“.. in just six months, I attracted 10 new clients, 4 new Joint Venture relationships and increased my subscriber list by 250 people.”

“I chose to work with Sydni Craig-Hart as my business and marketing coach because I felt that she listened very well to my challenges and addressed them specifically. As we worked together I grew to appreciate that Sydni is not only a talented business consultant, but she really cares about you. Working with Sydni has helped me in so many ways. She advised me on hiring a Virtual Assistant and how best to work with my new VA, which has been a huge help my business. She helped me with keeping a positive, focused mindset, developing important joint venture relationships, and staying on task with the most important, income-producing activities. Sydni is highly knowledgeable about marketing and she’s very good at keeping you on task and staying organized, which I love.

As a result of our work together, I exceeded my revenue goal of $100,000 for 2010 (my final gross revenue was $120K, of which $35K was a direct result of Sydni’s coaching.) In addition, in just six months, I attracted 10 new clients, 4 new Joint Venture relationships and increased my subscriber list by 250 people. Investing in myself and my business by coaching with Sydni more than paid for itself, in fact, I made back 6x my investment!

Working with Sydni was one of the smartest business decisions I made last year. She helped me increase my efficiency, kept me on track and gave me excellent advice for nurturing joint venture relationships which will last a lifetime.
I can’t recommend her enough!”

Karen Everett, Founder & CEO, New Doc Editing – San Francisco, CA

“…Her work has helped me expand my offerings, boost my bottom line and gain confidence for what’s possible in my business. THANK YOU SYDNI!”

“Although I’m exceptionally organized and very much a planner, my background and skill sets are not in the marketing and sales elements of business. Given that, I’ve been really fortunate in my business that I’ve had a pretty steady stream of clients come my way over the years. I wish I could say that this was due to a well-thought out, planned, and implemented marketing plan – but it wasn’t. My approach had been “try everything and see what sticks” method of marketing – an expensive way to approach building a business, to be sure. I knew there had to be a better way – and I needed help finding it.

After doing some research, I hired a marketing and sales firm who promised to dramatically grow my business. After reviewing the marketing plan they prepared for me, I was skeptical. They had not listened to my goals or concerns, and instead created a plan based on where THEY thought I should take my business. The expensive and hype-filled marketing tactics they had me spend money and time on never panned out, and I was left feeling frustrated and angry. Thousands upon thousands of dollars later, I had nothing to show for my investment in the firm and their methods. It would have been great if they were an expensive firm and I’d achieved great results – unfortunately, they were a costly waste.

I knew I still needed help with my marketing, but I was pretty hesitant to hire another marketing firm after that initial less-than stellar experience. It was going to take someone special for me to want to work with an outside marketing consultant again. I found that someone in Sydni Craig-Hart and Smart Simple Marketing.

Sydni and I had been in each other’s orbit for awhile, and after finally meeting in person, I knew that we were going to have a great relationship. I decided to hire Sydni to work with me, and have been nothing but thrilled with both how she and her team work and the results of all of our efforts!

One of the many things that I really appreciate about Sydni is that both she, and the marketing tactics that she recommends, are completely hype-free. Instead of hype and fluffy language, Sydni helps make sure that my marketing represents me and my business in ways that feel completely authentic. No fluff, just real messaging that both I and my target market can relate to. From redesigning my branding to sending out a single email, Sydni helps to ensure that my marketing is consistent, credible, and most importantly, that it fits.

A side benefit of working with Sydni is that she encourages me to stretch what I think are my boundaries in relation to how I’ve structured my services, what my offerings can be, and how I can price the services that my company offers. She’ll challenge my assumptions, and in the end, she’s usually right! As a direct result of Sydni’s good advice, here’s a sampling of what we’ve accomplished:

• Created a new stream of revenue by launching my first info product
• Added hundreds of subscribers to my mailing list
• Completely repackaged my services so that clients are better served AND my cash flow is improved at the same time
• Generated thousands of dollars in revenue from six new clients who have signed up for my new packages
• Underwent a complete branding overhaul – including logo and website
• Built-out my social media presence in a way that feels useful to my audience and natural to me
• Given many teleseminars and speaking engagements which have helped boost my profile as an expert

What the results don’t say is how much fun it is to work with Sydni. Marketing is not my passion, but it is Sydni’s – and her energy is contagious. I genuinely look forward to our consulting calls and ALWAYS get a ton of value out of them. I won’t lie – there’s work involved in implementing my marketing plan, and I usually have plenty of homework. That said, the plan is broken down into manageable steps that I and my team can accomplish, and if there’s ever a problem, Sydni’s there to help us through in a way that makes sense and keeps things light.

I honestly can’t imagine how I’d be growing my business without Sydni and her team. Her work has helped me expand my offerings, boost my bottom line, gain confidence for what’s possible in my business. THANK YOU SYDNI!”

Joshua Zerkel, CEO, Custom Living Solutions – San Francisco, CA

“Sydni is confident, knowledgeable, completely capable, and self‐directed. She always seems to go beyond what is expected. Her experience and confidence has saved me a lot of time and helped me grow my business in ways that I could not do alone.”

“Sydni is confident, knowledgeable, completely capable, and self‐directed. She always seems to go beyond what is expected. Her experience and confidence has saved me a lot of time and helped me grow my business in ways that I could not do alone. Since I’ve been working with Sydni on marketing my business, I’ve learned about resources that I didn’t know existed, and this allowed me to start a new program that I had been toying with for years (but couldn’t figure out how to do). That one program generated over $20,000 in revenue in just four weeks. A second program Sydni helped me to create earned me $45,000! And we’re getting ready to launch a new program that will bring in at least $5,000 per month. In working with her, I am able to promote new ideas and services quickly. I am held accountable for ideas that would possibly go unfinished without her.

I am so glad I decided to invest in Sydni ‐ even though I was afraid to spend the money. Now that I did it, I would absolutely suggest that if someone is serious about growing their business, they need to hire someone with Sydni’s experience, knowledge, and personality. Anything less could be a waste of money and time. Every time I talk to Sydni, I feel relief. She has a way of taking any overwhelm away. She always seems to have the solutions. Sydni has lifted me up to the position of CEO of my company. My mindset has changed, and my income is reflecting it!”

Nika Stewart, Founder, Wealthy Decorators – Freehold, NJ

“…my newsletter subscriptions tripled and I launched my first coaching program, which brought in about $6,000, up from zero.”

“I chose to work with Sydni because of her laser-like focus on implementation and sales. Unlike other coaches I’ve worked with, she offers very specific and practical advice to help jumpstart new products, services and businesses. Sydni is an excellent coach — personable, practical and professional. She brings a high-level of expertise and enthusiasm to the table to help her clients thrive.

Because of my work with Sydni, my new my newsletter subscriptions tripled and I launched my first coaching program, which brought in about $6,000, up from zero. I would not have launched my newsletter, teleseminar series or coaching programs without her guidance and support. She helped me earn thousands of dollars in new revenue. I truly enjoyed working with Sydni and would highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to abandon old habits to pursue bigger business dreams.”

Maya Payne Smart, Founder, Writing Coach Pro – Richmond, VA

“Your coaching is very action oriented, which is one of the things I asked for.”

“You’re very good! Very good! I’ve coached for a long time in different arenas, but this is what I’ve been looking for. Your coaching is very action oriented, which is one of the things I asked for. You are trying to understand what I’m doing and trying to do. It’s synergistic. Not where you have a particular program and you’re trying to fit me through some process that you’ve developed. You’re standing in my shoes, which is want I wanted. Thank you!”

“I chose to work with Sydni Craig-Hart to support my marketing strategy because of her incredible depth of knowledge, her enthusiasm and her professionalism.”

“I chose to work with Sydni Craig-Hart to support my marketing strategy because of her incredible depth of knowledge, her enthusiasm and her professionalism. She is wonderful to work with. She always comes to our phone meetings with energy, a gently get-it-done whip as well as shows great care for what is happening personally to her clients. It’s a rare treat to have someone who cares not only about you as a business person, but as a human being as well.

One of the major benefits I have received from working with Sydni Craig-Hart is her ORGANIZATION. Her drive to make MY company better is inspirational. My clients are now getting consistent attention from me which is turning into more money. Her ideas on how to market and sell have also benefited me.

My experience in working with Sydni on my online marketing strategy has been AMAZING. I can honestly say I would not be as motivated, organized or have so much earning potential if it was not for Sydni. Her consistency, professionalism and energy make me great. I would be still struggling, wondering how to consistently market if it were not for her professionalism and expertise. I feel like I am leap years ahead in my marketing because of her amazing skill set.

Because of my work with her, in less than eight weeks, I landed 5 new clients, earned over $8,000 in revenue, nearly doubled my subscriber list and launched my first paid teleseminar series! Her strategies REALLY work and her support makes ALL the difference!”

Kim Hamer, Founder, Get Into Private School – Marina Del Ray, CA

“The speed of execution is probably the biggest benefit I’ve received from working with you on my marketing efforts.”

“Initially I was drawn to your technical knowledge and experience with things like 1ShoppingCart, squeeze/sales pages, etc. I needed someone to handle all those kinds of aspects of my business.

But I quickly realized that you really good at being strategic about online marketing. It’s clear that you stay abreast of all the latest technology and work to understand how they can benefit your clients’ businesses. You have a lot of great ideas and never hesitate to explain how we can do things better. That’s a great boon to me.

The speed of execution is probably the biggest benefit I’ve received from working with you on my marketing efforts. Having you take over a lot of technical aspects has sped things up so much. There are a lot of things I could do myself but it would take me 3 times as long. I also appreciate the fact that you have your own network of vendors that I can tap into, which again brings me speed so I can finish projects quicker than if I had to go myself to find designers, copywriters, etc.”

Carmen Van Kerckhove, President, New Demographic – New York, NY

“What really impressed me was her ability to take that knowledge and apply it to my business creating customized strategies to get me in front of my ideal clients and close business.”

“It was very clear upon first meeting Sydni that she has vast knowledge of online, email and social media marketing as well as traditional forms of marketing like PR and press releases. But what really impressed me was her ability to take that knowledge and apply it to my business creating customized strategies to get me in front of my ideal clients and close business.

Sydni is incredibly professional and passionate about working with small business owners to reach their goals through marketing. Sydni is always on time for meetings, she follows through and she does what she promises. Shortly after hiring Sydni, I had a new baby. While I was spending time with my family, my marketing plan was moving right along and Sydni even managed the creation of an entirely new info product while I was resting at home. My experience with Sydni has reduced my stress level significantly and given me the support I needed to leverage all my efforts and relationships to create more business.

Before working with Sydni to create a strategic marketing plan for my business, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to best leverage my opportunities. I was bogged down with all the ideas for marketing on the internet and through social media. Now that I’ve taken advantage of her services and she’s created my marketing plan, I feel there is no stone unturned and that I am able to make the most out of my efforts to build my business. Sydni has enabled me to better utilize content and copy that was sitting on my computer to market my business. There is a sense of organization to my marketing efforts and I know she’ll keep me on track.

If you are thinking about working with Sydni to upgrade your marketing efforts and create more income in your business, you should go for it! Sydni has a true talent for seeing your vision and then creating a marketing plan and assisting you and your team in implementing it.”

Rachel Wall, Founder, Inspired Hygiene – Charlotte, NC

“Sydni is a rare breed in this whole marketing world!”

“I chose to work with Sydni because she came across as very professional, put together and new exactly what I wanted to implement. She also did an extensive job of interviewing me which really impressed me.

Sydni is a rare breed in this whole marketing world! She is good at “getting” where I want to be. She tells me things about me that I couldn’t put into words! Because of Sydni my list has doubled, I have a professionally produced information product, a paying membership-based community and a strategy for growing my practice into new markets.

Sydni is your partner in building your service business. She walks you through the strategy and implementation of building your business. She gets into your shoes and really envisions what you business is about and how to best reach your customer.”

“The best part about working with Sydni was the personal commitment I got from her.”

“Sydni Craig-Hart made this the most enjoyable marketing implementation company that I have had the pleasure to work with. She was very professional and personable and the shopping cart integration was executed fabulously.

The best part about working with Sydni was the personal commitment I got from her. She saved me time, money and the frustration of trying to do this on my own. The communication experience was unparalleled and I could not ask for more.

I would highly recommend her and her services to all my customers and look forward to working with her again in the near future.”

Jay Beaupré, Senior Project Manager, Ciplex Web Design – Los Angeles, CA

“Sydni is capable, confident, well educated, skilled in the field I was hiring her for, respectful, practical and bold. The services she provides were exactly what I was looking for. One of the greatest benefits of working with Sydni is that I could talk through a concept and she immediately understood it and could go off and set it up or make it happen.”

“I chose to work with Sydni to support my marketing efforts after I had been studying online marketing for some time. I understood, with the right products and audience, there was great potential there. I also had limited time to dedicate to setting this up, so I needed someone who understood the ‘system’, the opportunities, the market and the software. Sydni knew these things and had experience of them and had an air of capability that generated confidence. I trusted that she was the right ally to make my business the success I wanted.

Sydni is capable, confident, well educated, skilled in the field I was hiring her for, respectful, practical and bold. The services she provides were exactly what I was looking for. One of the greatest benefits of working with Sydni is that I could talk through a concept and she immediately understood it and could go off and set it up or make it happen. She had initiative and often worked ahead of what I needed – so we might both be considering defining next year’s marketing plan … then Sydni would draft something and send it over. She spotted opportunities for my brand to grow and initiated a number of contacts and projects that could position my business for ‘more’.

In just over a year, Sydni and I have launched my website (www.SuccesfulSingleParenting.com), built a niche list of nearly 1,000 online subscribers (and over 1,000 FaceBook contacts in less than 4 months), marketed, created products, sent out bi-monthly ezines, committed to and delivered a huge viral marketing campaign, run teleseminars, had a radio advertising campaign, set up shopping carts, merchant accounts and reached the majority of the goals we set for ’08. Sydni is a great person to have on your team. She gets marketing, she knows the systems, and she has the contacts and the knowledge to support the set up of a successful structure for your company. She is capable, encouraging, respectful and creative. I highly recommend Sydni as a keystone in building a successful small business.”

“If you’re looking for a true solutions provider — Sydni Craig-Hart comes highly recommended by me.”

“I just want to share that I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Sydni Craig-Hart on a project for my biggest client. Sydni came to my rescue when several issues were going wrong in the execution of a project. I explained the issues to Sydni and she immediately had the solutions — from creation of a listserv to creation of web pages and integration of 1ShoppingCart for a teleseminar. My client has been getting nothing but praise for the quality of the web pages and the autoresponders that Sydni created. One person commented, “Your invitation page and links are very well done….the best I’ve ever seen – first class.

If you’re looking for a true solutions provider — Sydni Craig-Hart comes highly recommended by me.”

“The consulting on how to launch our eBook was very helpful and my impression is that you have done this many times before! I especially valued the innovative ideas you shared – we wouldn’t have thought of them on our own. Your experience launching similar products was incredibly helpful and assured us that we could launch our eBook with success. I took copious notes! I really appreciated gaining the experience of someone who has done this before. It has given us the confidence that we are doing this right the first time rather than re-inventing the wheel! Thanks Sydni!”
