Testimonials

With 10 consultants of mixed experience and personalities, the sales team required varied guidance from Maryanne, ranging from induction and teaching through to coaching and enabling the more experienced people. There was little structure in place for the sales team, and Maryanne quickly introduced new targets based on productivity as well as sales, regular one-on-one sessions, and a new way to organize their week to maximize sales opportunities. Analyzing history of customer buying behaviors she was able to identify potential areas of growth. She was particularly focused on inactive accounts and turning them into contract holders for this company.

The impact of the “recession” came to Marlborough later than other areas of New Zealand. In Maryanne's viewpoint it never arrived at all. Her indomitable spirit refused to talk the economy down, encouraging the team to ensure benefits of our products were front of mind, and she successfully saw the sales team move through this period in a very positive manner. Over the time Maryanne was with us, our department saw a huge amount of change, coupled with the changes in the economy (there was a slight impact!) - There was significant system, structure and procedural changes implement by Fairfax. Maryanne stayed focused and determined to achieve her goals of training, and building a professional team.

Maryanne is a decisive and intelligent individual, who quickly sums up a situation and is always solution-based in her strategizing. Her experience in counseling enables her to understand people's behaviour and find ways to individually motivate them and invite them to develop and grow personally. She is a lively “mover and shaker” - she gets things done and she also has terrific empathy with people.

Yours sincerely,

Advertising Manager, Vanessa Watson - Fairfax NZ

We use Maryanne to coach our Managers, and also our sales team on how to be media consultants not order takers. The difference in the team after her sessions is amazing. The tools and ideas they now have to use has already produced stunning results and our clients are receiving a service from us that no other media consultant in our market can or has delivered before. She is innovative, uncompromising, demands the best and leaves no room for mediocrity. I have high respect for her teaching methods and her ability to instantly diagnose issues and put in place structure to correct them. Maryanne is one of the best tools of the trade I have as an Advertising Manager!

I will never forget my journey with Maryanne. She was the angel on my shoulder every step of the way. She gave me the tools I needed and the courage required to move forward. I have changed so much over the past 2 months. This is entirely due to Maryanne. I love her to bits.
God Bless you Maryanne and thank you a million times over. I will never forget the way you changed my life and gave me wings to fly

Mike Yardley of Newstalk ZB (where   hosts talkback between 11am and 12 noon on the first Tuesday of each month) says he used to be a skeptic in his attitude to the paranormal, but since meeting   has become open minded.

“There are some definite cranks out there who I despise, but I dont believe   is a crank. She fascinates me. The very first day she came onto the show was the first time I met her. She handed me a 2 page note, which she said was a summary of the messages she had gleaned from my spirits the night before. I was literally gobsmacked by the incisive and completely accurate account she had written. She struck the jackpot on every aspect of my life she referred to. Not even my closest friends or family would have known some of my deepest, inner-most thoughts, yet   did. It was like my brain and soul had been x-rayed. She blew me away.”

“I know you already know this, but everything you predicted for me has come true thus far: Experienced a challenging relationship, surrounded by many men, now I just need to have a sensitive year in 2009 (still not sure what sensitive exactly means!), and finally one day someone who I will love and who will love me.

Thank you   for your time to do my reading, it has given me a lot of comfort and confidence that as long as I continue to be positive and live fully, good things will come my way.
There are only a few people that touch your life that you can never forget. You are one of those for me. Thank you.”
