Praise from Our Co-Authors!

Praise from Contributors to Sales Gurus Speak Out:

.

Thank you both for your great work putting the Sales Gurus book together. It was a pleasure working with both of you. You are very professional and good with your communication on the progress of the book. Being a co-author of a series like yours is the best way for a new author to get published without all the hassle of the publishing world and for senior authors to gain visibility worldwide.

Kathy and Adele, thank you for asking me to participate in Sales Gurus Speak Out. Having the experience of been published a couple of times before, made this experience most delightful. Your complete process - from guidelines, to writing, to edit, to print, to promote and to sell were well thought out and proven to be successful once again. Keep up the great work of getting those most important messages out there in a professional, credible, economical and profitable way!

Having been approached by other so-called publishers of collaborative books — and not being totally impressed -- I was definitely skeptical about this project. The more I worked with Adele and Kathy, however, the more I found them to be scrupulously honest, ethical, and totally driven to make this a ‘win’ for everyone. Oh yeah, and they’re nice people too!

.

Michel Neray, The Essential Message

Whether you're a first time author or seasoned pro, Adele and Kathy offer an absolutely painless way to get your message out and have the word spread far and wide. If you have the chance to participate in one of their ventures, jump at the opportunity. I wish I'd done this year’s ago.

Brian Jeffrey, Certified Sales Professional

Maureen Tazzioli, Regina CAPS Chapter

"Adele & Kathy are one class act. This project was professionally handled from beginning to end. They're competent, resourceful and a pleasure to deal with. This was my first time as a contributing author to a collection, but not my first time as a published author. It was somewhat of a relief to have someone else look after the headaches of putting a book together and getting it published. They've got great ideas, showed patience, but were persistent. I liked that! The best kudo I could give them is : if they invite me to participate in another project with them, I'd say yes in a flash"

Frema Engel, Montreal CAPS Chapter

Patricia Ogilvie

Praise from Contributors to Volume 4:

"Thank you, Kathy and Adele. I really appreciate the opportunity to participate in this project. It was a challenge for me that definitely took me outside my comfort zone. I struggled with a lot of different feelings during the process - feelings that stretched me and helped me grow - again. You helped me take a step that is helping me view myself in a new light. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I think the two of you are very special people who are helping others help themselves by giving them this opportunity to stretch and grow by contributing to your series. And the series itself will help even more people. Well done".

Charmaine Grace, Hamilton CAPS

"This project has helped women all over the world, including myself. The project reaffirmed my passion for writing and encouraged me to pursue a career as a writer. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it".

Cecilia Zapata-Larson, Washington

"I am one of those people who thinks better on her feet with an audience. When the speaking engagement or the workshop is over, I usually have a series of notes about what I would like to write up as a result of inspirations that come to me when I am with an audience. And then when I sit at my computer to create an article or chapter out of those notes, it is grueling, difficult and disappointing. There is so much I want to write about and I just cannot seem to get it out....at least that was so prior to writing my chapter for Volume 4 of Expert Women Speak....Speak Out. Kathy Glover-Scott and Adele Alfano were absolutely incredible as coaches in this writing process. The guidance for the writing beforehand was of great assistance, and then the way the editing was done was like having my own personal coach. The chapter that resulted is one that I am proud of and the lessons I learned from Kathy and Adele make my investment in my chapter one that will reap great dividends in all future writing. Thank you both."
