December 7, 2020 By Désirée Young Leave a Comment

It’s a brand new world…of pitching that is. On one hand, the idea of meeting someone in an elevator is less likely (I’m not sure if it ever was likely). But on another hand you can actually connect with angel investors, venture capitalists and other types of funders and potential fans easier than ever before […]

Testimonials

I was scheduled for a phone consult for Marketing Counseling at VentureWalk with Desiree. I am normally a person who prefers face-to-face appointments and was somewhat skeptical. I thought I wouldn’t get the full effect of a face to face encounter. However, it was totally the opposite. I was very pleased with my telephone appointment. I was quite… Suzanne VarnadoVarnado’s Design

Désirée of VentureWalk is a master at helping you master your message. At the end of the day, I know my business better than anyone else but that also means I didn’t always communicate things effectively because I assumed everyone got it. She was very helpful in getting me to refine my pitch and making sure I communicate the important points … Benardett Gno-FinnSénica

I’ve been lucky to sit in on several of Desiree’s Marketing training classes but I never imagined how insightful it would be to have a one-on-one training with her. After completing an assessment before our session she was very prepared to discuss Phat Pheet’s personal needs and challenges. Desiree gave me an overwhelming amount of great informatio… Erica DoucetPhat Pheet

Désirée, you are a gem and I gathered so very much from our conversation. I’ll develop scripts to use those very words that you make sound so VERY EASY TO DELIVER in my marketing and sales messages. I’ve got my work cut out — but now that I’ve got this “heads up” I can chart out an action plan to move forward. Erness Wright-Irvin, MHAEWIHC Consulting, LLC

Désirée and the team at VentureWalk are true professionals; it truly has been a pleasure having her work with me. After 20 years of operating my business, I’ve not worked with professionals that were good at what they do until I met Désirée. My business would not have made as great an impact without her. One single email message she developed… Tina EmenesTina’s Cajun Creations

Of the total evaluation forms collected, everyone rated your program and your speaking either excellent or good. We got comments including, “As a business owner myself, this workshop was very useful; using live examples was a plus.” I can’t thank you enough for agreeing to speak to our group. I’m sure we will return to New Orleans in a few … Ruth LudemanDirectorAEAP

VentureWalk has made the difference for me and my company. I was finally able to communicate a very complex idea, make it easier to understand and help others to appreciate why it matters and why it’s a viable business. Most importantly, working with Désirée has helped me to run and market my business better. I would recommend this service to a… Elizabeth ShephardLifeCity

The first thing I would like to say is when you are meeting with Désirée she gives you 100% of herself. You don’t feel like she has some place else that she needs to be but with you. To me that means a lot since the world we live in is so fast pace and all about multi-tasking. She is so right when she describes the business as a forward-thinking bu… Kathy RobinsonDragonfly Arrangements

Our organization works with Désirée to deliver training because she makes it easy to implement and I know our members will be satisfied and get quality content. Every event in which she speaks results in a packed house, her reputation draws a crowd and our organization is the better for it! Adele LondonGood Work Network
