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.

The owner/leader of this community is personally welcoming and extremely responsive. This community’s has a large amount of members and Heather still makes sure to make your experience inside feel unique. The structure of the community is genius! Incredibly easy to navigate, and engage in. I first entered this space as a buyer/looker. When I was ready to transition to being community owner myself I knew exactly where to find guidance and advice. Everyone inside here is so honest and helpful. When I was ready I upgraded to the extremely affordable premium plan and it has given my community the exposure it needed. If you are looking for a supportive community that offers affordable visibility options for your community or business, this is the one for you!! Come join us and become part of a large networking family.
