Testimonials

"The marketing team at SamCart has historically been very small, and our day to day involved scrambling to dump new visitors into our funnel or to put out fires. Unfortunately, this left very little manpower to think about long term nurture campaigns or really increasing our customer understanding and front-end messaging.

As we continued to grow and gain funding, it quickly became clear that we needed resources dedicated to those very initiatives and now had the money to expand our team.

After bringing Power Persuasion on, we noticed a marked increase in the effectiveness of our ad, email, and sales page copy. By really getting into our customer's minds, Power Persuasion was able to write copy that emotionally resonated with our buyers like never before, and their copy led to some of our best performing copy in years."

"Just wanted to message you to let you know I've finally started my path towards becoming a Scrum Master and thank you for being a major inspiration to me. Thank you for all the advice and friendship you gave me over our ~2 years together. I think back on it often. Those 2 years I had with you were my most important years I've had in my young career. "I've been doing all these learning programs and taking test exams for Scrum Master certifications, often drawing back on how you handled many of the tough situations our team had. So it gave me a fortuitous chance to thank you and let you know that what you gave was much more than increasing our team's productivity--but also inspiration!"

“I want to highly recommend Wes if you are in need of great copy and/or sales page! I was doing my own copy around my sales page for a high ticket service product and needed help!! I didn't have a fully blown "sales page" that could explain this complex product as well as why someone should pay me a lot of money to buy this product and that is when I reached out to Wes. As a result of working together, I now have a an amazing sales page that is already converting new customers. Also, when I have worked with copywriters in the past, I've needed to make massive edits as they didn't spend the time to research and actually understand what it was I was selling. With Wes, he did massive research and even though the "copy" was about 20 pages long, I had very few edits. He also was super responsive and timely with the work! I would highly recommend Wes for your work project!”

“Wes is process-oriented and was instrumental in providing the team a baseline for quality expectations and direction for overall performance improvement. He is a strong advocate for Agile methods and a believer in practicing known principles that lead to expected outcomes. That said, Wes was always open to new ideas and adjustments for the benefit of team. He is comfortable working with management and executive stakeholders to meet common goals. Additionally, Wes contributed his talents in crafting presentations and content for business case value and promotion.”

“Wes leads as Scrum Master for an external IAM (Authorization) based application, to which I have the pleasure of serving as Product Owner. Wes has a mastery level of understanding of agile principles and it's application. Attention to quality, exceptional leadership skills, and a builder of relationships with customers is why I depend on Wes day in and day out. An underrated prowess for Wes is his ability to persuade stakeholders through written communication. This skill is an asset to the team as executive style summaries are needed to detail out the objectives and business impact of our production releases. If you are looking for someone who is solution oriented in their thinking and cares about the "TEAM's" success, then Wes is someone who I would strongly recommend.”

"Wesam was brought in as a senior project manager to lead an urgent, short-term project with my team. Right away I could tell he was a pro. Wesam quickly picked up where the outgoing PM had left off, making for a very seamless transition. He is proactive, hard working, and knowledgeable. He is skilled at applying Agile concepts and tools. Perhaps most impressive is Wesam's ability to make the most of my time with the team, keeping conversation and objectives crisp and focused. We often ended sprint cadence meetings early due to his ability to drive us towards outcomes. In the end, we completed the project on-time and under budget. I highly recommend Wesam to any IT team in need of an experienced, energetic and success-driven project manager."

"I have had the privilege of working with Wes over the past 2 years. I lead a team of Identity and Access Management professionals who are responsible for a number of legacy applications. Part of my team has been engaged in developing a Common Access Management solution in support of our direct airline customers. Wes has operated as the scrum master for this development team. The team is comprised of Boeing employees and contract labor located both locally in the U.S. and off shore. In this role, Wes works with many stakeholders to determine strategy and functionality to be completed in our planning increments.

Wes is quite skilled at his trade and is willing to share his knowledge to help my team realize success. About nine months ago another one of my teams initiated a project to design and develop a password reset tool to replace an expensive aging solution. Wes gladly accepted the challenge to assist and mentor this team in using the agile methodologies to begin this effort. The knowledge Wes shared has been quite beneficial for the project team to make substantial progress toward delivery of a solution.

Wes is very professional and a great team player. Wes contributes to my projects success and is more than willing to take on more responsibility. I would gladly work with Wes on future endeavors."

"I learned of Wesam's copywriting work because of our shared professional interests in the "Lean" methodology. In working with Wesam, I appreciate how he used the practices of experimental problem solving to a business challenge I was facing. Wesam worked with me to define the problem related to my email marketing list, and he worked with me in a very collaborative way, writing copy that I used to invite people to remain active on my list. His writing was effective and, again, the process and the approach that he used were much appreciated. Highly recommended"

"RootMetrics had been implementing Scrum/Agile for more than two years. We've found that the processes and ceremonies are sufficient, though we know that there is more to gain.

With Wesam coming onboard as Scrum Master, our teams are starting to see improvements. In the last three months, I appreciate Wesam’s encouragement to solve the root cause instead of the symptoms. Documents like the 4SPS, Standard Work, and Quick & Easy are all tools introduced to identify and document the root cause.

I've moved on from RootMetrics, my short time with Wesam, I would recommend him as an Agile Scrum Master with the qualifications and communications skills to push teams to improve by investing time to solve the root cause when possible."
