"This Crescendo Seminar showed me how valuable the combination of expert instruction and a feature-laden software package can be. The benefits of the class are immediate. During the session I found myself scribbling notes and reminders to call my clients with news that would have a direct benefit to them."

"What a wonderful seminar! It seems evident that excellence is what you do and how you do it is your goal. It is a "feather in my hat" to have been a privileged student under your tutoring. I continue to be amazed at what has gone into the creation of the Crescendo programs and what a benefit they are to all of us in the gift planning world. Crescendo and its services (and its quality people) are one of the great values of our times."
