Testimonials!
“[…] I really appreciated all the support you’ve given over the past few months and going through learning curves with me. We would not have been able to sell as much clothes as we did without your helps, so I am definitely grateful for that. […] All the best with LocAlley as well, and with your piano lessons! I’m sure we will connect soon!”
– Burch Smith, Founder of Cyanic Clothing
“It is with much enthusiasm that I recommend LocAlley…took the time to truly understand my niche market…I appreciated the individualized attention, especially the weekly meetings … Michelle and her staff were easy to work with, and they delivered high quality customer service. Through many teachable moments, I have learned how to access social media “behind the scenes”, …I highly recommend LocAlley and look forward to working with them again!”
– Samantha Atkinson, Founder of Musica Music School
“Congrats Michelle. It also is a good reminder that not all solid businesses need VC money nor to be large to make a nice living for families and intergenerational wealth. It also shows the strength of you and your family (adpopted or otherwise). Running a music lesson business is a low barrier to entry business, but you and your family have thrived despite that competition. Having met you now several times, I can see why.”
-Mike Smith, Corporate Lawyer, Angel Investor
“Attendees REALLY enjoyed your session and walked away so inspired. I don’t know what you did in there but they had nothing but praise. Thank you for being a part of our first ever major funding event!”
— Hani Ali, Scadding Court Community Center
“I would say one of my favourite moments was the superwoman pose and the meaning behind it. Felt super empowered from the start until the end and it gave me motivation to present my pitch to the other participants. Thank you for an amazing workshop Michelle!!”
