proof profession

have NEVER heard any
form of regret from
these folks who
stepped out and
followed their
passion! In fact,
here is an

HSR Invests in their
Member's Success...
Can you
imagine having a
website that compels
every visitor to
give you their email
address and then
automatically sends
those visitors a
follow-up series of
five professionally
designed, customized
and information
packed emails from
you over the course
of 30 days for
continual
relationship
building?
For less then the
price of a standard
web email marketing
package, HSR
provides this
Email Marketing
Package to their
members which will
help to insure their
marketing success
while saving them
tons of time thus
money! This is just
another product that
shows our passion,
dedication and
investment to our
Member's business
success!
If you're a home
stager who is
currently spending
time and money
driving traffic to
your website but not
capturing that
traffic, I encourage
you to review this
product and consider
coming aboard!

Another HSR Member
Success Story
Debra Rosser from
The Staging Matters,
and I met under
strange and somewhat
negative
circumstances but we
hit it off right
away! She had
already gone through
another training
program but wondered
if investing in
herself and more
training might make
sense for her. I
distinctly remember
her telling me that
she "wants to be
busy" and I knew
that since so much
of our training is
unlike any other
training available
in terms of Internet
Marketing, pricing
and process, I
assured her that the
investment would pay
off. Here was her
feedback to me a few
months later...
"If anyone is
standing on the
other side of the
HSR "members area"
like I was, and is
wondering if it is
really worth it to
step to the other
side? Could there be
so much more to
learn? Is this the
right course to
invest in?.... Just
like my clients make
more money and in a
shorter amount of
time by using me to
stage their
homes...I think HSR
trained stagers reap
those same benefits
from their training.
Jump on in. This is
it!!!"

Testimonials
The HSR Training Program is
a wonderful program that gives you lots of details on how to set up your
business. I loved the fact that you did not have to reinvent the wheel; all the
forms, checklists, contracts, sell sheets, pricing suggestions, everything is
provided. I especially loved the videos. Since this is a visual business it
really helped me to grasp the concepts. I signed up for the marketing package
also and got beautiful business cards, postcards and stationary in a very timely
manner. The fact that they have a website framework already set up for you is
invaluable. With their detailed instructions on how to customize, your website
is up in no time. I can't thank HSR enough for all of their support!
Terry Klock

I just want to let you know
how grateful I am for all the guidance that the Home Staging Resource training
provides to its members. Just as Audra mentions in the Week 1 Overview, I do
feel overwhelmed. However, it is comforting to know that so many resources are
available to me as an HSR member. I'm looking forward to starting Week 2 and I
must admit I do feel confident in going forward in this new business venture.
That confidence comes in large part to the support offered through the HSR
member web site. Thanks for creating such a comprehensive training package &
mentorship program Audra!

Audra,
Before I signed up for HSR, I went through another staging school which at the
time was advertising on HGTV offering a lucrative guaranteed income. I "jumped
through their hoops' and passed their tests only to be offered independent
contracting. ( I do all the work and they make the money--not for me!) I was
TOTALLY unprepared to be in business for myself in this industry after that 6
month experience! Talent is mandatory but specific business knowledge in this
industry is absolutely imperative!!
Thank God for you and HSR! Wow! I am absolutely "blown away" with your amazingly
thorough " A-Z++ " program in the Staging & Redesign industry! You have thought
of everything and then some! The ongoing extensive information, training, forms,
marketing tools, marketing solutions package and personal support you provide
are delightfully overwhelming! I now feel TOTALLY prepared to be a Professional
Home Stager thanks to HSR! I can't thank you enough Audra for helping me to
change my life and follow my dream! Your school is phenomenal!

"The HSR training program
exceeded my expectations. I can not imagine trying to start a home staging
business without taking this course. They provide so much helpful information.
It would have taken me many more months to get my business off the ground if I
had tried to do it on my own. Their support kept me motivated, the downloadable
documents kept me from having to reinvent my own forms and their marketing plan
provided a useful path for me to follow. It is worth every penny, and more!"

The HSR Training program got me on my feet, and I started my own business while
working full time. It 's filled with plenty of material, and guidance. The
program was fun and easy to follow. The web-site tutorials are great! I can't
thank Audra and everyone enough!"
Adrianna Dekrell
Dear Audra, I've been considering
the home staging and redesign industry for a couple of years. I decided 2010
was the year that I would change anything in my life that wasn't making me happy.
I want a fun, flexible, and fulfilling career. A friend tried to convince me
that I could do it without investing in training. You can't put a dollar amount
on the confidence feeling prepared gives you.
The training has far exceeded my expectations and worth every penny of
investment. Audra and her team has done an extraordinary job of researching and
documenting every aspect of this field. What impresses me most is her personal
communication with each subscriber and her devotion to continue to improve the
program. In my research for a training program, one graduate referred to Audra
as "no slouch." I feel I have all of the information I need to be successful and
know that HSR will be a resource I will continue to tap into for many years.

Dear Audra,
I can't believe how much your home staging course has changed my life! I have
worked full time as a hairdresser for 25 years and really needed a change. I
have always loved Real Estate and decorating and I have wanted to change careers
for a few years now but I had no idea what I would do. After doing some research
online I realized I could make a living doing what I'm good at and I'm so glad I
chose your program! You really have thought of everything, this training program
is amazing! I really loved the recent changes you've made and I just want to
thank you for giving me a reason to get up every morning excited about what the
day will bring!

"The HSR
Training is excellent!
I wish I would have trained with HSR when I first started my staging business
over one year ago! I would have paid for the training several times by now
with all of the mistakes I have made trying to figure out this business on my
own. Audra has made starting a staging business so easy with no guess work."
