Hi ~Contact.FirstName~,

I won't keep you in suspense... we WON!

Last Friday evening, we were named Diverse Supplier of the Year (Class 1) by the Western Region Supplier Diversity Council! We are so honored and so excited that our 9+ years of supporting small business, especially those with a diverse background, has been recognized.

Invitation

Our client Nino Campos, Oracle's Supplier Diversity Manager and I
celebrating our award!

Already doors of opportunity are flying open. We've received an invitation for a prestious business training program at Washington State University, two other award winning businesses have offered mentorship opportunities to us and we're submitting an application for the National Diverse Supplier of the Year award.

What I really appreciate most about this experience though.... is YOU!

Becuase of you, and the hundreds of other entrepreneurs that we have worked with since 2006, we've gained priceless expertise and experience in helping small businesses to succeed. Without you, there would be no us and we wouldn't be where we are today.

So ~Contact.FirstName~ THANK YOU. Thank you for allow us to serve you and be a part of your entrepreneurial experience. Wil and I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

Your partner in success,

Sydni Craig-Hart

How to Gather Fabulous Testimonials About Your Work Without Feeling Uncomfortable

by Sydni Craig-Hart

click 'Display Images' at the top of your InboxDoesn’t it feel great to receive commendation for the work you do? There’s nothing better than knowing you’ve truly made a difference in someone’s life or business and have helped them reach a new level of success.

Even better than your personal feelings is the fact that receiving positive feedback from your clients creates social proof for prospective clients. This is one of the reasons websites like YELP are so popular. Like it or not, the folks who are considering hiring you are going to details about what it’s like to work with you.

Most professionals I know don’t feel comfortable flat out asking for feedback and a testimonial. Perhaps that is true of you. If so, you’ll be happy to know you can easily circumvent any uncomfortable feelings by having a system in place to regularly collect testimonials from your clients.

Here’s how you do it:
