"The trip to China,
from a business and cultural experience perspective, was beyond
successful. Wow... And it could have never happened without the
services you delivered in managing the development of our new website,
promotional video, print materials and connections with government
leaders..."

marketing plan for our entertainment business, including new branding,
website and customer service initiatives. They provided knowledge and
resources that are relevant, do-able and meet our business objectives.

ANCO Business Solutions has
been a support to Special Olympics Lethbridge since early 2005 and has
taken on several initiatives on our behalf. We are very pleased with
their ability to plan and organize, generate support from the business
community and media, and keep us up to date on the status of projects.
As well, they wrote, designed and produced a new postcard and brochure
that wonderfully expresses the mission of Special Olympics Lethbridge
and the commitment and courage of the athletes we support. Thank you.

"Colette has helped me build my
business in many
ways over the years. She has the rare ability to really listen to what
my
dreams and visions are and then propose totally realistic, do-able steps
to
achieving them. She has a good sense of business practice and a deep
respect
for the mystery of hope and enthusiasm in making dreams come to life.
Thanks
for all your support Colette!'
Denise Gagné Williamson, Owner, Listening Voice Media
"Dear
Colette... Thank you for organizing the speaking date with Tim Strom.
This allowed our middle and high school students to recharge their
batteries and bring life to recalibrating who they are, where they are
going, and how they are going to be fulfilled... with his inspiring and
empowering message that failure is normal in our everyday activities
but does not define us!"

Ms. Acheson had been recommended to our
office by PDD South Region. Together we have developed an upcoming
community event which will encourage interaction between the disabled
and non-disabled population in southern Alberta, and also is working on
our behalf to produce and publish a new book containing stories and
essays from many of the families we serve.
In
working with her on the book as well as some of our new presentation
materials, I have been impressed with Colette's ability to communicate
in ways that can inspire and connect us to each other. Colette has
demonstrated repeatedly her respect and commitment to advocacy for all,
and has a good understanding of our needs and processes as a non-profit
operating under the direction of a board.

I am
writing to endorse Colette Acheson as an advisor on our recent business
plan. Ms. Acheson was instrumental in refining the ArcSys FrameWorks
business plan and providing much appreciated enthusiasm for the project.
She went the extra mile without hesitation, and provided finishing
services beyond what most would have expected from a consultant. Thank
you Colette, may your future associates enjoy working with you as much
as I have.

Colette, in a very friendly, down to earth, professional
manner, listened to, supported and expanded on my ideas for a small
business. She willingly shared her expertise
as a sales guru, her connections to a network of relevant businesses, associations
and organizations and her knowledge of the
community. Any doubts I had for moving forward with my business ideas vanished
after only one productive, informative meeting.

Over
the last
several years I have hired ANCO Business Solutions for several different
projects. I have written,
produced and am now distributing my sixth book/CD package.They have
provided
strategy, direction and focus in identifying and developing distribution
channels, writing sales
letters, brochures and other promotional materials, and creating
opportunities to publicize my work. As a small business owner, it is
critical to have access to external expertise that understands and
supports my business goals. I will continue
to use and recommend their services frequently.

Development workshop, it was excellent and very informative, and the
presenter is one of the top facilitators in this field.

My
work as a writer and editing consultant is very specialized. Concerned
about developing some professional promotional materials, I sought the
help of an expert. Together we created a series of tools that are both
esthetically pleasing and affordable to produce. In working with ANCO
Business Solutions, I felt as though I had a supporting partner, one
with a long range vision.
