Read what students are saying about Elinor’s classes:
Dear Elinor,
"It is my great pleasure to recommend Elinor Stutz. I am the co-leader of the Business Development and Marketing Special Interest Group for the International Association of Coaching.
Elinor presented a tele-seminar to our group recently. Her presentation was polished and well organized. She tailored her material to our needs and gave many relevant examples. One thing that really stood out about Elinor's presentation was how she gave us a glimpse into her own story and struggles.
It is clear that Elinor is a woman of courage, bravery, and determination! Her words were both inspiring and encouraging. If you are considering Elinor as a sales trainer, you will find her approachable and knowledgeable. I know you'll be very pleased with her services!"

I really enjoyed attending your three part series sales seminar. I found it to be beneficial in several ways, first the two hour segments were ideal because I was able still able to get in a full work day. The other unique aspect I enjoyed was the class participation. The other attendees had some strategies to share or challenges and we were able to learn from each other as well as teach each other. I now approach a sales lead as making a new friend. After the inspiration I got from your class, I decided to be bold and take action. As a result, I was able to get three public speaking engagements as well as a appearance in a national magazine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

“You delivered information way above and beyond all of your competitors that I have ever witnessed in my long corporate experience. You are very generous with giving value to the extent of which I have not seen before. You offer and demonstrate the meaning of integrity and credibility.”

“Dear friends, this morning I participated in a teleclass with Elinor Stutz, author and CEO of Smooth Sale. Entitled “Seven Secrets of Relationship Selling,” the teleclass was a great way to begin my day. Elinor has loads of good information to share with women at all levels of sales expertise -- those experienced in selling and those who are sales-phobic. Her approach is all about using what women excel at (skills like reading others and listening) to get your foot in the door, using client objections to your advantage, and earning undying customer loyalty. If you get a chance to hear Elinor speak, take it!”

“I received some coaching from Elinor about business and sales relationships, which is what she is an expert at, relationship-based selling. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from and answers questions so easily. She has a great program she offers that takes clients from the beginning of building relationships to finding out what their clients are really looking for and a way to determine if there is a mutually beneficial relationship.
What this means for me is that relationships are still key, but that there is also a process that works along the way. Any question that I asked of Elinor, she was able to describe so easily how she would respond and what worked for her. The caring and heartfulness behind Elinor's responses were always shining through! She truly has developed a great business and reputation as a successful author because of her experiences in sales, while making the relationship of most importance! It's the new way! She's truly a leader in her field!”

“Having recently completed my first Upliftment program, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowlege Elinor Stutz and her many contributions to WE. I first met Elinor during her five week business class, where she presented herself as an exceptional teacher, a highly experienced and successful business woman, as well as an international author and public speaker.
Elinor demonstrates great wisdom, integrity, perseverence and self-confidence, while at the same time, she has a very appealing sense of humility. She approaches life and business in a heart-centered manner and really understands and is committed to a genuine life of service.
In addition to attending Elinor's classes, I have also read her book, " Nice Girls Get the Sales," which has become a best seller. Elinor's writings are practical, very well organized and documented, as well as very empowering. She has a fabulous sense of humor and knows how to engage the reader with wonderful personal stories that energize her audience with her warmth, kindness and her ability to go the extra steps to help another person. In September, Elinor's second book "Hired" will be released, giving readers further opportunities to learn from her unique style and expertise.
Elinor is truly a gifted woman and WE is very fortunate to have her among the staff. She consistently models collaboration and has a wonderful aptitude for uplifting others. So whether you are just starting up a business or are already a seasoned business person, Elinor has something valuable to offer everyone, who wishes to invest in their success, not only as a business professional, but also as a magnificent human being.”
