Absolutely Amazing!!!
I was having some problems finding my customers, but Martin made me realize that I wasn't having problems with that, I was having problems with my thoughts. I won't give away his secret (he gave me a gold nugget), but I will say that his method basically gave me an insight into what Ido that will make customers gravitate towards it because I not only KNOW my "why", I understand it on a whole new level. A million thanks to the man Martin Betz! I'm looking forward to continuing my work with him!!

From Interest to Intent, With Trust
This community helped me see sales and customer understanding through a much more precise lens. The discussions improve how you qualify, how you message, and how you move from interest to intent, while keeping a human and trust-based approach. If you are serious about understanding what your customers truly want and turning that into clearer offers and better decisions, Creating Progress is worth your time.

Worth joining
I joined through a recommendation and I have to say that this community is just fabulous. You get top-notch content, it is very well facilitated and most of all you learn a lot about about your customer, positioning yourself and your offerings and how to sell yourself in a better way to increase your revenue.

Engaging, Supportive, and so darn Helpful
Heather runs one of the most engaging communities I’ve found. The information and resources she creates for business owners are sharp, practical, and genuinely useful. I’m sure almost anyone could find something inside her community that helps them get ahead. But what matters most is that Heather actually commits herself to helping people get seen and increase their visibility. She showed me so much kindness and offered help wherever she could while I prepared for one of her Premium Spotlight events. And before I’d even finished setting everything up, I was already looking forward to scheduling my next one.♥︎ Highly recommend Heather, her community, and the Premium Spotlight experience.

What you put in you truly get back.
What you put in you truly get back. It seems like everyone authentically gets involved and it seems to be ever growing. I keep approaching this community as someone learning as opposed to someone teaching (and/or educating) but as I level up in this space, I'm starting to get a tad more comfortable with being myself here. Thank you, Heather, for what you are doing with this community and platform! 💚💚💚
