Testimonials Start HereThank you to my many clients and students who have provided me with written permission to share their comments with you. This is a very special thing for them to because confidentiality is a major part of my business model. "Maria isn't known as the Resource Queen for nothing - she knows everything there is to know about running a business successfully and where to go to find the tools and services to do it. Maria's advice and strategy has been invaluable to the clarification and execution of my business goals." "Aside from forcing us to focus on growing our business, your program provides a logical, compelling, balanced template and your
hand-on support was insightful and effective. Despite this tough economic terrain, client satisfaction, client retention, our rates and profits are higher than ever. Our business awareness is clearer. To be blunt, your help in teaching us when to "throw the fish back" and walk away from inappropriate candidate clients has saved us far more than what your strategic business program cost. We are looking forward to continuing to work with you to internalize what you teach.
" "I had the privilege to work with Maria for an hour regarding my executive career path. She is OUTSTANDING, real life ideas, human, down to earth and extremely ahead of our times, not to mention lots of professional knowledge. If she is telling you to try something, it means that she has tried it herself and had much success. Maria is successful because she gives back to those in need of constructive ideas ,new ways to re-invent themselves for a new direction of their careers. Never is she afraid to say the obvious because she is ready to get you to your next step of success. If you are an executive, thinking of changing companies or careers, I highly recommend you speak with Maria for your personal or business growth." "Maria Marsala is an outstanding business coach who provides me with invaluable information on a variety of topics. Maria cuts to the heart of any challenge and provides resources and solutions from her vast experience. Maria has been a key resource in helping me publish my first book, "Insiders Guide to Doing Business in Mexico". The quality of the book is due to Maria's assistance and encouragement. I highly recommend Maria to any business person looking to take their company or project to the next level." "Maria has a creative, holistic, and no-nonsense approach to business and helps her clients get clear about what they want, where they want to go, and how to get there. She is warm, generous and firm. She doesn't mince words yet is compassionate. SHE CAN HELP YOU GET THE JOB DONE in a good way." "Maria Marsala is a consummate and astute professional with vast business knowledge, twenty-first century business sensibilities, an intensely listening ear and a caring heart. I enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend Elevating Your Business to any entrepreneur wanting to grow a business into a successful entity" "Since working with Maria for just one hour a month over a six month period, I was able to clarify my mission and vision for my business, quickly resolve problems as they arose, and create a much improved version of my elevator pitch. Best of all, I've seen a monthly increase of $3,000 in revenues and I've just about doubled my hourly rate." "Maria's presentation was inspiring and innovative, It provided me with new insights and tools that I used immediately. It's evident that she's passionate about helping small business owners succeed. Her company's email list and blog which contain excellent and helpful information to take me into the future. And I became a client, too!" "Maria's "tno band-aids," all around approach helped me create a strong business foundation from the inside out that continuously helps my business be more profitable, efficient and healthy. The business plan process helped me create an easy to update system for marketing, taking action and monitoring my efforts. I have taken leaps and bounds in the first few years of my business, and it has been a great experience both personally and professionally." "Attending your one-day planning program, along with the many insights and business therapy you provided, helped me see the forest through the trees. Thank you for the really great thought-provoking day." "Maria's input has helped me organize my business more in three months than I had in the nine months prior. She asks the right questions and doesn't mince words. Her vast storehouse of business and marketing knowledge makes her a valuable partner in my business. She's helped me package my services, allowing me to increase my fees by 200% and the monthly sales of the company are more than 600% from where we were just 8 months ago. If you're considering hiring an advisor to help grow your business more rapidly, look no further. Maria is a skilled, caring, but firm coach, and most importantly, she will help you get the results you're looking for in your business and personal life ." "Using the planning resources you sent prior to the event, I was able to quickly create a draft of my current business plan and a project I'm working on.
The one-day program provided much additional information which helped me refine my plan and your personal insight and input was greatly appreciated." "I've been in business for over 20 years and my ideal client has been consistent throughout that time. Many of the questions on your exhaustive list of ideal client questions weren't part of my thought process and answering them opened my eyes to the possibilities. I came away with a specific, factual description that helps me recognize my ideal clients after 30 seconds of a conversation, so I can now easily avoid spending time with people who AREN'T my ideal and move on to those who are!"
"When we started working together, you heard the inconsistency between the quality products I sell on Ebay and my business name - The Cheap Quilter. Last month, I decided to rename my business to "The Stitcher's Cottage." Since then sales have increased 38% plus I now have the latitude to expand my product line beyond quilting. Thanks Maria!"
"The pricing program paid for itself within 45 days and I more than doubled my sales within a year.
Since completing my business plan, my business is beginning to look like how I dreamed it could be with the best clients ever who value the service I am providing."
"Maria gives 200 percent and presents her material simply and completely. Her Get Paid More System helped me see that the value of my product and services was 3 times what I perceived. I promptly, and naturally, adjusted my thinking, and am very happy with my new pricing structure. She also recommended other ways I can fill my marketing funnel with new streams of income. Her support renewed my belief in the vision I have for my company." "If you want no-nonsense business advice that works, contact Maria Marsala. She is innovative, energetic, and results-driven. She helped me to boost my income and to become more creative in my whole approach to business. I recommend her often and without hesitation." "I sold my business and was looking to do something new but wasn't sure what. I spent about a year thinking, exploring options, and making a few false starts. Then I started to work with Coach Maria. By the 4th session, I had a solid new business idea developed and ready to be put into a business plan. I never imagined a coach could be so effective and achieve such stunning results so quickly. My advice: don't think about hiring Coach Maria, just pick up the phone and do it. Your ROI will come back to you very quickly." ."...Aha moment! I realized that the reason my business
hasn't excelled is because I was just taking anything that
came my way. I had no clear vision, no business plan, no
marketing tools and no direction. Maria, you inspire me and
my business to be the best we can be. You are a source of
inspiration." "It helps to have a plan. I've accomplished more in 4 months
than I did the entire previous year. And my income doubled
from last year! I feel more focused now, too." ."..for the first time in 45 years of adult life I'm working in a clean, uncluttered workspace. I find myself more eager to get to work, because I have
more of a sense that I will accomplish my intentions." "After attending two of your virtual seminars, I've been inspired to create my one-page business plan and ideal client profile. Something I heard you say made me realize that more of my energy and focus has to be placed on growing my business to the next level, which has meant, at least for a while, I'd be saying "no" to some of the high level volunteering I'd been doing. Since your classes, I have been obsessed in ramping up my business - evaluating where it is, bringing back my passion and narrowing my niche to match what my clients need. I feel a new sense of freedom since I had the revelation to serve the green and renewable energy industry where I will be able to earn a great living and contribute to saving our planet. Thank you for your time and for your inspiration!" "Maria has proven herself to be dedicated, sympathetic and persistent. She provides a map that keeps me on course and an objective mirror so I don't become someone I wouldn't want to be. With her on the team I can comfortably focus on my clients' welfare, secure in the knowledge that someone is focusing on mine. Definitely worth your time, unless you have no room left for improvement!"
"I received your Welcome Package today. Thank you SO MUCH. I LOVE it!
What wonderful information, valuable books and a great way to add value! I'm thinking of ways that I can offer a really special welcome package such as this. It really makes a difference. I think that I have the best coach ever!" "I finally have a specific plan [business plan] in place that is manageable and attainable.
Way beyond adding a house cleaner and accountant to my life, after 5 years of trying on my own, with your help I increased my bottom line by more than $15,000." "Maria has provided me with a constant reminder to do my best and to push my boundaries. She was valuable in providing resources and insights that I would not otherwise have had access to."
"You provide lots, but mainly someone I can confide in about business or personal issues that can give an objective opinion about any problems I have. You also provide direction and possible solutions that help make life funnier and me a happier person." Articles & eNewsletters Testimonials

Networking Program & Testimonials"I was a guest at a networking meeting and used new elevator speech words that you recommended. I was very concise and brief.
Everyone began applauding, after which one member shouted, "That was the best 30 second commercial I've ever heard." Thank you, Maria."
