Dear Carla, Your Recruiting Program at N.A.R. Convention was tops. You are super, too. Your program has changed the way I will run my company. You have a lot of great ideas. Thanks! --Laurie Neiman, Broker/Owner, Marie Powell GMAC, Port Richey, FL From our first interaction with your office until now, we have received professional and prompt service along with materials that served valuable in promoting and post follow up to our event.. We have already received many compliments from the more than 300 clients and prospects who attended. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to make a difference in the career growth of others. Although your presentation is specifically geared to real estate, the principles and systems shared would easily translate to any sales profession.  --Traci Bacchetti, Regional Marketing Director Financial Title Company I want to thank you for your two fabulous presentations at our 82nd Annual Convention & Trade Expo in Atlantic City last week. We heard nothing but rave reviews from our agents regarding your presentations—many citing them as the highlight of their convention experience this year. --Maureen Murphy, CMP, Director of Professional Development, NJ Association of Realtors, NJ I have had the pleasure of working with Carla for several years. During that entire time Carla has been creative, progressive and thorough. She has also been an outstanding source of ideas. Most important however, is that she understands the “wants and desires” of agents while having the ability to assist agents in confronting their “needs”. For many agents, facing reality can often be a problem. Carla is also consumer centric in her approach to the business. As our business evolves and the market tightens those agents that have the best interests of their clients at heart will be the ones that succeed. Undeniably, Carla has the ability to view our business from a perspective that many others cannot. --Gary Scharr, Vice President, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic
