I have always enjoyed working with emerson consulting on various projects. I have found them very helpful, proactive, and always available as needed. They have brought us many media opportunities over the years which has allowed me to establish experience working with the press or other outlets. I now have many direct relationships with the media and have created an extensive portfolio of recognition. They have always been great to work with and they appreciate how to balance our needs for public relations efforts with our daily work.

As a result of our engagement of emerson consulting group, our firm has grown considerably. The team of Ken Lizotte and Henry Stimpson has benefited us enormously.

I was once asked by a friend how to write a recommendation. I don’t take writing recommendations lightly. I thought of the most recent company I have been in contact with and what I liked about this company. My own career was successful because I gave my customers MORE than what they paid for… I was always available to answer any and all questions (no matter how trivial). This conveys my knowledge and experience to my clients, and as a result, they would see my pride in working for them firsthand.
In the preface of my book, Building Your Bridge to Sales $uccess (Bridge Series Books, 2011), I started with three very important ingredients needed to be a success in business and sales: Honesty, Integrity and Morality (HIM ). I would never hesitate in recommending emerson consulting group inc. The staff is so attentive and responsive and its editor Carl Friesen is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Most important was owner and President Ken Lizotte and his involvement. Ken once said to me, “You’re a lot like me.” I take that as an honor, to be in his company. I highly recommend Ken and his company and its excellent services.

Publishing articles and getting quoted in the media are excellent for credibility. They are an important part of the process for landing new business. Ken's team has helped us make this happen.

I have worked with Ken for nearly a decade. He is, without a doubt, my strategist in chief for my marketing communications strategy. I can't count the number of ways he has opened my thinking to new approaches, new technologies and media for publishing, promotion and customer service. He does it all with modesty, which I really appreciate. I know when we meet or talk that something good, interesting, thoughtful and productive will ensue. Even though I am located in New Mexico, 2,500 miles away, his service is not in the least diminished. He is worth every penny I have spent with him and his team. Thanks, Ken.

I just got back from a speaking presentation and wanted to let you know that you should be very proud of your part in our company's success. When I was being introduced, I listened to my bio being read and all the credentials of where I (and my team) had been published. As all the places we've been published were being read, I started to have an "out-of-body experience" as in... "He's talking about me? That's me!"
So I just want to thank you. Had it not been for us hiring you and also for your being willing to work with us through these difficult times and continuing to pursue new opportunities for us, we wouldn't be in this positive state right now. I'm sure it's going to lead to more business opportunities for us and for that I thank you very, very much.

I hired Ken Lizotte to represent me and find a publisher for my fifth book "How to Grow a Business by Putting People First" (originally published as "Lead with Your Heart"). Ken came highly recommended by others who had hired him to help with their publishing and thought leader efforts. Although this was my fifth book and I had once earned a living as a free-lance writer, Ken's sage advice made both my book and magazine articles better before he found a publishing outlet for them. If you strive to be a thought leader, I highly recommend you to hire Ken and his team.

Ken,
Thank you so much for your wisdom, insight and support during this process of seeking a publisher. Without your guidance, I would never have sealed the deal! From the early stages of advice to the excellent direction provided by your editor, we put together a solid proposal that positioned me as a thought leader and generated interest as well as praise from numerous publishers. Not only did you negotiate well on my behalf, but you understood the value of finding the right partner who would be the best fit for my long term goals. I couldn't have done it without you.

Ken Lizotte and his company emerson consulting group have helped to keep my consulting practice healthy for the last several years, thanks to such actions as:
- Helping me write and publish articles regularly (in print and web venues) that I use daily in marketing my practice
- Supporting me in creating a regular e-newsletter that my clients love (the single smartest marketing move I've ever made)
- Finding me a publisher so that I could publish my first book... and dream about publishing more!
Therefore I've since recommended Ken and his team with enthusiasm to many colleagues who have asked me - How did you do this?

Ken, without your support and expert advice, Catalytic Management would not have achieved such terrific growth. Every article solidified our reputation, garnered national speaking opportunities or generated leads. Credibility is everything to a consulting firm and your work to establish me as a thought leader has been invaluable. Not only is your support indispensible to our marketing efforts but you make it fun and painless. Looking forward to a long partnership and hopefully that book you keep insisting that I write!

Visibility solves TONS of problems for us. The more we're seen, the more believable we are. The more we're seen, the greater credibility we have. The more we're seen, the LESS we need to pursue them and the MORE they pursue us... it eliminates or reduces sales resistance. We've been two years in the emerson fold, and we began with articles - they got more than 15 placed in the first year, all in prestigious national or regional journals. Then we moved on to PR, and we continue to get regular mention in appropriate venues. Now we're expanding into radio and speaking venues. The results are good, and so's the value.

Ken Lizotte and emerson consulting group have been hugely instrumental in helping me grow my business through publications and speaking engagements. The thoughtleadership you helped me achieve has resulted in 5-figure consulting engagements where I've won out over competitors because I had greater credibility and a stronger brand. Thoughtleading efforts have also been the key to my success in gaining entrée into local and international publications, large and small. Because of this, I've even been named as a contributing editor with a bi-monthly feature in a national publication in my field.
I highly recommend Ken and his team for his promise to create thoughtleaders and especially his ability to deliver!

Thank you for all you have done, and for bringing such skill to every aspect of the project -- putting me together with your book editor who was the ideal collaborator, providing great advice in the creative stage of the process, locating not one, but two good publishers, negotiating expertly with them both, providing wise guidance, and most important… getting results. I'm delighted it has worked out with McGraw Hill and look forward to signing a contract and getting the project going.
Suzanne Bates
President/CEO, Bates Communications
I'm getting back to you to thank you for the overwhelming amount of information and guidance you have provided me. Both you and Ken had said something about "leveraging my articles" for further opportunities. Phew! I'll say: you've got my business goals mapped out into perpetuity!
