For a national religious client, based in PA, John and I worked on several projects together including fundraising packages, monthly donor (sustainer) recruitment, special asks, emails and web copy.
John always completed the work on a timely basis including quick response for edits and sometimes on very tight time frames.
John’s writing was excellent and showed good knowledge of direct response fundraising strategies.
John stays up to date on trends in the fundraising industry.
John is easy to work with and cooperative.
On more than a few occasions, John offered good input and strategic ideas and the client was extremely appreciative of the support and the results.

I’ve known John for over 4 years as a colleague, mastermind member, writer for our magazine, book author and joint venture partner on some of our clients. And, I can tell you one thing is that John is a guy who is determined to get the job done for you when he’s on the case. He is very loyal and doesn’t give up even when things don’t keep going the way he or you want. When I’ve had some challenges, John’s been there for me.
He’s a skilled copywriter and really understands direct response marketing. He knows how to bring all the media together so he’s written long form sales letters, emails, press releases, radio scripts, web site copy, postcards and more for our joint clients. And, he’s a great coach keeping the clients on track. He’s not afraid to challenge them when he needs to and gets his points across in a way that you know he’s making sense. I’ve seen some of his work for his own clients and businesses and he’s really brilliant at summarizing the essential elements of marketing strategy. Then, he brings it to life in emotional direct response copy that really connects with the readers.
If there is one thing more important than any other, it isn’t a skill at all, rather a way of being, and that is trust-worthy. This is the thing I value in John more than anything else. He has become a dear friend to me, and one thing is for sure, life is too short to be involved with anyone that you can’t consider a friend. I’m honored to know John, have him work for me, and be given the opportunity to work alongside him on various projects. Yes, he is a great copywriter who gets results, yes, he is a great project manager and strategist, and yes, above all else, he can be counted up on to be supportive and steadfast.
Thank you John and if you’re considering working with him, you’re either lucky or smart, best thing is to stand back and give him room to work you’ll be happy you did, John will prove a valuable asset and intricate part of getting-things-done in your life and business, I know he has in mine.

“I opened the packet this morning. Within 30sec I had to get back up to grab a note pad and a high lighter. I didn’t have to read a bunch of crap to get the meat of the message. I just wanted to tell you I am excited about applying the recession responses. It is funny. When I talk to some people about all of the things I’m learning/doing they look at me like I am wasting my time. I am learning this is because I can see the goal so clearly although it maybe 5+ years away. It really is great to be apart of a like minded group who goes with their gut…”

“Being a member of mastermind group in Indianapolis, I am looking forward to having a group in Elkhart… It is always good to get together with “like minded” people to network and share ideas. If you are at all interested in growing your business, I would highly recommend that you attend all the Glazer-Kennedy events you can get to, including the local Chapter Meetings and the SuperConference. I have been to the SuperConference twice now and it has been worth every penny spent.”

“I want to take the opportunity to Thank You! for 2 things:
1. Writing your book
2. Giving me a copy.
It is really great John! I really can apply it to my business. I relate to what Dan talked about in the end with fighting to keep my business going. The page on cash flow was really helpful and also about not waiting till my business was fixed before expanding. I am at that point now and it almost gave me a push to go further regardless of outside circumstances.
Thanks”,
