I ever was, in terms of my messaging and how I communicate
it. The pipeline is full and now I have to figure out to deliver. I
think we've created a Marketing Monster." "Ilise Benun’s solid,
thoughtful and “cut to the chase” advice has been
so helpful in getting my business going, it’s hard to
quantify. She brings objective, generous, non-competitive, and focused
advice to the table on a regular basis. It’s amazing how much
of a difference this has made for me in my approach to building my
business and my confidence." "I have to admit I was skeptical about
what value you could add to developing my business when we first
started. I’m no longer skeptical. You
played an enormous role in getting me to where I am today ... paying
job assignments, giving me a sense of confidence and control about
moving my business forward, a feeling that I can reach any of my
goals. You helped turn the vision of my business into a
reality. I really feel now I couldn’t have done it
without you or at least I’d be so much farther behind than
where I am today. You not only gave me the prodding to get things
moving, but you gave me incredibly effective tools and venues and
approaches to making it all work. THANK YOU!" "I am timid, shy, and
non-assertive, but with Ilise Benun's guidance and advice, I have been
able to overcome my natural tendencies and earn millions of dollars in
my own business."

"Without your efforts I wouldn't be
this busy. This is a product of your success with me. You've changed my
mindset, and it only took 6 months. Self promotion is always
top of mind for me now."

"I think working with you has been one
of the best things I have done! I learn something new each week to help
my business grow." "One of the things I value you most
about working with you has been your ability to help me find
G.Scott!Design's brand voice." "Having been in marketing most of my
career, I thought I knew a thing or two about marketing, but you've
provided a new source of inspiration. It's really liberating to look at
my own marketing from another perspective. Thanks again!" "I am thrilled with what we're doing.
It's money well spent." "I find your service so
valuable especially I am in business for myself. It's great to have a
sounding board and someone to guide me. It's an essential part of my
business. You can quote me on that." "You are SO GOOD at what you do. I was
feeling so overwhelmed that I nearly canceled our session, thinking
that I would simply waste your time because of my lack of preparation.
But I’m very glad I didn’t. You forced me to move
my marketing forward. You dragged me kicking and screaming to my
website, and now, five hours later, I’ve sent the changes to
my web designer, along with the instructions for putting the site live.
Thank you so very much."
Mistina Bates, marketing consultant and copywriter, www.marketitwrite.com "I was a little skeptical at first, but
since I started Marketing Mentor, I've never looked back. We finished
my web site together and now it gets rave reviews. Plus, I've picked up
3 new clients in the last month alone!" "When I began the Marketing Mentor
Program with Ilise two years ago, I had no previous experience in
marketing. Today, as a result of our work together, I have been able to
get over thirty meetings with prospective clients for our company, I
have also been responsible for bringing in eleven new projects. Her
help has been invaluable to me and has allowed me to learn as I go. I
highly recommend her Marketing Program to anyone needing to learn or
improve their marketing skills." "The Marketing Mentor program has
shown me new perspectives and new avenues for getting and retaining
clients. One result is that I am more comfortable talking to people in
any setting, both those I have never met and recent acquaintances.
Also, I have developed the habit of participating regularly in Chamber
of Commerce functions, where I have met many businesspeople (even got a
job), and was recently called in to the Chamber for a portfolio review.
Third, I think my writing has improved and I learned how to gain the
reader's interest and be more succinct in e-mails, e-letters, and
articles for publication. Plus, the regular phone conferences helped to
keep me on track. Thanks for your personalized program. You went above
and beyond the Marketing Mentor contract."
Susan Mathews, www.stillwater-studio.com
"I really appreciate the help and the
guidance you gave me. I think just overcoming the initial inertia of
marketing myself was a big accomplishment. Now, I have the tools. In
addition, you helped me get a handle on pricing my work. Now all I have
to do is work with the tools you gave me and showed me how to use. If
anyone is looking for 'tools of the marketing trade', I'm going to
point them to you. Thank you so much." "You got me out the bad working habits
and into much better ones.” “Working with my marketing mentor has helped me focus on my business. I created a new identity and am in the process of finalizing my website. It’s wonderful to have someone who is so full of ideas and inspiration for business growth.” "One good idea from my mentor, Ilise Benun, paid the fee five times over and probably will land me a spot on the Today Show. That's what I call leverage!" "In the email advertising her 3-Month Marketing Plan Group, Ilise Benun outlined a very ambitious agenda and promised that anyone willing to do the work would accomplish everything on the list. I figured if I only learned how to get comfortable making cold calls, I would have gotten more than my money’s worth. As the class got going, I discovered that Ilise intended to stick to her promise. I did the work, learned how to make cold calls easily, efficiently and happily … and so much more! I totally recommend Ilise and her Marketing Plan Group to you!" "Thanks for all your advice these last couple of months! It was really helpful to get permission from someone other than myself to set limits with clients. The 'scope creep' advice helped immensely, and it felt so good to say, "This is beyond the scope" and be paid for the extra work." "I am getting more of the work I want, passing on the work I don't want. But the most important result is that I have found the process of marketing to be a creative outlet." "Thanks again for your help. I'm so excited! I've been working towards this for the past few months and now it's about to happen, yeah! "My revenue has increased 30% since I started Marketing Mentor. Ilise worked with me to strengthen my skills and build my confidence. Now I know exactly how to identify a lead, respond quickly, and close the deal. "I was very pleased with your presentation on networking during "We had nothing but rave reviews about your program. People liked your down-to-earthedness and everyone picked up practical tips." "I really look forward to your tips and cannot wait to hear what you have to say each time — they are always so insightful ..." "Your online newsletter is absolutely terrific. You combine extremely valuable content with style and personality. Fabulous job!"
