What Participants Are Saying… About Barb's Programs… Coaching, Consulting & Speaking

Mary Dixon, AdzZoo…

Barb is an insightful coach and trainer with a very supportive and gentle style. Her "Unforgettable Follow UP" class taught me new skills that I never thought of and reaffirmed old skills I already use. What a great day it's been as I feel my direct sales business has definitely moved forward. I highly recommend Barb as a thoughtful and experienced coach.

 

Lauren Stanley, Independent Advisor/Group Leader, H2O AT HOME…

Before the program I was feeling frustrated with my team and was putting a lot of effort into my business in all the wrong ways. My personal business was suffering greatly and I was losing more confidence each day.  Since taking the program, I feel like a new leader! My personal business is getting back on track and I have learned the most effective way to work with my team to generate motivation and success. I have really taken everything I learned in the training and applied it to my business. I am rebuilding a strong team and have a much healthier picture of what I want my team to be and how I want it to function. Thanks again! My frustration is finally gone and I feel like the sky is the limit!

Marilyn Burdiak,  Norwex Enviro Products Team Coordinator…

"Barb's examples are easy to relate to and she is non judging, very encouraging, full of wisdom and very appreciative for giving me that extra motivation to get on the phone. Unforgettable Follow Up will help you kick start your business.  After attending this course, I am here to tell you that I have 1 new recruit, 6 parties, reorders and business has increased. I have recommended Barb to our Norwex Enviro Products office in Dauphin, Manitoba as a potential keynote speaker for future conferences.  I know they will just love her warmth, wisdom and expertise in the direct sellers market. You will never regret taking one of her teleconferences as she so generously gives you the tools to help you succeed."

Deb Liebholz, Star Leader, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada… "I am so happy that I have invested my time with you by attending your Network for New Work Program. I have learned a number of key points from you and have implemented these lessons into both my business world and everyday life.   Network for New work has given me ideas on everything including keeping my funnel full, prospecting and targeting the right audience for my business.  I have a renewed sense of energy about my business and look forward to building new relationships, creating new contacts and most of all challenging myself to be more creative with my business!"

Amelia Pohl… "I learned new skills through your course that I believe are making my follow up calls more effective and more productive. One of the things that helped me the most was preparing what to say after my initial introduction – what will I say if they say yes or no."

Teresa Breckenridge, Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur Participant…

"I decided to work with Barb because of the great reputation given via Jewish Family Services and that during my career transition I was intrigued with the thought of becoming my own boss!  An obvious advantage to taking the workshop was the one-on-one attention and meeting others in an intimate setting that were experiencing the same thoughts and challenges I was. 
I was laid off from an industry I'd been a part of for over 20+ years and decided to tap into my talents and dreams.

Barb does an amazing job of keeping you focused during the workshop and the materials given were easy to follow.  I liked having homework to keep me in check and the visual list of what I wanted when I started the workshop and how far I think I went by the end of the workshop.

You gave me the confidence to move forward with my ideas and made me think bigger than I was currently thinking about my product.

As a coach; the positive feedback needed to stay motivated was given.  As a speaker; I enjoyed your enthusiasm and listening to your OWN story of success.  As a trainer; the focus and staying on task at hand in a short period of time were outlined nicely.

The best benefit/s that I received was the confidence in myself, the information to move ahead and the assistance and motivation to take action weekly. Barb is a Creative, Enthusiastic, and Informative Sales Coach. Personally, I think those that support others in the workforce daily could benefit greatly from your program.  Coming myself from training and supervising others, the need for those in the customer service world need inspired greatly to look at themselves and their other talents.

I hope you know that during a time of conflict and self-doubt you helped me re-kindle a spark of wanting to really be my own boss.  I'm looking forward to the several adventures I have in the works with becoming my own consultant and continually looking into the patenting of my product, etc."
 

Valorie Morris, Sr. Division Manager, Jewels By Park Lane…

"Barb Girson is a breath of fresh air in the our industry. I have been in direct sales for seven years and find her to have new, fun and different ideas. Just what we need! Her teleclasses are interactive and she is full of knowledge, sharing a wealth of ideas that are like gold nuggets. She comes from a place of experience with an understanding of how this business really works.  A "different voice" out there among many."

Mary Pat Sperrazza, Independent Silpada Designs Representative… "I just want to thank you for tonight's call and tell you how excited I am to be participating in the Network for New Work sessions. My mind is just reeling with ideas for moving out of my comfort zone and meeting new contacts.  I am really looking forward to the remaining sessions."

Daniele Ferreira…

"Taking S.T.A.R. Team Building has been truly rewarding!  I have found your teleclass, reasonably priced, easy to follow, yet challenging enough to take action steps to move forward.   You are very easy to connect and be comfortable with and you have a unique way of listening and advising;  serving as the up-line I have always needed. Your class is different from others I have taken because your techniques are actually implemented throughout the training.  By EXAMPLE, you have SHOWN me how to be an effective leader.  I began immediately using your tips with my team and I have gained great confidence in my role as leader.  This has made the difference for me, and I look forward to the next class."

Anne Thiessen, Silpada Designs…

"This was a very informative, motivating and challenging program.  The motivational aspect enabled me to excitingly make contact with my prospects right away.  The information received from the program quadrupled my success rate and the confidence in myself as well as my product soared.   The challenges that Barb presented made me get out of my comfort zone and realize my own potential.  I am looking forward to upcoming programs that Barb offers."

Roni Davies, Australia…

"…You are giving me courage and empowering me."

Pamela Rose, Oklahoma…

“There is so much more to this business than what it seems on the surface, and Barb gave us challenges that helped me to see that when you dive in, dive deep so that the rewards will be many in more areas than just one, and your customers will be long term. Thank you, Barb, for making the training fun and thank you for the priceless knowledge that has helped so many of us. I look forward to the next training topic that you teach.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me.’’

Melanie Hood, Australia …

"I know for some of you who are new to the business it may seem like a lot to outlay before you have actually made any money. I understand this because that was me back in January. Having had no experience in…selling I thought that it was 'probably' worth my while to invest in some training. Never in a million years did I believe that 4 months down the track I would have a business with over 300 customers and a team of 6…some with their own team. I have made over $6000++…. all from a little part-time job that I began do give me 'some extra cash'!! I truly believe that doing Barb's course in January gave me the confidence, the business knowledge and the belief that 'anything is possible'….and how to do it with integrity and professionalism. I really can't explain what it will mean to your business….but we will all see, and you will understand in a few months time what impact doing Barb's course has made."

Renee Belbeck, Co-Founder of Like Minded Moms, LLC, Ohio …

"Barb’s [trainings] are refreshingly insightful. Her call had so many takeaways that I could implement in my business that same day. I look forward to continue to learn  from her."

Carolyn Jaggers, Texas …

"I love the program! Barb offers concrete techniques that have increased my business. She does this by offering positive ideas, great graphic organizers and personalized attention. Barb lets us know that she is available by phone or e-mail if we need encouragement. I am challenged by the ideas she has presented. I have a new mindset on asking for business….Barb is always fun, engaging and encourages interaction. She role-plays ideas and techniques that show just how easy it is to be successful. I can truly say that I can feel that Barb is truly interested in my success! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a positive way to boost your business."

Monica Bentley, Virginia …

"I have had the pleasure of seeing Barb Girson speak live at two of our conventions as well as being a participant in five of her teleclass programs. Barb is a bundle of energy who will come out with her boxing gloves (I've seen it first hand) to tackle any obstacle you may be facing with your business. With Barb's training you will become more confident in business. If you follow what Barb tells you to do you WILL see huge results!! She knows what she is talking about – not to mention she is a wordsmith genius. Thanks Barb for helping me  grow sales."

Kelly Harvey, Ohio, Owner of Signature Wines …

"Barb invited me to my first NAWBO event called Wine, Women and Wisdom, and although I knew only a few of the women at the event, I felt very comfortable thanks in part to Barb. Barb was one of the speakers at the event and she not only presented the information about NAWBO in an easy to understand fashion, she was also able to get everyone in the room relaxed and laughing. I heard many of the women around me comment on how funny she was. This laughter created an atmosphere of camaraderie among the women business owners, making me and I am sure many other new comers feel very relaxed and welcomed. Barb is one of those unique presenters who have the ability to teach you something while you are having a good time. Thanks Barb"

Linda Brincks, Partner, Director of Business Development, Action COACH

"Wanted to let you know that seeing you guide last week’s meeting at NAWBO really gave me a great feel for your sense of humor and your ability to captivate a room.  Nice job!"

Deb McPhee, Distributor, Australia…

"I am so glad I was on Barb Girson's training because it taught me to just ask. At the moment with the economy the way it is we have the perfect environment to build our businesses."

Victoria A McCoy, RHU, Past NAWBO President,NAWBO Vice President Membership Committee…

"In just a few months since meeting Barb Girson, new NAWBO member, I have observed a “go getter girl!”   One who immediately participated in the development and execution of one of our NAWBO’s special events which she named Women, W ine and Wisdom.   I was very impressed with the way Barb strategically planned to position the event to attract a multitude of Women Business Owners.  End results where fabulous, her leadership, stage presentation and other contributions resulted in an historic 33% increase in membership for the NAWBO, Columbus Chapter for which the Chapter received National Recognition.   I am honored to be associated with such a successful individual."

Alice Gibson, California, Jafra Cosmetics…

"Hi Barb!  What a great speaker you are and the information is perfect.  Thank you a million times.  I just left a message for Judi and told her I would like to have you at the company conferences. You sure beat anything I have ever heard.  I hope something comes of it for you."

 

 

 

Sheila Abplanalp, Independent Demonstrator, Vantel Pearls in the Oyster, Inc. … "I would like to take a minute and tell everyone who is reading this.  Barb's coaching and sharing of her expertise  is So Amazing.   Well worth the investment.  If you are struggling in your business and need to get set on a path to success, I HIGHLY recommend you invest in yourself and let Barb guide you down that path. Barb's coaching  +  putting her advice into action = Success!!! As a result of what I was learning in Share your G.I.F.T.S and grow I sealed the deal on 3 recruits, plus had the knowledge to assist a recruit to get a recruit as well.   Thanks Barb for helping me "Go and Grow"

 

Alice continues…

 

"After years of listening to speakers on every subject, Barb Girson is the best.  The information she gives is using common sense plus the concept that the Jafra company was built on by Jan and Frank Day, which is, always do what is best for the other  person. Help others be successful and you will be successful.  Barb is using this method in building her own business.  It will make your "work life" easier. Don't miss out on learning how to be more effective using less energy."
