More funds with fewer people

We just got a voicemail message that made our day!

The message was from Amy Vorhees, a stay-at-home mom who leads a pretty new pro-life ministry that has only conducted two previous banquets.

This year, as Amy’s organization was gearing up for their banquet, attendance numbers were way down — and Amy decided to sign up for the Banquet Success training program in hopes that it would help boost her event’s income.

Rather than tell you about what she learned, how she implemented her new found knowledge, the incredible results she generated — and what this meant to her ministry — Amy gave us permission to let you hear her exciting three-minute message.

Shawn was thrilled to hear many more success stories from other Banquet Success students who attended last week’s Heartbeat International conference in Orlando.

He was pleasantly surprised by the buzz about the Banquet Success system being given away by Gloria Leyda with Ambassador Speakers Bureau. (Ten minutes after Shawn walked into the conference, a pregnancy center director he had never met grabbed him and said, “Please draw our center for the free training, we need it!”)

Congratulations to Rachel Rosebrock, Director of Choices for Life Pregnancy Center in Easton, Maryland whose name was picked by Gloria in the free drawing.
