Client testimonials for Barbara's telephone consulting and
coaching . . .
"Barbara Brabec is one of those people who not
only has a wealth of knowledge but a wonderful ability to share what she knows with others.
She always seems to be ahead of the curve. In today's marketplace it is so difficult to
compete, and any edge is appreciated. I have found Barbara's knowledge and advice to be very helpful."
- Jay Rankin, author of Under The Neon Sky--A Las Vegas Doorman's Story
"Barbara is truly a wonderful resource! Her down-to-earth nature really put me
at ease and made me feel comfortable discussing my business concerns. She
offered practical insights and sound advice which helped me to move forward with
growing my greeting card business. I would highly recommend her to anyone who
needs help with any aspect of starting a business." - Angela Douglas
"I have some experience working with publishers since I have released three
how-to quilting books. But when it came to declaring my first book (A Forest of
Quilts) out of print and working with the publisher to purchase the remaining
inventory, I was lost. I thought of Barbara's consulting service, and called for
her advice. She was so helpful and thorough, even bringing up things I hadn't
considered. She has a wealth of knowledge from her own business experiences,
making her the perfect consultant for those of us still learning everything the
hard way. I'm an artist first and a business person second, but my business
sense is definitely improving thanks to Barbara and her books, newsletters, and
now consulting. I will be tapping her talents again!" - Terrie Kralik, Owner,
Moose Country Quilts
"Being new to the world of professional crafters, my wife and I had questions on
a myriad of topics. After visiting Barbara's website and finding that she
offered telephone consultations, I called and rattled off my questions. Barbara
had great answers for all of them. And the consultation fee - oh so reasonable!
We got good value for our dollars, and highly recommend Barbara's books and
consultative services. Barbara also reviewed our Web site and made several
suggestions that we've adapted and received great feedback on from customers. As
our business continues to grow we will be calling Barbara for more of her
business wisdom." - W. Coulombe, Patricia's Treasures
"I was so happy to learn that you were offering phone consultations! I was
rather nervous before we spoke, but you immediately put me at ease, and I
instantly felt like I was chatting with a friend. (And speaking to a fellow cat
lover made it fun!) I can't thank you enough for the helpful critique,
suggestions, and advice you gave to me about my website and my business, and for
answering my seemingly endless list of questions, too! Since we spoke, I
purchased two more of your books, and now when I read them, I can 'hear' your
encouraging and motivating voice. Thank you, Barbara, very much!" - Laura Lynn
Kulba, Pet Scribbles LLC
"Thank you so much for the help you gave me during my telephone consultation.
You did, indeed, calm many of my fears about designing jewelry for children.
Thanks, too, for directing me to a helpful Website link, and especially for the
new marketing ideas you suggested. I really like the idea of bringing my jewelry
to homes for the well aged." - Jody Werick, City Girl Designs, Buffalo, NY
"Thank you so much for your time and the great information you shared with me
during our phone consultation. You're such a wonderful fount of knowledge. Our
conversation was inspiring and filled me with a great deal of enthusiasm and
confidence. It was well worth the money." - Lindsay Landis
"Thanks for all the helpful tips and feedback you've given me regarding my Web
site and the marketing of my needlework designs and supplies on the Web. It's
nice to have someone's else's feedback when I'm trying to make a decision about
something." - Joan Green,
Joan Green Designs
"The information and Web links you gave me regarding my new candle business and
where to find copyright-free Persian designs was very helpful and just what I
