Success stories from happy clients

Read what people who have personally worked with me have to say!

I always say to Marianne “I feel like I can rule the world after I talk with you…” Her response is ALWAYS “You can!!!!”. I really don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for her in my Home Staging Business. By far the #1 investment I have made in my career and personal life was to hire Marianne.

I highly recommend you join Marianne Cherico’s Group Coaching Program if you are wanting to grow your home staging business.

Marianne is absolutely delightful and the best staging coach!

Marianne genuinely cares about her stagers and wants them to grow, succeed and prosper. Marianne really goes above and beyond in her group coaching. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much in the last 6 months of Marianne’s coaching group. I have received so many tools and resources such as marketing pieces, email scripts and presentations to use in my staging business. Marianne gives 150% in each coaching session and makes sure everyone’s questions are answered, even if that means the session runs longer than scheduled.

Thank you so much Marianne!!

I am a coach and when I need a coach I call on Marianne. Solid calm mindset, very reassuring and will always make you feel better and empowered. Highly recommended.

I can’t recommend  Marianne highly enough. She was so encouraging with my business. When I had to decide whether or not to invest in warehouse space, Marianne was a huge champion of my enlarging my business.

I can honestly say, I don’t know whether I would have made the “warehouse leap” if it wasn’t for her guidance. If you are confused- or just need answers, invest in getting Marianne to coach you. She knows everything…and if she doesn’t – she ‘s great at getting you in touch with someone who has the answers. 

I just love her and am so glad I had her council me.

Participating in the Client Attraction Mastermind was one of the best decisions I ever made for my business.  If I really wanted my business to grow (and I do), I had to “become more visible.”  But how?  This is Marianne Cherico’s specialty!!  Every session,  Marianne brought us valuable marketing techniques with specifics on HOW to proceed and WHY it worked.  She IS a successful stager and was willing to share everything – nothing held back!  I am still working on putting all of these techniques into action – but I now have a plan and know exactly what to do!  But as valuable as all that is, Marianne taught me something even more important!  She calls it “mindset.”  She taught me that if I don’t believe I have something of value to offer – I mean REALLY BELIEVE IT – then all the marketing techniques in the world wouldn’t help my business to succeed.  And trust me, I had some issues here!  But Marianne never tired of helping me work through these issues.  Marianne will be your biggest cheerleader and having her support – someone who really “gets it” – will be and continues to be one of the best gifts that came out of this Mastermind!

Marianne Cherico is an amazing person with great insight and knowledge in the Real Estate and Staging Industries.  I had the great pleasure of hearing her speak at the Empowered Entrepreneurs Conference in Toronto.  She was extremely motivational and had great ideas for taking your business to the next level.  I was inspired and walked away with real ideas to implement in my business.  But even better then getting to hear Marianne speak, I got to meet her and get to know her as a person.  I was very impressed with her kind heart and caring spirit.  As a stager and former Realtor, Marianne not only understands your business model but she understands the business model of your target market!  You could not ask for more in a business coach.  Her coaching style will defiantly get you where you need to go.  I would highly recommend Marianne!

Simply Organized & Staged

Marianne Cherico recently took to the stage at the Empowered Entrepreneur’s Conference in Toronto to speak about the power of mindset, which I truly believe trumps every strategy, every action, every plan we set in motion.

I’ve known Marianne for years and have always loved her “can-do” spirit. If you need a cheerleader on your team, you’ve found her.

Marianne’s careful observation, training and research throughout the years has led her to empower dozens of home stagers from the inside out to grow their business…and it all starts with mindset.

She has reminded me that focusing on an empowering mindset is the key to growth and success. It includes making better choices in our thoughts and building habits that propel us into a business we want and love.

This is where coaching can be a complete game changer, especially if your coach is Marianne!

I approached Marianne after hearing her talk on a Home Staging summit and I was impressed by what she had to say as well as her empathy with newbies like myself. I had been struggling with a lot of mindset issues- some of which I hadn’t realized were affecting my business and I didn’t realize how I was sabotaging my visibility and success.

Marianne has been wonderful in talking me through this so that I now look at my business in a totally different way.

I no longer listen to those inner demons we all have about visibility. Now I believe I can put myself out there and attract my ideal clients. That shift in perspective has taken my business from strength to strength.  Instead of waiting for customers to find me, I am out there actively seeking them! 

Marianne has also helped me find ways to attract clients, some completely new ways I wouldn’t have thought of and some more traditional ways with a modern spin on them.  She has encouraged me to ‘think outside the box’ when it comes to marketing my company and is always in my corner supporting me.  Through her encouragement I have changed and grown as a person and in doing this my business has changed and grown along with me.

I have gone from ‘oh do you really think I could’ to ‘heck yes I can!’

I tell all my friends about Marianne. She has changed my life.  I am more confident in myself and able to sell my business by knowing my true worth and the value of what I am offering.

Perfect Match Homes

I’ve been staging since 2008 and this year I decided to up my game by hiring a coach. After hearing Shell Brodnax, the President of RESA, interview Marianne Cherico I knew that I had to work with her and I was NOT disappointed! 

In just a short time I was on my way to doubling my annual earnings, gaining even more confidence with clients, up-leveling my marketing, defining my ideal client, exploring other home staging related career options that I had not previously considered, defining my business model so that it works for me, my agents, and home sellers, and finally, setting boundaries for a better quality of life. 

 It can be lonely working as a solo-preneur and Marianne helped me break out of my comfort zone, and gain clarity which propelled my business like never before.

At Well Staged Home

I came to Marianne looking for support in my journey to a new mid-life career.

I needed help thinking about goals and obstacles and wasn’t sure what direction made sense for me.  I’d never worked with a career coach so I really wasn’t sure what to expect.

Marianne stepped in with just the support I needed. Marianne’s advice and coaching were a complete game changer.  From our first conversation and phone coaching session, until I had the pleasure of meeting her in person, Marianne offered support and inspiration. She was able to focus me, offer suggestions and be my “cheerleader” every step of the way.

It is hard to put a monetary value on  her personality and knowledge but I can say it was money well spent. I highly recommend Marianne’s coaching service and hope to work with her again in the future.

Marianne’s life & business coaching was nothing short of motivating, encouraging & enlightening.  And, her optimism is contagious!   Marianne took the time to really listen & understand what challenges I was facing both personally & professionally with juggling the demands of being a mother & operating my staging business–I was overwhelmed and knew I needed help!

Marianne’s expertise & guidance not only as a coach but also being the owner of a home staging business herself helped me realize the limiting beliefs that were holding me back and gave me the tools to define what I truly wanted & needed for myself, my family & my staging business.

Marianne has taught me to redirect  my energy on all of the abundance rather than lack in my both my personal & professional life with gratitude and positive, focused-intent—I now have the balance to enjoy my family & do things for myself without guilt & have clearly defined my ideal clients, assistance & resources to steadily grow & move forward in my business.

Home Staging By Lisa

I was lucky enough to attend Marianne Cherico’s seminar at the 2016 RESA CONVENTION. Her topic was “Three Game Changers for Growing Your Business”. I took away so many valuable lessons from the seminar but my favorites and the ones I continue to play in my head are:

  • Ask yourself: Am I playing to win or playing not to lose?
  • Am I fear driven or approaching my business from a state of abundance?
  • How is it my mindset effecting my success?

Marianne helps business owners understand what may be holding them back. She  has personally helped me to put the pieces in place to grow and thrive, not  only from a business perspective but personally as well. She is an invaluable source of inspiration and I am so blessed to have learned  from her.

Stage to Move

“It has been such a pleasure to work with Marianne Cherico. With compassion and wisdom she has helped me to see things more clearly and focus on what I really want in my life. Her laser focus on my agenda helps me identify what is important to me, and recognize the things that stop me from playing a bigger game.”

“Marianne is also quick to validate and applaud all of the steps I have been taking in my personal and business development, always assuring me that I am moving on the right path and to just be patient with the process. I am so grateful for her guidance and truly believe that she is helping me to create my best life ever!”

I’ve become better by taking Marianne Cherico’s Mastermind classes. She gave me the tools that I needed to get to that next step in my business. Marianne also gave me the confidence I needed to approach people that I wouldn’t have and most of all SHE made me believe in myself that I can do this!!! Thank you Marianne for all you’ve done for me. You’re a great coach!!!

Marianne rocked the stage at Empowered Entrepreneurs and inspired us to look deeper inside ourselves to elevate our business and become the “go-to” home stager that we all desire to be. I have truly never met anyone like Marianne. She is such an inspiration – a powerful force with an upbeat outlook and approach. If you are looking for a coach that will tell you the tough truth while being your personal cheerleader, you will find what you need in Marianne.  With a system for taking control of your goals and executing them with precision, there is nothing that you cannot achieve with Marianne in your corner.
