What Marketing Seminar Participants Say

All the sessions were incredibly beneficial. Thank you!! … It was so packed with vital information! — Seminar Participant

So much good info – so well delivered. — Seminar Participant

On behalf of the board at Covenant Christian School, thank you for doing a terrific job. Your information and ideas will be of great benefit to our school. What struck me most is that we should be partnering with parents so their child may be like Daniel, Moses or Esther. What a great responsibility! Thank you again. May God Bless your ministry greatly. In Him, Chuck Lynn, Board President

This was all so new, yet linked to some of my experience, so I really like it — Seminar Participant

Understanding the financial numbers in laymen’s terms, was instrumental to me in understanding how the school operates. — Board Member

1) It was helpful when Dan reviewed survey results and wasn’t timid when telling us where we are weak. He was truthful in telling us we are only better than 25% of other schools. 2) I appreciated the spiritual emphasis and his focus on letting the Holy Spirit lead us even if it’s not the “conventional” wisdom. -- Seminar Participant

The most helpful part was learning how to think about finances and marketing in a different, new, and refreshing way. There wasn’t one thing that was not helpful to me. I believe that all Lutheran Schools who have not had the opportunity to hear about these programs should! The way Dan presents the material makes sense! Janna Kietzman

The most helpful part was understanding where we are – how we got here – and how to crawl out of our hole in a Christian, mission-minded way. -- Seminar Participant.

Dan was warm and real ... and very patient.  We'll need a follow-up in a year! Seminar Participant

Important and excellent info.  A necessity in today's world.  Seminar Participant

The most helpful parts of the seminar were the practical ideas and the discussion.  Dan is rich with knowledge ... and wisdom.  Pastor Scott Mews, Seminar Participant

The wealth of experience and research which Dan draws on, especially as it translates into practical suggestions, is outstanding.  Seminar participant

Dan Krause came to our school last summer and provided us with training that revolutionized our thinking regarding finances, retention, literature, website, and much more. We have begun using his methods in several areas including the recruitment of new students. In the past we sent out packets with enough information to help parents decide NOT to enroll at our school.

Now parents are so eager to enroll that we have waiting lists for the first time ever in our preschool. We have growth at our school this year when many other schools have declined in enrollment. We often make reference to our training with GraceWorks and use it as a standard even in the area of developing strong relationships! We trust his experience and know his heart for and understanding of Christian education guides the principles he employs. We have never regretted the investment we made in GraceWorks' training.   Jane Helleckson, Principal and Preschool Director, Riverside Christian School, East Grand Forks, MN
