Just to say how much I appreciate you organizing this group - it’s so good to be able to chat and hear from like-minded businesses who are trying to do the same sort of thing. And to have your excellent wisdom from many years in the business - it’s priceless!

I love EXM. I like getting your perspective as a seasoned greeting card person (guru). It's usually a more tough-love and often more practical than what I get from my peers. I think it's the way you have the prep sheet set up with the introspective questions. EMM has been really good for me in terms of getting out of my head and getting clear on things. Your guidance, tips, and reassurance have been invaluable!
