Testimonials

These are all unsolicited. In fact, if they sound like e-mail, that's pretty accurate, because that's what most of these are - e-mails sent from happy clients.

Dan,
First of all. I'm pleased to say that after the first full week, sales are up 38%, and i still have not started using the sales letter yet, which accounts for about a third of all my sales. i am pencilling in a 50% increase overall. If you want an kind of testimonial, no problem or you can use what i have already written if its of any value to you.

-Andy Stephens CRV Solutions

Great work Dan! You did an excellent job of explaining what my company does, without clouding it with technical jargon.
-Bryant Cobarrubias DocEdge

Dan,
This is amazing! I am stunned! I was reading it, every line made sense...so beautiful. Just going off of a 3 page questionnaire and being able to deliver this quality is outstanding. I will consider your service for all our future projects...You can be sure that you have a customer for life.

Thank You, you truly made a difference in our project.
--Razmic Sarkissian Babiki Jewelry

WOW!
Can't wait to add it to my new website and into brochures...
Thanks,
-Casey, Hevla Coffee Company

Dan,

Hi Dan,
I LOVED what you wrote. I would hire me if I read this piece.
Thanks a lot for your help in this and more thanks for finishing it this fast. You are indeed talented.

Dan
I'm really happy with the feel/look of the site now. I think it really puts across what we're all about very well. The numbers of conversions have increased! Thanks.
-Lee Collins Cambridge Laptop Repair.

Dan,
All I can say is WOW !!!! The letter to my clients was exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant! I am already putting a folder of future projects together that I will need your help with. I am so very happy that I found your service.. and I look forward to working with you again in the near future! A thousand thanks to you for all of your help.

Dan,
Just a quick follow up: Our two websites, which you dressed up with your articulate verbiage, have been up and running for about 6 weeks. I have confidence that our message about how we do business is being clearly explained - a confidence I did not have before.

Additionally, although the crux of our focus is on Best Buys In Ojai.com, I've noted that the quality of web traffic has increased greatly to our other site, DeckertandDeckert.com. This surprises me, because there's not a lot of substance to that site. Sure it has our listings, but it mainly serves to tell people who we are. But through analytics and tracking I've noted that we get 3 times the number of web hits than before, and the length of time and number of pages visited have both increased as well. Impressive, considering the ONLY thing we changed on that site was the wording!

So again, thanks so much for your help! It was well worth it.
-Ray Deckert

--Dan note: - Sometimes, it's not about tons of business. It's about how you "feel" about your site. These folks have their websites more as professional support than anything - they don't expect a lot of business directly from them. But the confidence they now have in their websites helps them in all facets of their business.

Hi Dan,
I've put the project on my site and I'm so excited. For the first time I'm happy to send customers to the written part of my site (the "Style" and "Sharon G" pages). I got my first inquiry from the new info very late last night and I feel very confident because I know what you wrote highlights everything I want it to. It's everything I've struggling to get across and it sounds natural and professional.

Mr. Furman,
I was thrilled with your writing. So it pains me to tell you I had to take it down. Do you want to know why? I got too many calls and e-mails. I am a one-person design shop. Quite frankly, I was not ready for the business you brought me. But I'm working on hiring help.
-Monica (last name, company, and website withheld by request, as she'd rather clients didn't know she's a one-person shop.)

To Dan's future clients,

Please forgive if my recommendation is overflowing with enthusiasm. I've just read the resume and cover letter Mr. Furman created for me. All I can do is just shake my head and go: Wow. Seriously Wow!

Writing well seems to becoming a lost art and it's a pleasure to work with someone who writes so well. Actually well doesn't cut it. Let's go with awesome. His writing truly is awesome and not in the 1980's way. However, his ability goes beyond writing awesomely well. He knows how to solve problems. He listens to the needs, and desires of the client. When you're done, you get copy that'll help you succeed and/or solve your problem.

My problem was I struggled for months with finding a way to promote my abilities since I work in both the creative and analytical fields. As such, my resume and coversheet both feel diluted or "all over the place". Mr. Furman was able to take my broad skills and work history and turn it into a professional product. Instead of being diluted, I come off as "Qualified with extras".

Thanks to him, I have an advantage that'll help keep all the other job candidates away from "my job". Thanks again for the AWESOME WORK!
--Jen Taylor

--Dan note: I typically do not do resume's and such. I did Jen's because it was more of a marketing challenge than simply documenting her work history. Plus, she's a friend and colleague.

Dan,
You are Office Magic's secret weapon. The Google search that found you was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to me.
-Pat Wahl

Dan Furman is more than a Wordsmith -- he's a word genius! A website is nothing more than a pretty picture without a carefully crafted message; one that engages the audience and motivates them to a call to action. Many of our (web) clients have retained Dan to help them develop just the right message and are now reaping the benefits of his service. Thank you, Dan!
-Kelley Rao, President Webeze

Hi Dan!
This looks REALLY good! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your hard work! This is exactly what I was trying to achieve! It's very clear, direct, and easy to read!
-Carleen Perez CRP Solutions

Dan,
I came to you looking for help in writing compelling copy for my Real Estate web site. You listened to my needs and nailed it. I'm confident that my Web presentation is the best Scottsdale Arizona realtor site on the web. No question, the money I paid to you is an investment, that will return profits to me for years! Thanks.
-Sean Gaughan

Dan,
Your style is compelling, your communication with me during the project has been great, and your creative writing is top-notch. I would recommend your proven writing for anyone interested in a successful web presence.

-Dr. Bruce Collin (since retired from his business that I wrote for)

Hi Dan,

Just wanted to let you know read your book Do The Web Write. I live Australia and was able to pick up your book from the local library. I have completed a university degree in Journalism and so was caught up in the whole writing correct English etc. I just want to earn money writing for the web and I know I can write so now I am just going to do it. I was writing as if an English teacher was going to be marking me...and now I see the light..LOL..

So thank you Dan for your terrific, funny and useful book.

Regards
Nicole Jolley
