CEO David Schnurman of Lawline LLC gave Jeanne a “9” Customer Satisfaction rating and also endorsed his fractional CMO engagement in The Young Entrepreneur Council article published by Smallbiztrends.com. “Working with an outside expert allows you to dive deep into a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis with an unbiased viewpoint. In addition, she will ask you the right questions to guide you to what is urgent versus the long-term opportunities. While this slows down the process at first and could be expensive, in the long run, it will speed things up and make you more money.”

Steve Farley

CEO, Regus North America

Jeanne was the first and only CMO we ever hired.

In a two year period, sales doubled and cost per transaction was cut in half. She opened digital marketing channels and built a new web site in 6 months that improved conversion while also increasing traffic. Jeanne is a highly effective executive, adept at outlining a sound strategy and comfortable presenting plans and strategies to the Board. Due to her efforts, we successfully sold the company to Bain Capital in 2013
