What others say about Carmen
“Jason’s enthusiasm about my idea for a new venture and his no-nonsense practical advice on how to make it happen were invaluable in helping me get my new business up and running. I’m happy to recommend “How To Find More Direct Clients” to anyone willing to get out of their comfort zone and put in the time and effort needed to make a difference to their business.”
Marie-Hélène Hayles
“I found the course really useful in terms of an essential aspect, which is how to price my services and to not be afraid of charging my full worth. I didn’t realize how far below market price I am/was charging, because I´ve had no-one to actually compare myself to. So that was a HUGE takeaway for me. And of course everything else we talked about was equally helpful, and I intend to put it all into practice.”
Colleen Terry
“I had been challenged with direction and the finer administrative details within my business. Carmen was able to create content for me in my language and energy for my community. I’m so impressed with the quality of the work created for me. If I could suggest one way to grow and refine your business, it would be to connect and work with Scribe Cartel.”
Kylie – Tua Pa Sound
“Carmen is an amazing copywriter who always creates content that my clients love. Plus she’s communicative, responsive and super easy to work with. I highly recommend her.”
