Testimonials About Tammy and The Sales Refinery

"With the help of many resources, including yours, which was the best, I can stand in my office, headset on, and make cheerful calls without fear, trepidation, forecasting failure etc."

-Bob Dunn , Homelife Glenayre Realty

"Tammy Stanley was invited to be a feautured speaker at the Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon offsite sales meeting on August 18, 2005. I think her remarks were energizing, focused and well received.

She provided colorful stories around how the sales process can be more effective, which I believe will enhance our sales teams performance.

Tammy made a significant contribution to the overall success of our retreat, and I would highly recommend her as a motivational speaker."

-J. Bart McMullan, Jr. MD

"If you've ever had difficulty picking up the phone, then you need to implement the principals and techniques Tammy Stanley outlines in "Carpe Phonum."

I spend a lot of time on the phone and found several things that have already made it easier to make those sales calls I don't really want to make.

For what you get Tammy should be charging ten times what's she's asking.

This is a no-brainer if you're truly interested in being able to get over the fears you have about using the phone."

-Jon Keel of Improved Results, LLC

"In my opinion, Carpe Phonum effectively describes and treats the fear of cold calling at a fair price without any self serving hooks.

The program is a thought provoking pragmatic approach that strikes the heart of "phone phobia" by identifying and neutralizing the defenseless, yet powerful insidious false self living within each of us.

It also provides an insightful perspective in exercising common sense relative to one's actions and resulting consequences, regardless of occupation.

This is a must for salespeople afflicted with "sales call reluctance", particularly those desperately seeking a magical cure-all to relieve the condition."

- Stan Galkin of Viper-strike.com

"Something incredible happened and I wanted to share my excitement with you.

Your guidance was instrumental in me making a call that I would have missed out big time, if I hadn't. I was responding to a customer inquiry by email, when I thought, 'What the heck am I doing?' I jumped up and grabbed the phone and called him.

We had a great conversation, and I was sure he was going to sign up in my network marketing organization.

However, it turned out that a friend of his had signed up with someone else. He wasn't sure what to do, so he spent some time thinking it over.

He called back later on to tell me that he wanted to be on my team because he was so impressed with me. I have to tell you I am standing 10 feet tall right now.

I continue to listen to your CDs over and over.

Every day I have at least one AHA moment while listening. My value as a business person is something I am really beginning to understand. Consider me a life long friend.

I believe things happen for a reason and I am grateful I found your website, ordered the CDs and spent that precious time on the phone with you."

- Susanne Maguire of www.gogowild.com

"I drove home pretty jazzed about your presentation on many levels. All jazzed up with no place to go!

So I thought, I should stop by that place I've been meaning to, but then followed with, I should really be better prepared.

Thanks to you, I busted that trouble thought immediately. I did the opposite and went directly to that place, confidently introducing myself and presenting my service offering! It was awesome.

You have touched another one and added value for both me and my contact!"

- Pam Schmitt of Prismnet Resources

"You usually have to sift through a lot of material to find a few ideas that you can actually take to your business and start using right away, not so with the material that Tammy has put together.

This is real meat and potatoes training that tells you not only what you should do, but why you should do it. Knowing "why" makes it a lot easier to put action to the "what"!! I'm ready for my 2nd, 3rd and 4th helpings!!"

-Shelly F., PartyLite

"I have been in direct sales for almost two years. I do take training seriously and listen to all the online training that my company offers. I believe that knowledge, acquired through training and through personal experience, gives me the solid foundation to sustain a business longer in a successful way.

However, sometimes, no matter what my up line tells me, or what I hear from my own company, concepts do not appear to be as effective as I wished when I apply them.

I am the type of person who needs the what, the how and the "why" to do things. To me, it is valuable to reach outside of my circle and get enlightened by other professionals' experience and knowledge.

Tammy Stanley's training series provide me with the "why" I am looking for. She also presents concrete strategies to apply the concepts in an effective way. I have seen very positive results since I started my training with her. I am much more confident on the phone. I know exactly what to say and how to react... and seal the business."

-Rosi V., Premier

"I got much more than I had hoped for in Tammy Stanley's book "Carpe Phonum".

Tammy details areas of your personality that keep you from using the phone as an effective tool for business sucess. With Tammy's guidance I explored what my hang ups are and how to overcome them.

"Carpe Phonum" is not another self help book, it is more accurately described as a self exploration book with real life solutions to a problem all businesspersons face.

Well worth your time and money."

E. Amparan, AZ

"This is a very deceptive book. It looks thin and easy to read. On one level it is. But somehow Ms Stanley has cut right to the heart and soul of every salesman.

She speaks of that voice inside your head we all have. Inside these pages you will find the type of attitudes and beliefs needed to not only carry through but win the day.

I was surprised how long I took to read this book. It is clear, well written, but it makes you stop and think.

If you have to overcome obstacles in your day and life , this little book is one you need beside the phone or on your desktop."

- R. Nordman, Vancouver Canada

"After reading Your FREE Report "3 Simple Secrets to Attracting MORE prospects", I was able to easily reconstruct my 30-second commercial using the hints and tips you presented.

Was it a success? Absolutely!

Not only did I receive a round of applause from the two groups I delivered my commercial too, but I walked away with a bonus - a new customer!

And on top of that, the new customer, who expressed that she wanted just one item retailing for $18, walked away with a bag full of goodies totalling $118. Not too shabby for a 20-minute appointment!

Now I can't wait to read your e-zine each week. Thank you Tammy - my business is now headed in the right direction!"

-D. Gallagher, AZ

"Thursdays are very special because that's the day I receive your weekly ezine, The Sales Refinery Insights.

Since receiving and practicing the wisdom in your ezines, I have found the courage to pick up that 200 lb telephone and I'm even learning to ask for help. I want to thank Tammy for sharing with us with such wit and commitment."

-S. Westbury, Sales Manager, VA

"Getting Tammy Stanley's weekly ezine, The Sales Refinery Insights, has changed the dynamics of my business. I now look forward to Thursdays because that's when Tammy's ezine is waiting for me in my inbox.

Tammy is articulate and funny and her ideas are imprinted on my mind. Most importantly, she addresses the critical aspects of the network marketing and direct sales business.

For now, she is the best-kept secret, but someday everybody in marketing will know her name."

- E. Herrington, CO

"Your presentation at ABWA was a huge success. With networking so much a necessary part of the business model today, everyone could benefit from your message.

Your presentation significantly contributed to our mission. Wanda the WitchÕs energy, enthusiasm, and wonderful timing offered us a good laugh or two, yet was focused on the real message of presenting ourselves most effectively."

- D. Tucker, AZ

"Tammy Stanley's Conference presentation, "Carpe Phonum" was so powerful. I heard woman after woman say the same thing - I thought she was talking about me.

Tammy's skill at presenting comes out in her words, voice, body language, and of course her "props."

She was as skillful as any major speaker I've ever seen."

- S Robichon, MN

"You were fabulous! Everyone was so pumped up by what you had to say. And, without exception, the comments all around were that you were the best we've ever had!"

- P Wood, NM

"I met Tammy Stanley at the Women's Expo last month and I must tell you that she is helping me greatly. I've been receiving this weekly e-mail from her and really enjoying them.

There is no charge and I encourage you to subscribe!"

Z. Weaver, AZ

"Having the opportunity to be on Tammy's calls is awesome. I feel as if it is really a one on one call - very personalized.

You feel that she really does want to help you succeed. I thought just reading her weekly newsletters was an inspiration, but the seminars, I know, are going to put me over the top.

Thank you Tammy for all you do."

Sue Dickenson, Weekenders

"Thank you for the wonderful teleseminar last night.

You always put so much valuable information into your training sessions. Once again you have topped yourself and I am ready to 'skyrocket' my phone call results.

I can hardly wait for your next teleseminar."

Cindy Finley, Jockey Person to Person

"Tammy Stanley has some great direct selling tips.

She encourages you to take the next step by giving homework assignments and earning bonuses and more ideas!

This really helped me to not procrastinate because I really wanted to learn more and go out and try her tips. I Did! They work!!

This is one Tele-seminar that I feel I'm getting my money's worth! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks Tammy! You started a fire under me!"

Vera Cruz, Spring Branch, TX

"You were incredible tonight! I truly love your approach - it is direct and friendly and NOT pushy. I believe that works well with busy people."

Shelly Davis, Cookie LeeX

"Wow, Tammy! Thank you for your training. I can hear myself using the wording you gave us! I am so glad that I invested the time in your program."

Teresa Kuryn-Kohler, Cookie Lee

"I really enjoyed your training seminar. I have zero sales training so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was more than satisfied with what I learned.

I think for me the most important part was learning what I was doing wrong. You would mention mistakes that most new sales people make and I was making them. I was really excited to learn that and to begin to make changes and use the scripts that you taught us to create for ourselves. Thanks so much.

I look forward to taking more of your training classes in the near future."

Nadine Ellerbrock, TriVita

"I just finished listening to your teleseminar "The Secrets to Sky Rocketing Telephone Results," and I am so motivated to get on the phone and practice what I learned!

I now realize the importance of a script, the "attention getting words and the "Magic Word."

You have a way of presenting that made me realize how easy it is if you follow these steps.

You have such a gift of making everyone feel important. This is some of the best training I've had."

Carole Scovill, Freelife

"I've been to more seminars and I've been on more tele-conference trainings than I can count. Your tele-seminar was the first one that actually gave me the tools to create a script that I wanted to use and was comfortable for the way I choose to work with people.

Thanks for a great hour."

Kaye Lang, Weekenders

"I love your flair. I knew I would receive great information from you, but the call today far exceeded my expections! I learned a more comfortable way of asking for bookings and interviews on the telephone instead of the rote script I have been using.

Can you believe that I'm actually looking forward to making calls?"

Shirley Westbury, Weekenders

"Every person in sales needs hear what Tammy Stanely can do you!

Tammy is dynamic and easy to listen to, and she offers a softer, more effective approach to sales.

In fact, after this tele-call, I could not wait to get on the phone to call every lead I have in my lead notebook! I've never felt this motivated before. I never had the proper phone skills but now I do!

Tammy feels like EVERYONE'S best friend; who wouldn't want a best friend with skills like hers?"

Barbara Edwards, Cookie Lee

"Thank you for your time and awesome information! I just got off the phone with my director and we could not stop talking about your call tonight!

I was on another tele-class last night, and I gotta tell you... It was painful! I thought my watch was broken! There was a lot of talking, but no feeling of accomplishment in the end! I liked the "intimacy" of our call this evening. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate on it. It was very "not painful"!

I loved all of your information, but the part that gave me my "purpose" for being on the call was when you said NOT to use the "I have this date and that date available..." approach to booking shows! I felt like my name was on the call when you said that! I have never been able to approach someone like that, and I'm glad to finally hear that there is an alternative approach, and WHAT that approach is!

I look forward to your next calls, and only wish that I didn't have to wait a month to hear more words of wisdom.

I never thought I'd get to the point where I'd be excited about making phone calls, but I think I am!"

Mary Calderon, Cookie Lee

"There are two things I love about Tammy Stanley: After 15 years in the field of education, network marketing was very foreign to me. My company does an incredible job of training. It tells us exactly WHAT TO DO. However, I ran into two stumbling blocks, and Tammy addressed both of those issues the first time I heard her speak.

First, because I didn't fully understand the reasons or the theory BEHIND my training, I was neglecting parts of my business without even realizing it.

But more importantly, FEAR was a major obstacle in my life! I was actually dumbfounded when I listened to Tammy's CD Carpe Phonum because I felt as though Tammy had peaked into my daily activities and was narrating my life!

I was instinctively drawn to Tammy, because she KNEW exactly what was holding me back.

Tammy's advice helped me work through my fear and find the courage that was hiding just outside of ACTIVITY!!!

I would highly recommend Tammy Stanley to anyone who wants MORE out of life, and isn't achieving the results they desire!!! I frequently incorporate her ideas into my training for my own team."

Marilyn Cahill

"I've never met anyone as passionate about helping others succeed as Tammy Stanley. Her words will get into your head! Tammy helps you solve your reluctance to make calls for your business once and for all! It's worth every penny (and more!)"

Susie Nelson, Sr. Executive Sales Manager, Weekenders USA

"I've been to more seminars and been on more teleconference trainings than I can count that talk about how important a script is to business building.

Your "10 Keys to Skyrocket Your Telephone Results" teleconference was the first one that actually gave me the tools to create a script that I wanted to use and was comfortable for the way I choose to work with people."

Kaye L. Lang

"Wow! That was great last night, and I learned so much.

Tammy, what I like about your talks like this is you follow precept upon precept. You start from the beginning and finish what you are talking about.

You are clear, easy to follow, and to understand because of the way you present. Now I even know more why I liked your writing when I read that first ezine article by you. Thank you."

Jan Seibert

"I really enjoyed your training seminar.

I have zero sales training so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was more than satisfied with what I learned.

I think for me the most important part was learning what I was doing wrong. You talked about mistakes that most new sales people make and I was making them.

I was really excited to learn how to implement new techniques and strategies.

I look forward to taking more of your training classes in the near future."

Nadine Ellerbrock

"After attending so many conferences and trainings over the past 11 years what you said finally struck a cord with me.

You know they always say you need to hear an idea at least 5 times before it will actually sink in.

I think it's more about the person presenting the idea that creates influence than just the idea itself.

Just having used what I've learned so far from you, I have done much more in my business."
