Some of Our Savvy Testimonials!
“I decided to get personal coaching because I needed help in getting going. Little did I know that this would be a learning experience for me that would help me in many different areas of my life.
My upline is “there for me” and would tell me that once I just “make the calls” I’d get it going. Well, I couldn’t do it. I’d psych myself up to make the calls on such and such a date and something would get in the way. ME.
When I was ready, I’d hyperventilate, feel anxious and I just couldn’t apply any of the information that I was reading about in book after book about network marketing.
I found Savvy Sponsoring before Christmas. I listened in on the 3 weeks of free coaching in April and was hooked and started their Power Prospector Course.
I am still scared to be honest, but I’m not frozen. But I’m so glad I spent the money! It’s a great personal and entrepreneurial learning experience. I am talking to people. I pick up the phone!
I have more people in my pipeline. I’m soaking it all in, getting in the groove, taking responsibility and where I once had nothing but anxiety I now have an ever-growing comfort level.Thanks Jillian and Amy I’m building a business today because of you and your coaching.”
Joanne Ryan – Amesbury, MA
“Amy was a key resource when I began my MLM business and continued as my business grew. Amy’s ability to provide expert consult and unconditional support made a pivotal difference in allowing me to achieve the objectives in my business that I did.
Amy has the ability to guide individuals with wide-ranging resources including actual scripts, design of personal marketing strategies and breaking down obstacles, all done with a unique combination of mature professionalism, compassion and humor.
Amy is one of the most knowledgeable people about MLM I’ve worked with. She is skilled at explaining details to people with a wide range of MLM experience. She is also able to offer specific actions to take – or avoid – to make the best use of one’s time and effort.
Amy uses humor and sensitivity in her coaching. Amy has always offered suggestions and options but never hype. Amy’s approach to MLM as a business of specific actions – and her ability to teach those actions through a wide range of choices – was invaluable to growing my business.
Her support and coaching is shared in a way that is never intimidating or belittling and never involves rating or reflecting on her own or other’s success in a competitive way. The focus is always on whoever she is teaching.
I appreciate that Amy’s priority has always been to help others succeed. Her knowledge and abilities to teach and coach have been most valuable resources for me and many on my team.”
Dale Stein – Hagerstown, MD
“I have made more calls since I started coaching than I have in my entire network marketing career. When I signed up, I was very nervous, I actually had an anxiety attack, not knowing if I could do it.
I’m at a level now that I knew I needed to be – but never quite got there.
I’d recommend it to anyone who is willing to be coachable. I think you will be completely successful with anything Jillian and Amy put out.
The CEO marketing approach is brilliant, puts you completely at ease with what you’re doing.I’m in love with the program, you guys are fabulous.”
Melissa McAnelly – Houston, TX
“I had to get over the price of taking an intensive course, I had financial issues I needed to clear up, so I wasn’t certain. But I also knew I needed to be more comfortable talking to people. I wasn’t comfortable talking to people on the phone, I felt I was intruding.
I didn’t have the CEO mentality. Truthfully, I felt like I couldn’t get people to look at Network Marketing, that there was a taboo with the business and they wouldn’t be interested in what I had to offer.
I now HAVE the CEO mentality, I am very proud of my business and what I do. I have people thanking me for introducing them to my business and helping them with things that are close to their hearts!I’m no longer uncomfortable, I’m a work in progress.
I highly recommend Amy and Jillian. They’ve made my vision much clearer, the recruiting game is not so daunting. I’m putting more people in recruiting pipeline, my confidence is up, I’m playing a bigger game. It has changed me personally and I’m grateful.”
Kelley Haas – Westerville, OH
“It’s been my very good fortune to experience Amy Posner as a mentor. Amy’s ability to articulate the nuts and bolts that led to her success in networking and as a marketing consultant makes her an excellent, pragmatic coach for anyone seeking a skill set with tools to meet every challenge.
In addition to her expertise, Amy’s enthusiasm and warm encouragement provide superb support for navigating the unique terrain of network marketing.”
Marilise Tronto – New York, NY
“Amy has been a coach mentor to me in two different network marketing businesses. She is always very quick to offer guidance and solutions to any issue that I am experiencing.
She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and supportive and never ever gets annoyed with my many questions and sometimes ” whining” about my business not growing fast enough.
If you are not doing what you need to do to grow your own business, Amy will not coddle you; however, if you are working diligently and consistently, she is right there to support you and help you to succeed at your personal goals for your business.
Amy is very well versed on the business model and I would recommend her in a heartbeat and have already done so many times.
Amy has taught me never to give up — that as long as you believe in your company, believe in their products, and believe in yourself, you will succeed — just be patient and consistent with your efforts.
Like many entrepreneurs I have my bouts of being discouraged about not growing fast; and Amy is so quick to boost my spirits and offer guidance and suggestions. She is a wonderful mentor and appears to take a personal interest in everybody.”
Emily Taft – Georgetown, MA
“For the first time during my network marketing career, I feel I have a much better understanding of how to view recruiting and what to do with those recruits from day one.
We now have a system in place that will allow me to get my business builders off to a good start in 24-48 hours. Learning to incorporate the 5 Steps and the Calendar with family support is something we have learned and now can teach our new recruits.
We have signed up three new people since the program started and now have over 40 new prospects in our funnel. It’s difficult to verbalize the change in our attitude towards ourselves and those we approach after joining the Savvy Sponsoring Coaching program.”
Bernie Page – Gold Canyon, AZ
Our volume went from an average of 25,000 per month to completing July at 104,000! Some of my favorite aspects of the course: individual coaching and training, the worksheets that I get to share and train my team with, and the weekly calls.
We now have a stream-lined approach to our business and the results have been incredible! I have enjoyed every minute of the Savvy Sponsoring Program – it has made all the difference in my business!
Thanks!”
Suzanne Sedlmajer
I would recommend their coaching to anyone, but especially those who are stuck in their business. You know what to do but just aren’t doing it.
For those who are finding the laundry is easier to complete than the phone list on your desk, I am having amazing results with the techniques I have learned. A great big thank you to Jillian and Amy, you rock!”
Jill Holmes – Rochester, MN
“Because of coaching with Amy and Jillian, I now can ask for what I want, have a conversation with people about my business and find out if they’re interested. People are friendly and receptive, I’m getting great results. I’ve had a huge increase. I went from signing up 2 people in 4 months prior to taking their coaching to signing up 3 people in 2 weeks.
I have more prospects in my pipeline than ever. I would recommend coaching and training with Amy and Jillian to anyone, crossline, sideline, downline, anyone.
I can’t say enough about Amy and Jillian as coaches. I love working with them as coaches because they’ve built solid businesses in this industry, they’ve been in the trenches, they know what we go through, they’re realistic and fun to work with.
Speaking of fun, I’m having more fun in my business than ever. Love it, love it, love it. This is the best money I’ve ever spent on my business.”
Callie Shields – Houston, TX
“I definitely had to overcome my fear to take this course. A lot of fear. I just didn’t trust myself enough to believe that I would follow through on the things I was taught. By signing up for the class, I was making a declaration – yes, I DO believe I can do this.
So I took a deep breath and made the leap. It has been so worth it. I’ve completely shifted the way I think about my business and it comes across in the way I interact with people. For the first time in the six years since I started my business, I actually think of myself as a businessperson!
People have definitely been responding differently to me, with a great deal of trust and respect for what I do. So even if they say no, I walk away from the conversation feeling good about myself and my business.
I would be satisfied if all I was getting was business results, but for me this course has gone way beyond that. I also had a powerful personal experience because of what I’m learning. When we face our business fears it affects way more than our business.
I was talking to my son one morning about him signing up for soccer this coming fall. He has often expressed an interest in learning how to play. He said he wanted to wait until next year when he felt more “ready”. I immediately knew there was something he was afraid of. With some gentle probing, I found out he didn’t want to look like a fool because he didn’t already know how to play. He wanted to learn more about soccer before actually playing soccer so no one would laugh at him.
I helped him realize that he would be just as afraid next year and he had the choice to face his fear now or later. I’m happy to say he chose now and agreed to sign up for the team. I am so proud of him!
And myself, because if I wasn’t taking action and facing my own fears I never could have coached him sincerely. I never expected this course to make a difference in my son’s life. But now that it is, is seems rather obvious that it would. A confident happy mommy makes for a confident happy family.
Thank you Amy & Jillian, you’ve helped me get my dreams back and now I can nurture my children’s dreams as well!”
Amy Lane – Kent, WA
“Recently using all the great info I’ve taken from your coaching I feel much more comfortable in my business. Going back to the article you wrote after convention about taking one aspect of your business and working on it I have been practicing my presentation. Previously it was too long winded. Now it is short, sweet and to the point. I recently trained a new recruit (unfortunately not mine but a recruit of mine).
The feed back I got from her and her friends about her kick off show let me know I had nailed it! Later I received a letter from her thanking me for the training and support. She is so excited and comfortable with her new business it was a wonderful thing to see. I expect this fall season to be a refreshing change because I have changed.
Thanks!”

“Thanks to the Savvy program I know what to say and do! When someone new comes into my business no longer do I simply say, “Oh Great I’ll be here for you!” Now I have clear cut tools to get them started rather than cheerleading and feel good stuff. Real Tools – thanks.So much is valuable, the personal laser coaching, those incredible 5 Steps that keep everything moving and getting a handle on my time and how I spend it. Huge! …
Thanks for teaching me how to offer the business right away to everybody…it’s made such a difference.
If someone is reading this in consideration of doing the program, spending money for anything does deserve consideration…I got my money’s worth in the first month…”

“Jillian’s coaching classes have been invaluable to me both personally and in my Usborne Books At Home business. Through the weekly mastermind calls, class notes and worksheets and weekly coaching appointments, I have not only been given practical tools for running my business, but also the encouragement and accountability to do the things that I am learning–even if it means going out of my comfort zone to implement change.My life has become more balanced, my personal sales have increased and I am excited about helping the ladies on my team grow their business’s. I also have another business that compliments my Usborne business but I had decided that I could not do both and was planning to give it up. Jillian showed me ways to leverage my time and energy so that I can keep that business and continue helping my home schooling customers.”

“I was a skeptic – a huge skeptic. Normally, I’m not. This time, it took:
- a tele-conference call
- meeting Jillian in person
- another teleconference call
- and a couple long discussions with my co-mentor and my team supervisors to even get me considering (Savvy Sponsoring training).
Why? Well, I probably was very dismissive of her coaching sessions due primarily to the cost. I didn’t think I was worth it. I couldn’t imagine what she had to offer that would change my business so profoundly, that I’d recoup the cost. But, I also couldn’t stand the idea of not knowing. I hate thinking, “what if?” So, I signed up for the classes with the money-back guarantee. (If you plug in to everything for one month and don’t think it will work for you, no charge.)
…It was worth the price of admission in order to go through this process of change. Training is great. I love training.
What is different about this? It is a process of long-term change and growth that can only truly be effective if it happens in increments over time. It is the encouragement you get along the way. This coaching and training is helping me go back and build a proper foundation …
… I decided to take a risk….and it’s already paying off!”

“Thanks Jillian…I’ve learned to engage, influence and look for a buy-in…from a place of service and integrity..GREAT impact on booking classes, launching new business partners.”Becky Gilman

“I am thoroughly enjoying the 6 Month Coaching Program with Jillian Middleton and fellow Usborne Leaders. It has helped me to regain balance between my home and business while creating an intentional forward movement to increase our group’s potential for earning increased business income in the upcoming year.I feel more focused, intentional, and surprisingly calmer with a delightful outlook that I’m ready to start each day as the “CEO of my business”. Thanks to this course, our group is getting to know that the best way to measure your success for today is to reflect on, “How many relationships I built today”.”

“Money! Money! That’s a good thing. Quite honestly those of us in MLM want to make money. Would you like to develop personally while making money? Would you like to know how to better guide your team while making more money? Jillian’s Master Mind calls will help you to do this.…. But we also get to talk all one-on-one with Jillian. Having Jillian as my very own personal coach is a great blessing…One of the reasons I joined Jillian’s class was because I wanted to learn how to be a better supervisor to my team. I am so excited that after my very first ever team conference call with my group that they went away excited and ready to get going. One, who has done very little in her two years in our group, is now actually making calls to recruit people.
As Jillian says, “The number one reason people are not successful in Network Marketing is because they are not clear on exactly what they are supposed to do or when they are supposed to do it.”

“Listening to Jillian speak about setting office hours and taking control of my calendar has completely changed the way I do business (and spend my time with my family). I hate schedules. I hate being told what to do when, and what I thought was the inflexibility of (a calendars), so I avoided “scheduling” my life. However, my life has been running me. As a master’s student, home schooling mom, and business owner, managing my time became an issue. By implementing Jillian’s suggestions I learned how to make my calendar work for me. I set my schedule and it worked!
I get more done each day, and now when I’m not scheduled to work I truly relax. I also found that just because my time was scheduled, didn’t mean I couldn’t change it if I needed to. But instead of getting up each day and wondering what to do first, I already knew what I was going to do. If something came up, I was working from a position of strength and movement, and could choose to change. …I’m amazed at the freedom, scheduling my week has given me.Thank you Jillian. ”

“I am so excited about how my business has grown as a direct result of attending Jillian’s course. Within 60 days, my sales activity had paid for her class. Putting into action the principles of calendaring and spending time on income producing activities put the “fun” back into my business and doubled my sales this fall. I realized that having “systems” for all aspects of my business would enable me to work smarter not harder! In order to leverage my time with a growing group, Mastermind calls are definitely the way to go.Thank you Jillian!”

I’ve found my leadership voice.Because of the Savvy Program I’ve learned to work in the moment and ask coaching questions. I’m not focused on “getting through” my outline anymore. Oh, we have direction and an organized system. In fact as a team we now have real clarity. But I don’t have a need to have all the answers. By me asking questions (coaching) my team is now looking “within” for their answers not just to me. They are stepping up and leading.My numbers speak to this. My volume was fairly static, but dropping slowly. That was the reason I actually took the Savvy program. I didn’t say a word for the first six weeks and then my volume dropped! Before Savvy I was using a “splash” of things. You know, get them on this call, or to this meeting – but each time I met someone I was feeling my way around. Which option do I use?
A lot of missed opportunity went by and I know the same was true for my team.
Norine was clear exactly how to get a new recruit into money making action in the first 48 hours. But she did it through coaching not training or teaching. The key word here is “coaching.” I don’t “tell” my team what to do, but rather coach them into action. Within just four months and I completed my Regional Vice President promotion.
The best part of this for me, I no longer feel the weight of other people’s businesses on my shoulders. I’m not pulling them along! We’ve created leaders.

“I love Jillian’s coaching program for many reasons. Perhaps the two most important reasons are:
- my executive group sales have increased about 20% this fall over the year before and
- I have more flexibility in my schedule than I ever had before due to the time management part of her coaching.
I highly recommend her program.”
Thank you Jillian (Hugs)
