Testimonials
"I do individual coaching with Aletta in addition to implementing the info I get from the program. It's a powerful combination, and I get individual attention and Aletta's wonderful ability to laser in on what will help me the most. I move forward in my business quickly, and always make back my investment within a couple of months. Thank you Aletta!!"

"Aletta is very organized and professional. I am so happy I had the chance to work with her. She has amazing insight and is has very valuable knowledge about the art world."
~ Scott Erb, Photographer
"Not only have you provided guidance through the basic steps in art marketing and answers to my individual questions, but the regularity of the Member Program has kept me focused on my career goals - to say nothing of actually verbalizing what those goals are! Artist Career Training has given me the confidence to take many more steps than I would have considered a year ago. Thanks for all you do, your organizational skills, the professional ease with which you monitor the bi-weekly calls. I value the contacts I have made in this group and if there is one thing that makes me a success, it will be the A.C.T. influence."
~ Graduated A.C.T. Member Patty Cunningham
"I joined A.C.T. and then a year later renewed as an "A.C.T. Graduate" as I have come to realize that despite all my activities in the art world, I still had a LOT to learn, and that this was a place where I could learn at a slightly faster pace. It is when you think you know it all that you are starting to go off on the wrong path. What I get out of A.C.T. more than anything else is a boost with my morale. Let's face it, when you get rejected several times a month it is murder on ones spirits. And I find it is surprisingly hard to talk with other artists in my town about career issues. A.C.T. TeleClasses especially seem to get me pumped up to go out there and try it again ("and again, and again")
~ A.C.T. Graduate Philip Koch
"I haven't been able to participate that much in the group (I'm supposedly a 'grad'at this point) due to my heavy schedule/travels and spontaneous marketing events, but I've found that however or on whatever you spend your time in the group, even only reading Topica, you always find some info that can be important to your own individual process. I've even found some of the negatives to be positive contributions."
~ A.C.T. Graduate Warren Koch (No relation to Philip Koch)
"It is really helpful to see the dealer's side of doing business and the need to be totally professional. This A.C.T. course is a real eye opening and help in putting a more polished and professional face forward."
~ A.C.T. Graduate Mary Agrusa.
"I wanted to let everyone know that this program is still helping me. I find that many of the answers to the questions I am asking myself are being answered by A.C.T., and in the least evasive way. I am very much in a challenging situation with all my paperwork. But, this month I was able to define an organization strategy more effectively. And perhaps understand how important a schedule is. That's a tough one for me, I tend to fly by the seat of my pants and deal strictly by intuition (or gut hunches). I've always said its part of being creative, but perhaps it's just the part that keeps you on the bottom."
~ A.C.T. Graduate Liz Nichols
"Thank you A.C.T. members and of course to our leaders. It's because of your input that my art business has really pulled together and is rolling along at a smooth pace."
~ A.C.T. Graduate Gail Ingis Claus
"Diane, know that you will be a great addition to the group. Even though I haven't been able to be as active in the group as I'd like, I have received untold energy and help from Geoffrey right through the whole class. Guess we just have to keep on keeping on, huh?"

"I've missed a couple of classes do to our workshop season which has now finished up for the year. I'm sure you know I signed up to be an ACT Grad. I'm excited! I was undecided at first, but then in the last TeleClass I kept learning stuff I didn't know, so I figured I need to stick around for a while longer."
