"I enjoyed a fantastic presentation by Marlene Beadling of Simplicity of Selling yesterday, at AZ Entrepreneurs. I was so impressed! You have a wonderful style and presence that is very engaging, yet extremely professional and polished. Your content was obviously well received by everyone, and I think each person who attended took something valuable away with them. You are one of the best presenters I have ever seen. Great job, Marlene!"

"I asked Marlene to come to my office to educate and train my staff on her selling techniques in August 2010. The previous year I had attended a selling seminar given by Marlene and was overly impressed. It more than exceeded my expectations and at the same time I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I always had a negative idea about selling i.e. it reminded me of sleezy car sales people.-- Needless to say my staff were also moved and excited with Marlene's ideas and role-playing situations. It gave my front desk staff more confidence in dealing with people and helped them to cultivate better relationships. We are now waiting to see our bottom-line improve exponentially!"

"...Having the pleasure of working with Marlene both as her subordinate and as a colleague, Marlene has contributed exponentially to not only my professional development, but countless others. I have seen few presenters that can command the immediate attention and respect of the associates they are training the way that Marlene can. What makes Marlene's trainings unique is that she is not only up to date on the latest theories of multi-generational learning styles and selling psychology; Marlene synthesizes it, simplifies it, and incorporates it into her trainings seamlessly, while facilitating buy-in from all participants. What's even more impressive is that she arms her student's selling toolbox with a variety of methods to "sell from the heart," bringing customers back time and time again."

Marlene is a very well-rounded education executive: while she was at Origins she developed an advanced sales education program that was quickly rolled out on a national level due to the tremendous results it generated. Marlene is also an outstanding motivator and is able to fire up an audience with her great passion and energy. Marlene understands that education is only successful if it produces strong sales results and I have always admired her dedication to bringing out the best in the people that she coached. Based on my years of working very closely with Marlene, I highly recommend her."

worked directly with Marlene at Origins Natural Resources
I know I shared some positive feedback yesterday but I have come to realize today what a HUGE impact Marlene had during her training with Pharmaca yesterday. She trained 7 employees from 4 different locations as well as their corporate team and she left them wishing that they had her for 4 or 8 hours or even a 2 day seminar.... they felt it was the best training that they ever experienced at corporate. This is a big deal for them, as when they pull employees out of their stores they really want it to be worthwhile and this clearly exceeded all of their expectations.....Thank you again Marlene for making true Jurlique advocates and brand ambassadors out of these already loyal fans!
---------------------Account Executive, Jurlique
"Thank you so much for the prompt response. We loved the training and are re-energized regarding the line - and armed with lots of great selling points. Thanks for including mini-event protocols - PERFECT! We are doing more and more of those and looking forward to opening up the treatment room on a regular basis soon."
"Marlene, what an awesome privilege to be under your tutelage over the past two days!! This was the most dynamic training I've experienced in a very long time. I'm so fired-up about Jurlique and just as excited to begin practicing my new selling strategies. Thank you for showing me how to grow my business, increase client loyalty and MAKE MORE MONEY. I loved your energy, your passion and your commitment to help me perform at my best. I can use my new talent in every area of operating and managing my location. Also, thank you for your time and for giving us your complete SELF; we ( I ) will make you proud. God bless you and may He fulfill your every desire.

It was definitely inspiring and provided our teams with great ideas that they can take back to their stores. You all packed a lot of information in 2 days! I found it very motivating and was great to get a "refresher" on the Jurlique model. I know several stores have submitted orders to me fore review so I am sure they will be coming in to you as well."
