My consultation with Lorne resulted in developing three different letters
sent to three different types of health care professionals. His ability to
condense words made these letters most effective in their content.
Each letter was followed by a personal phone call from me. Thanks to
Lorne, my success rate in connecting with these practitioners was 30%!

Thanks so much for your presentation, “Are You Ready for The Economic
Recovery?” I heard comments such as "loved his presentation," "terrific
ideas,” and “thank him for speaking to our group!"
Great story about Moxie Cola. Let's do it again.
Jennifer Clark

We appreciate your speaking to SofTECH about “Marketing Moxie –
Planning for The Economic Recovery.” Our members often focus on
technology, and need to be reminded that they're also in business.
Your presentation gave them some much-needed information. And they
liked the fact that the only "R" word you used was "Recovery.” Thanks
for a
great evening.

Just a note to tell you how very much I enjoyed your presentation at the
Marin Professionals Luncheon. I am very aware of how important marketing
oneself is to a productive business.
You had some great perspectives on many of the elements involved in
making a sale. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for taking time
to attend our luncheon and enlighten us with such a great presentation.

Excellent work. I did a few tweaks, but overall I couldn't ask for anything
better. Your work on this allowed me to get passed a creative block and
vastly improved it. Thanks.

Lorne takes you from drab to fab – and cautions, “If it’s not written, it’s
just an idea, not a true plan.” He teaches, “Marketing is everything you
do
to gain and retain customers, clients, patients, students – anyone who
gives you money for your products and services.”
He asks, “Why should people do business with you? Why are you different?”
Lorne listens to your style and your needs.

Do you want Walmart or do you want Nordstrom? No question about it:
Lorne is a Nordstrom by far. When I hired him to assess my new website,
he meticulously went over each word, comma, and capital. He was a
plainclothes detective with a magnifying glass. Nothing gets by him.
I was able to make all his changes before my website went online.
Lorne is the best - and besides that he's likeable, quick witted, polite,
understanding, great to work with, and reasonably priced. You will be
so pleased with the outcome. So what are you waiting for?

We are very pleased to recommend the wonderful work of media coach
Lorne Evje. We had the good fortune to secure his help before a recent
appearance on ABC's The View From The Bay in San Francisco. Having
never before appeared on a television talk show, the whole process was
new to us and quite challenging. The producers cautioned against plugging
our website, TheStoryHome.com, yet we wanted to lead the audience to
our website to enjoy our free audio stories for children.
Lorne reminded us if we presented ourselves well and were enthusiastic
about what we loved, all would go well. He helped script our performance,
and we got to work.
As we rehearsed with him before a camera, we were able to fine-tune our
message and clarify our brand. We ran through the planned segment many
times. At first, we stumbled and hesitated, but with his guidance,
encouragement, and humor, we gradually mastered the television format.
Natural and spontaneous qualities started to appear in our responses.
On the day of the show, we were somewhat nervous, but felt prepared
by
his attention to detail and focus. Just before our segment, Lorne spoke
with us, reaffirming our message, and gave each of us a special gift we
shall never forget. It was a gift that symbolized the results we had worked
to achieve, giving us the confidence to feel we could do no wrong.
Our segment was a huge success! It was praised by the producers, and
that week we became the most popular segment, based on viewer interest.
Here's to our coach! Should you have media opportunities, run, do not walk
to his door.
