"Donna
helps you create a truly effective marketing program tailored
specifically for your online service business."
I don't write many testimonials. Of
the ones I've written, this one – for Donna Gunter's coaching
services – is by far the easiest, and the one about which I can be
the most enthusiastic.
You can read books on how to market your website business (I've read
several). You can read newsletters and articles (I've read a ton of
them). All this information is very helpful as background
information. However, all the books, newsletters, and articles in
the world will fall short of taking you where you need to be.
This is because they lack the essential ingredients of focus and
follow-through… leaving you better informed generally, but
essentially stuck in a trial and error rut.
You need Donna's hands on approach – focused on the unique
requirements of your service business -- to tie together all the
marketing elements into a truly effective marketing program
tailored specifically for your business. And you need Donna's
expert guidance along the way as you execute this program.
We enthusiastically recommend Donna's expert advice and guidance.
She takes a sincere interest in your success. Adding Donna to
your team will be the best decision you'll ever make for the
success of your website business.

"Donna
is an invaluable consultant for business owners looking to learn a
lot of online information quickly."
There is a lot of information
available on Internet Marketing, but I found it overwhelming and
confusing to put together a strong marketing-oriented website, and
most particularly how to go about publishing an online newsletter.
After reading each and every one of Donna's articles, I decided to
hire her as a coach for my online business.
Donna's open and patient coaching style was perfect for me, and I
found it easy to find the direction I wanted to go in with my
business after just a few sessions. Donna is an invaluable
consultant for business owners looking to learn a lot of online
information quickly.
Donna will keep you focused and moving forward. Her passion, energy,
great sense of humor, and effort to go above and beyond are
refreshing.
She is very professional, highly focused, and extremely
knowledgeable, and she is truly generous when it comes to
sharing a lot of information with her clients.
I would not hesitate to rehire Donna in the future to help me with
my online store business.

"Donna is teaching me
how to 'show up' in all my Internet marketing and branding as my
authentic self."
Donna Gunter has been
coaching me for only 3 months and I've made more progress toward
developing my Internet presence than in the last 6! She has
helped me clarify my unique, personal brand and identify my target
market in a profession that has become so popular over the last few
years it is becoming very difficult to stand out from the crowd.
Prior to coaching with Donna, I was running in a million different
directions. My marketing was ineffective, my website completely at
odds
with my target market (and my personality!), and I had several half
finished information products lying around. Donna immediately helped
me regroup and develop an action plan to address each challenge.
One of the most valuable coaching tools Donna has given me is
understanding the concept of repurposing the tons of information
I've collected over the years - so I'm not constantly
reinventing the wheel! She is teaching me how to "show up" in all
my Internet marketing and branding as my authentic self - and
that it is ok to do so!
Donna has connected me to some very valuable service professionals
to help me move the Internet portion of my business forward which
saves me the time and energy of trying to find virtual partners I
can trust. I joined her
membership site and purchased her wonderful book (Get
More Clients Online) as well. These great resources plus her one
on one coaching are a very powerful combination. I'm feeling much
more confident knowing exactly the direction my business is headed
thanks to Donna's straightforward, and incredibly savvy approach to
marketing my business on the Internet.
I highly recommend you contact her
before you waste any more money and time trying to figure it out on
your own!

"Donna challenged me
to raise my rates ... and still the clients keep coming!"
Donna has been my
business coach for over three months now and I am so amazed at my
own progress and focus! Donna, in essence, helped me see and
map out my direction. I know where I am going now.
Before working with Donna, I felt like I was floundering. I had
several business ideas, too much on my plate and not enough time to
dedicate to each aspect of my various business ventures. Since I
began coaching with Donna, I have really examined several areas in
my life and businesses that were not serving me any longer. Now, I
am able to create more boundaries, I can say no to things that do
not fit into my business/marketing pie and do not feel (too much)
guilt over it. I also have discovered my core passion which now
ties the four main areas of my business together very nicely.
I still have some work to do, but Donna helps me keep accountable to
me while I grow. She asks the tough questions and I know she's
helping me see the bigger picture. My business wouldn't be where it
is today if Donna didn't nudge me when I needed it most. She has
helped me stretch and I am attracting clients from all over the
place. I even raised my rates and still the clients keep
coming! I owe a lot to Donna for helping me see my own
potential.

"When you engage Donna as a coach, it's like hiring a team of
experts."
I was online doing my
usual thing - researching - when I came upon one of Donna's
articles, "7 Effective Strategies to Get More Clients Online." As I
was reading it, I thought "Wow, I really like what this lady says.
This is powerful stuff." So after reading the article, I wrote down
her website so that I could check it and her thinking out further.
And check out her website I did. I lurked there for quite a while,
appreciating the content of her articles more with each visit.
Finally, I decided to engage Donna as a coach for my online business
and it was a very intelligent business decision.
Donna's intellectual versatility, experience and resource base are
seamlessly blended together. Her great sense of humor and hearty
laugh are refreshing.
When you engage Donna as a coach, it's like hiring a team of
experts.

"My business increased by 40% in the first two weeks
of our work together!"
After being a Graphic Designer online
for 7 years I felt fortunate to be just making a living, unlike so
many others who have failed in their online business.
After doing some work for Donna, I decided to hire her to give me a
few pointers on how to make my online business a little more
profitable. I wasn't really expecting much, just hoping to glean a
couple of nuggets. I got much more than I had expected. Donna
shared with me a number of powerful yet simple strategies to
increase my client base that I had overlooked all these years.
After following her advice on just a couple of simple strategies,
my business increased by 40% in the first two weeks and I now
have some additional assets and strategies
to make my business grow even more.
Her energy is contagious and her focus on my needs as a client is
exceptional. I don't care how long you've been in business. If
you're running one or trying to
get one off the ground, Donna can help you make it even more
successful!

"My marketing is light years beyond where it would be if I had been
doing it alone."
With my 30+ years
of marketing experience, I hoped you would
help me execute what I thought were my brilliant
marketing ideas. Boy, was I in for a surprise! The incredible
number of teleclasses and conferences you attend each year to
always stay ahead of the curve, have taken my business beyond my
wildest expectations. You constantly bring me the best,
cutting-edge marketing ideas. Combine that with your non-stop
flow of brilliant ideas in our brainstorming sessions, and my
marketing is light years beyond where it would be if I had been
doing it alone.
Without your committed partnership, brilliant collaboration,
cherished friendship, and wonderful sense of humor, my business
and my life would be greatly diminished. Don't even think of
retiring before I do! :-)

"I figure that she has saved me at least 6 to 12 months
of barking up the wrong tree."
I have the dubious distinction of being the first of
Donna's clients to sign on for individual coaching strictly on the basis of
reading her newsletter, without having ever spoken to her personally, and can
tell you without reservation that if you like her newsletter you will *love*
her. The professionalism, knowledge, compassion and sense of humour and
adventure that are evident in her writing are genuine, and make for a very
productive and enjoyable coaching experience.
Donna has the good sense to recognize when a marketing problem is really a sign
of something else, and she has the breadth of experience and skill to move into
new territories as the coaching focus shifts (as it will when dealing with us
entrepreneurial-types since we tend to thrive on change and have so much going
on at any given time). I figure that she has saved me at least 6 to 12 months
of barking up the wrong tree in trying to decide which direction to take my
business, saving me huge amounts of time, money and energy that I can now put to
much better use.

Donna's class was most informative. She was always
well prepared and provided you with a wealth of information. The resources she
suggested were excellent and you also were able to gain resources from the other
participants on the call. It was a pleasure participating every week!! :)
_____________________________________________________________
I enjoyed the coaching sessions with Donna. She
really helped me see that I didn't need to be giving my services away in order
to attract clients and that I probably should be charging more. Over the next
few months I will be making some significant changes in my business, including a
new name, new website, new rates and terms, etc. and Donna has helped me realize
some of those things.

Donna rocks!!! Her business expertise challenged me
to *think* outside of the box. She helped me see options that I never imagined,
much less thought possible. She expertly evaluated my collateral materials and
made honest, helpful suggestions for improvement. Donna inspired me, which in
turn, motivated me to continue moving forward, never taking my eye off of the
desired end-result--SUCCESS! Her suggestions were always made with a kind and
gentle, but firm manner and complimented by her marvelous sense-of-humor!
_____________________________________________________________
Working with Donna has helped me tremendously in
prioritizing the choices I make in my life. She approached my situation with
questions designed to make me rethink the strategies I had set up for my future
and with her help, I have become more focused on the important issues in my
life. Working with Donna was the best decision I ever made. Thanks, Donna!

Based on Donna's experience, she was able to give me
some great suggestions about manning an exhibit table at a conference. She also
gave me great feedback about press releases and how to maximize exposure with
them. She pinpointed how I can use my enthusiasm to attract the right clients.
Donna recommended specific changes to my collateral material so that it will
stand out from the rest! She helped me to polish up my brochure and postcards
and gave me wonderful recommendations for my website. One of her competitive
strengths is her referring her clients to other specialists, links, and/or other
resources as her overall package! Her newsletters is packed with information
that you can sincerely use, not just paragraphs and paragraphs of text.
_____________________________________________________________
Throughout my coaching with Donna, I found her a
tremendous resource in the area of working online. She provides specific
suggestions in the areas of marketing, running a small business, technical
solutions and working from home, to name a few! She is extremely knowledgeable
and generously shares her knowledge and experience with her clients.
