Alex Mandossian
World-renowned electronic marketer, AlexMandossian.com
“I’ve just posted a review of the seminar marketing programme. It’s brilliant stuff. it’s really how to material, and the good thing is that it can be implemented in small segments. We saved $419 for a client based on a 10-second segment on printing. …I’ve really enjoyed it, and based on the CDs and the books, I’ve made lots of my customised notes for implementation.”
Tom “Bald Dog” Varjan
“Planning a seminar involves a LOT of stuff: Marketing strategies, writing ad copy, logistics, promotions via direct mail, email and websites; the list goes on and on. This is the first book I’ve seen that pulls ALL of this together into a coherent single plan, with a focus on true Guerrilla Marketing. Jenny’s formula for seminar marketing is in this book, and I wouldn’t want to do that job without it. She knows this game inside and out, and even the simplest of her recommendations will pay for the cost of her toolkit many times over.”

“Jenny Hamby’s critique of my seminar direct-mail flyer was a breath of fresh air. My goal is more people in the room and more dollars in my wallet. With Jenny’s ideas on word-choice, clarity and placement a marketing piece that is bringing a good response just got better. I recommend Jenny as someone who clearly understands the marketing of self-sponsored seminars.”
Linda Gabbert Keith, CPA, CSP
“I am incredibly impressed by Jenny Hamby and her enthusiasm, reliability and creativity. While I didn’t ask her to create my sales letter because I’m a writer myself (actually a journalist and author), I really needed a critique from her so that I could drastically improve my piece. Jenny was full of many, subtle, but professional, effective suggestions. She also zeroed right in on the softer, compassionate approach that I wanted to take and offered ideas that fit right into that mindset. If you want prompt, pleasant copyediting, you should hire Jenny now."

“If anyone ever says, ‘Why should I pay you so much,” tell them it is because you get it right the first time every time. And your work creates the right tone with the message, and that sells to clients.”
Pamela Wedgeworth
Managing Director, Wedgeworth Business Communications
“Your e-book is just too much. I have only practiced 10% and I am making so much money I have lost count. After our first seminar, we were noticed by a national government organisation who was impressed about our ‘30’ turnout. They asked us to come for money to perform our ‘magic’ all over the nation in 8 geopolitical zones. Secondly, we are planning the next seminar for July and we are already expecting 125 participants using your time-tested result-getting methods! You should asking for royalties of every seminar your book has spurn!!”
Olayinka Ayankogbe

“I have to make a confession. When I got on our call for your critique of my marketing materials, I expected you to spend our time selling me on your consulting services. I signed up anyway, thinking that I might be able to pick up a few tips for pitching services. Was I surprised when you delivered what you promised – a detailed, customized critique of my marketing materials. I have 3 pages of notes from our call – dozens of very specific suggestions that pointed to exactly what I’m doing in my marketing. I’m promoting 8 seminars this year, and I’m confident that I’m going to see increased registrations based on your ideas. This time was very well spent.”

“Jenny, you are awesome. Your seminar book has paid for itself many times over. We used your template for email seminar marketing and have had over 60 bookings out of 1 email to a list of 400 and now we are having to book people into future seminars as this seminar is at capacity. (In fact we were only expecting 30 bookings) We expect to net over $100,000 at of this seminar in the speaking, training and consulting that comes out of it. Talk about a great ROI! You are the bomb Jenny."

Anyone using seminars and workshops to promote their business must grab Jenny’s book and consume every piece of valuable information. It’s a must have!”
Craig Haskell

“Jenny, I just finished tearing through your How To Successfully Market Seminars and Workshops system, and WOW was it great. Not only was it well-designed, concise, and informative, but there were some key benefits I was NOT very familiar with. For instance, I thought your content on “post-registration” marketing in Chapter 11 was very important. Most people think once the sale’s over, then you job is done. As you know, nothing can be further from the truth. Also, even though I am an experienced marketer, the subject covered on pages 12 and 19, in your Bonus, “How To Build Your Mailing List From Scratch” your tips were DEAD ON, and in fact, represented the lion’s share of sales I made for my recent Maverick Marketers Mastermind Meeting. Lastly, your 29-Step Checklist is something I will definitely look at BEFORE I take my next website ‘live.’ Thanks for all your great suggestions!

“What a fabulous hour spent with Jenny. I was feeling frustrated and overwhelmed with marketing my wonderful seminar and I didn’t know where to turn. I had been to Jenny’s website, received her publications and decided to give her a try. I wasn’t disappointed. Not only was the hour chock-full of helpful information, she listened to my concerns and tailored the information to my specific needs. I didn’t feel like I was being “sold” to and that my concerns were legitimate, but there were viable solutions. I feel like I got the information I need to move forward and feel confident I have a place to go if I need more help.”

Jenny provided that and has been extremely helpful and professional with her advice and copywriting skills. Jenny helped write my sales page and the copy for an online video. Anyone looking for a professional counsel concerning online marketing and copywriting should take the time to talk personally with Jenny Hamby. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. I have loved working with her and plan to do so in the future. “

“’Absolutely amazing’ is what I have to say about your copywriting skills. Somehow you managed to get inside my head and write as though you were the expert in my field…. I tried this myself and ended up with a confusing site that left visitors bewildered. The good news about my disastrous attempt at copy writing is that it made me quite appreciative of your valuable talent.
Leslie Buterin

“Jenny Hamby knows how to promote seminars! Her direct-response copy and multi-channel marketing have generated average response rates of 10% for IWOC’s seminars, adding several thousand much-needed dollars to our coffers. She has been invaluable in promoting IWOC events. I highly recommend her services.”
Harry Karabel
Vice President, Independent Writers of Chicago, Chicago, IL
“Thank you so much for your time yesterday! You helped to confirm my current direction and provided the advice that I needed to move forward with confidence. Most notably, your humility and transparency is a refreshing breeze in this world of stifling self promotion and ‘look at me’ puffery. Our conversation gave me the sense that you genuinely care. You could have made $200 (or more) in the time that our conversation took, but instead you shared openly and held nothing back. As a result, Jenny Hamby ‘stock’ has just gone up in my eyes. The world needs more consultants like you Jenny! I feel like I have a new friend as well as colleague who I can trust to help me ensure my clients’ success.
David Polczynski
