Testimonials

Shoshana led our board in a terrific two-hour workshop on the value of Audience Development. The presentation was tremendously helpful to us in defining our audience and has been a major influence in how we relate to our patrons. I'm convinced that our evolving work in Audience Development will lead to stronger relationships with our patrons.

I booked a series of phone sessions with Shoshana because I think in order for record companies and booking agents to take us seriously we need to have a certain number of fans that we have a great relationship with who consistently come to our shows. Shoshana helped me to channel certain hazy focuses I had into more solid avenues. I also learned more about my goal, what we really want to do with our music, and how we want to affect people. We are now building a relationship by finding out what people like and want so we can see through their eyes. Shoshana's sessions were fantastic- she followed up and she even helped promote!

She's a quick learner, extremely organized, and understands the importance of donor cultivation and communication. Shoshana helped us meet our development goals for 2008, and helped guide our board to a new level of engagement in fundraising.

Shoshana's orchestration of her workshops is a good demonstration of audience development in action. People mentioned to us they heard from her the next day to thank them for coming. I think that's an unusual and pleasing post-workshop experience!
