Testimonials
Charlie Hutto, Financial Advisor
“I used to be stressed out working long evenings cold calling house-to-house. I really missed family time with my wife and two boys. On top of that, I wasn’t able to bring myself to ask for referrals and was working my head off with too many unprofitable clients.
“All that turned around after working with Stan. He taught me more effective prospecting activities. I am now getting more profitable high-end clients and have exceeded my asset goals for the year. What’s more, I easily ask for referrals at every opportunity. In fact, I enjoy it.
What I enjoy even more is having six more evening hours a week to spend with my family. I love the lower stress lifestyle.“
Ronald Jones, Irongate Wealth Management
I was pretty discouraged before working with Stan. My prospecting activities were not very effective and I was uncertain about what to do or say.
Then Stan helped me target a niche and develop a prospecting plan. I found it very helpful when we focused on using scripts for prospecting, following up and getting appointments. I knew exactly what to say and I started getting better results. This was a big boost to my self-confidence.
I recommend him to other financial advisors and small business owners who want to take their business to the next level.

“My performance coaching sessions with Stan were invaluable. I received focused, impartial feedback. He helped me be at my best during a very important, longterm international project and contributed to my getting a great promotion.
I often consult the ideas on leadership and focus that we developed. I learned instant stress reduction techniques that enable me to remain clear-headed in high pressure situations. Hearing how other Solution Coaching clients solved challenges similar to mine was a big plus. Another bonus was learning how to get better performances from my people.
In summary, our coaching relationship has had a positive, lifelong effect on my career and personal life.”

“I have never written a testimonial like this, but I feel that I must. I started working with Stan Mann several months ago to help me focus my efforts to increase my business in more profitable areas.
This might seem a little strange, because I am a marketing consultant. My business is helping other businesses increase their sales, and I’m pretty good at it. I already had so much business that I had no free time left. So, why work with Stan?
The problem was the kind of business that I had. It didn’t contribute enough towards my overhead, and I hated what I was doing. It wasn’t taking me where I wanted to go. Yet, I kept getting the same type of clients, again and again. You’d think that an expert like me should be able to change the type of business that I attracted. I certainly had the skills. So what was wrong?
What was wrong was the way I was looking at my business. The issues were all in my mind. Stan worked with me until I realized what was affecting my decisions and judgments. He gave me some simple questions to ask myself which ultimately helped me avoid the wrong kinds of businesses.
Once Stan gave me the key, my workload dropped dramatically. I was no longer working on dead-end stuff. The right kinds of businesses started to develop for me. I started to feel good about what I was doing and it seemed so easy—with little effort compared to a few months ago.
Stan made it easy, but that’s because he custom fit his approach to me, and does so for each person he works with. If you are a highly talented individual who is frustrated by your inability to accomplish what you want, and unable to understand why, then you need to work with Stan. In a much shorter time than you think, you can be finding your way to much better results.”

“Go see Stan. I spent a lot of money with him—some of the best money I have ever spent in my life. I highly, highly recommend him.”
Jeff Hampton, Beta Sales & Marketing, Inc.
“Before Stan’s coaching, I dreaded getting out of my bed and going to my office. l knew that nothing good was going to happen. Now I get up eagerly to go to work because good things are happening. I had three huge sales in ten days. My business is no longer in jeopardy. My faith in myself is restored. I feel like the guy scoring a touchdown and spiking the ball.”
Sharon Oliver, M.D. Whole Life and Health Center
“Stan’s coaching has helped me become more organized—benefiting my patients as well as myself. My income is doubling. My mind is clearer, my energy higher and my heart lighter. I’m starting to turn my dreams into reality.
Stan gave me effective marketing ideas that doubled my patient visits, helped me be much more effective with my staff so they improved their performances, and gave me better support. He gave me goals and direction and held me accountable. He even helped me make my home life better. I eagerly look forward to our talks.”
T. Scott Kreinbring, CEO, Parkside Credit Union, Livonia, MI
"My experience with Stan was very positive and beneficial. I most appreciated the ability to discuss nagging, and new, issues with an impartial and uninvolved party. It’s not just about getting it off your chest that helps, it’s Stan’s trained ability to listen and ask the right questions. Very often, I hear the question and think “That is a great question!"
or me, it was about looking at things differently, or more thoroughly. Anybody thinking that Stan’s business coaching services may be beneficial is absolutely correct.”
