Karen’s strategic approach and creativity established a new library of proposal material. Each of our business development directors witnessed her handy work and I heard nothing but positive feedback. She tackled a proposal in response to one of the most exhaustive RFPs we have witnessed. You bet the proposal turned heads. The client’s feedback was that we nailed it and then some. This is exactly what we hoped to hear and more importantly our proposal distanced ESS from competitors.

As project consultant, focusing on employee engagement and communication programs… you developed what I consider to be an industry leading program of excellence. I soon realized that I could call upon you to support/troubleshoot in other areas such as strategic planning, transition and transformation. You … were able to quickly develop solutions that were both appropriate and pragmatic… You are truly multi-skilled.

Just to let you know that we won the [project] in Egypt. You were involved in putting the proposal together in a very short time.

We are still waiting for contract award. But we already won the other bid which came at the same time… I used the exact same text with very few modifications… your work is a good investment!

Am so glad you wrote the bid. It makes us look very good. I will use it as a template for similar bids across countries.

She’s thoroughly professional, delivers top-notch results and pays close attention to both customer-needs and budgetary constraints. Karen is one of those rare gems who really delivers what she promises and is delightful to work with, as well.”

I want to say how gratifying it has been to work with you on designing my website. I couldn’t have had a better person in terms of both understanding what needed to be included and in knowing how to make that happen practically. Your patience with my digital ineptitude and exacting aesthetic sensibilities was amazing. Thank you for continually adjusting to my concern over aesthetic details while also clarifying what could and could not be done. I am pleased with the final result and feel you should be proud of what you designed.
…I continue to get accolades for it. On Friday I was in the art department of the bookstore, gave them my website in response to a question, then pulled it up and said it was a “rock star” website…

I’m really happy with the final product. It’s almost paid for itself in two weeks… I’m quite amazed! I have had incredibly positive feedback on the site. You have such a good eye for colour and page layout.
PS. I had actually meant to call you the week before last to share some really lovely feedback I received. I had calls from two different people who had found me from my website. They absolutely raved about the website, not just content, but about how nice it looked and how easy it was to use with just the right type and amount of information. So, thank you Karen!
