Absolutely Amazing!!!
I was having some problems finding my customers, but Martin made me realize that I wasn't having problems with that, I was having problems with my thoughts. I won't give away his secret (he gave me a gold nugget), but I will say that his method basically gave me an insight into what Ido that will make customers gravitate towards it because I not only KNOW my "why", I understand it on a whole new level. A million thanks to the man Martin Betz! I'm looking forward to continuing my work with him!!

From Interest to Intent, With Trust
This community helped me see sales and customer understanding through a much more precise lens. The discussions improve how you qualify, how you message, and how you move from interest to intent, while keeping a human and trust-based approach. If you are serious about understanding what your customers truly want and turning that into clearer offers and better decisions, Creating Progress is worth your time.

Worth joining
I joined through a recommendation and I have to say that this community is just fabulous. You get top-notch content, it is very well facilitated and most of all you learn a lot about about your customer, positioning yourself and your offerings and how to sell yourself in a better way to increase your revenue.

A genuinely useful Skool community - not just another promo wall
The skool CLASSIFIEDS has been one of the more useful communities I’ve found for connecting with other Skool owners, discovering what people are building, and having real conversations around their offers and communities. What I appreciate most is that Shannon has created a space where promotion is allowed, but contribution and connection still matter. The recent Bonanza was a great example. I met new people, reviewed several Skool About Pages, shared practical feedback, and had some genuinely interesting conversations along the way. What I especially enjoyed was seeing a few people act on the feedback almost immediately. That’s when you know the conversations aren’t just polite engagement - something useful is actually happening. A few conversations also continued beyond the original posts, which is probably the best sign that real connections were being made. Shannon clearly puts thought and energy into keeping the community active, useful, and human - and it shows. 5 stars from me. Highly recommended for Skool owners who want visibility, connections, and a place where giving value still matters.

A great space to share and grow
It is great to have a space to share what we are growing and so much support from Shannon to do so. I have had people join my group, grab a freebie and join a collaboration from my engagement in this group and the recent 24 Mayhem Event was awesome ☺️

I love Skool Classifieds because it feels like a real family genuinely interested in helping Skool community owners connect with each other to grow and stay in the stretch. None of this would be possible without the effort of Shannon Boyer, the community creator. The networking and visibility opportunities are honest and bountiful. So are the 24 hour Mayhem events! Lots of practice getting visible here. Thanks to Shannon❤
