"This is a belated Thanksgiving expression of gratitude to all of the people who have contributed to the success of How To Calm Down, the little book that could. As of mid-2005 the book has been out for 18 months and has sold nearly 10,000 copies.

It is now in it's second printing from Warner Books. Also, four foreign language versions. So -- Thank You !!!"

"I have sent, I think, all together 6 messages out.
4 reporters called back to interview. 2 are confirmed for stories.

Quite a high response."

"I just wanted to let you know...I've been a part of PR LEADS for 15/16 days... and I've already been quoted in a newspaper; will be quoted in a magazine soon; and will be interviewed for another magazine in a week-and-a-half.... I'm enjoying this quite a bit...so thank you so much for this service!"

"Just got interviewed by WALL STREET JOURNAL."

"I want to pass on to you how successful your service has been for my promotion.

I generally respond to 2 or 3 leads daily and am receiving about a 50% response rate. Yesterday I responded to 3 and got all 3 of them! Thank you so much for this incredible marketing"

"As a PR Leads client – I can directly attribute more than $15,000 in direct income (more from continuing relationships) within the first few months of getting favorable press in the local paper. I use the reprints from both local and national publications in my marketing, and send them to current clients to reinforce their confidence with my credentials, and include them as handouts at my seminars.

As a result of the positive power of the press, I believe my clients refer me at a greater rate. PR Leads is a great investment. Dan is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend Dan Janal’s Services very highly"

"I was quoted in the Chicago Tribune from your PR LEADS. This helps establish my credibility, so your service is great."

"I was checking my email late last night when I saw a request for details on some natural herbal remedies. I fired off the details and listed two time slots where I was open today. She not only is going to use me in the piece, but she also writes a weekly health column and can use some on-going reference who is "johnny quick." S0000...I am pleased about that. I heard back from someone else too, so considering that I have only dealt with a half dozen of these, I am encouraged.

Thanks again for your help."

"I wanted to let you know that I was cited in a column in Sunday's New York Times as the result of my follow-up on a PRLeads query. This is the tenth article that has cited either me or my book since I signed up for PRLeads in June."

"This is such a fabulous service - I'm having a blast!!. Thank you so very much for offering this kind of thing. I've recommended to a friend of mine, hopefully she'll be calling you soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers!"

"Your PR Leads is the very best method of gaining media notice! I'm thoroughly enjoying the service, and have been quoted so many times in the last year that I truly can't keep track of all the articles anymore."

"I've been signed on with PR LEADS for nearly a year now and the results have been very good. It costs $99 a month, and is well worth the cost in order to get one's platform or message to the masses. If you'll "Google" me - "Polly Franks" - you'll see what I mean.

About 75 percent of the interviews I've given this year have come from PR Leads - including an interview on ABC World News Tonight. This is an excellent vehicle for "getting the word out" about your business, what you do, whatever worthy cause you believe in."

"Just got a regular column on a site with a million plus visitors per year … thanks to your service. Thanks for all you do, Dan!"

"Latest success story - I'll be quoted in an article on CareerBuilder.com on 'The Perfect Handshake'. Kate Lorenz, the Marketing Communications Manager, will let me know when it goes live. Thanks again for a terrific service - I really feel I'm getting my money's worth! I didn't get this much PR when I was PAYING $100 / hour for the help!"

"I got interviewed today for USA TODAY. Is that a home run or what? I'm over the moon. You and your co. are just unbelievable. I've stopped counting how many pieces of press I've already snagged, and it's only 2 weeks tomorrow! Thanks, Dan!!!!"

"Dan, I'm not going to say anything...just look at the interviews I've done since I signed up...USA Today, Sales & Marketing, Chicago Tribune, Entrepreneur, Christian Science Monitor, My Business, Detroit News, Overtime, Associated Press, New York Times, and Dr. Phil."

"Your service is the greatest thing I've found. If I'd known about it years ago, my life would have been much easier. I'm really getting it down to a science, now. If any of your other subscribers need tips on how I do it, let me know."

"Got back to work and had a message from a writer for Dartnell. We'd connected through PR LEADS this summer, and now she's calling me for a second story! PR Leads has been great for me. It was the best $500 I ever spent for marketing!"

"Have a nice Thanksgiving. I am thankful for a lot of good things in my life. I include you in those things. Thanks for your great service. It has made a world of difference in my business. $$$$$$ :)"

"Thought I'd share with you a nice benefit of PR Leads. One of the reporters who is a freelancer has apparently liked me as a resource and now contacts me directly from time to time. The most recent was an article he's doing on CEOs of the future for American Way magazine...an ideal publication for me. Well, he called this past week to clarify one point and said I will definitely be used in the article.

So, here's an example of not even having to compete with others to write in...he's just determined from my past responses from PR Leads that I'm a reliable, viable source and so he now comes to me direct. That would never happen if it weren't for PR leads to begin with. Thanks. Look forward to seeing you in Phoenix."

"PR LEADS has been a valuable tool in my overall PR arsenal, getting me numerous press quotes, articles and (most importantly) business. I am about to go into my third year with this program and it has paid off handsomely. By the way, I used to own a PR firm, so I'm a fair judge of what works and what doesn't."

Some credits (that I can trace to PR LEADS and not another of my strategies) include: Microsoft BCentral, Sales & Marketing Management Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, bankrate.com, Tech Republic, numerous American City Business Journals, Registered Rep, Associated Press, RestaurantEdge.com, the Boston Globe, Cleaner Times and in one of SHRM's publications."

"I have been working the PR LEADS diligently, have had numerous "bites" and three solid successes! First for Women is covering me with photos in a hair color article...I used the angle, changing the color of my hair gave me the courage to leave a bad marriage and launch Spoga! The other was Women's World, Prayer and Depression article...Spoga is constant mini-meditations or prayers...sending a photographer from Tampa to take the shots. And, the Editor of Family Circle responded to my query response saying..."I'd love to see the DVD's!" I have talked to three additional writers but don't know if my info made it into their articles! I think three solid responses in less than 6 weeks is pretty darn good!

Thanks for your support."

"Thank you again for the wonderful work you do by providing PR LEADS. Today was such a terrific experience when I realized I was quoted on the front page of USA Today. What an incredible opportunity for national exposure! I'll also be keeping my eyes out for the January edition of Entrepreneur Magazine where I will be quoted for the third time but, in addition, they're including my photo as part of the article. Thank you again! My stack of quotes grows and grows each month!"

"Thanks- your service Rocks!"

"I am starting to get phone calls from people who had previously interviewed me, thanks to your service."

"Being quoted is just plain fun! Thanks!"

"I was interviewed today by Good Housekeeping on getting complaints resolved. Thank you, thank you and thank you. PR Leads has really helped."

"Thanks again for your fabulous service. I'm kicking myself for having waited so long!"

"The Chronicle of Philanthropy has contacted me for a second time for their HR/workplace column. Since they liked what I did the first time, one of the writers is just forwarding me HR questions to assist her with on a regular basis!"

"Just a note to add my plaudits to your wonderful service. In less than a week I have already been interviewed for two articles with several more in the hopper. I recommend your program to everyone looking to create a higher profile."

"This is the most amazingly simple and productive way to get PR. It took me only one minute to respond. A major target market editor immediately emailed me. She said she is so thrilled to have found me! It's not just the first hit that counts. It's the relationship--and this direct approach encourages that."

"Your service is better than I ever could have imagined. On my first lead, I got a great interview with a key business magazine focused on my target market. Because of your instructions in how to structure my pitch, the reporter was very attuned to what I had to tell him and seemed to go out of his way to get me to describe my target market and a way they could get in touch with me. I've been a reporter, editor, press release writer and self-promoter (serially, not all at once) for more than three decades and I've never had such a good interview before. You've got a winner with PR Leads!"

"I saved thousand of dollars by using PR LEADS! And I made my money back the first day when the Wall Street Journal interviewed me. Imagine not wasting time writing press releases or spending a fortune on a PR firm. You've imagined PR Leads. It’s a dream come true for speakers and authors who need publicity to sell more books and speeches!"

"Need publicity? I tested this new service and was talking to a reporter from Business Week magazine the next day!"

"Dan Janal has the PR skills that will benefit any dedicated professional. He takes a personal interest in each client, and you can tell his interest is genuine. He truly customizes--directing his clients to the sources where their information will be most appropriate. Dan provides simple, effective guidelines for approaching media representatives. Plus, he publishes an E-zine newsletter packed with valuable tips. I found Dan when a highly reputable media service recommended him. Now I know why their endorsement was so enthusiastic. Mine surely is!"

"PR LEADS has exceeded my expectations. I've already had three interviews in three weeks, and not a day passes without a valid lead in my inbox. Dan has done an outstanding job of learning exactly what I do and how I work and has pinpointed the perfect media opportunities for me. He sends brief notes to help me refine my responses to writers, and follows up on my contacts. I highly recommend PR LEADS for any author looking for those important media quotes."

"I've gotta tell you that I've found a great resource for publicity. No kidding, PR LEADS is a great service that I use and have had incredible results with. What kind of results you ask

Well, since I signed up three months ago, I've gotten about 50 requests from reporters for interviews on my topic -- and I was actually interviewed by 42 of them. That's 80% hit rate -- great shootin'. No other service has even come close. One of the reasons why it works so well is that the owner is a seasoned PR pro who personally receives the requests and shoots an e-mail to you right away. You respond directly to the reporter and in a heartbeat, you've made a connection.

These are high-quality leads, too. Along with the occasional freelancer, I've been interviewed by Newsweek, Business Week, BrandChannel.com, Fortune Small Business and so on. One more thing: You should know that I paid full price for this. No trade. No barter. That's how good I think it is.

"Dan is a PR marketing genius! He created a way to get great PR for "almost free" and even made the process of getting articles published extremely easy. I received a great interview that fit my expertise to a "T" the very first day. I'm hooked!"

"I have been amazed at the number of people who need the information I offer! It's been a great self-esteem builder."

"PR LEADS worked for me right away. I had an interview the day after I signed up. A great way to get free PR!"

"The leads from reporters are highly targeted and state exactly what the reporter is looking for. I'm a subscriber and I've already been interviewed by the BBC for a profile they are doing on Oprah. Since I wrote "The Ultimate Guide to Getting Booked on Oprah" that was an exact match for me. You can be as specific as you like to insure you'll only get the responses you're looking for. It's different than other "PR wire services" in that it's highly personalized. Dan really spends the time to interview each subscriber for their key search words and publicity goals, teaches them how to respond, and coaches them along the way if they need it. I think you'll get less off-base (it's impossible to eliminate them all, as we know) responses that way. Also, you will be on the receiving end as the subscribers respond to you (the reporter) in the manner that you specify. (Phone, email etc.). I have found it to be a godsend."

"I really couldn't make so much progress if it weren't for your empowering and energizing service."

"Hi Dan! I love your service! In 9 days I sent out 11 responses to your leads & got 2 interviews so far!"

"I've been interviewed three times now, once for the Dallas Observer, once for Entrepreneur, and once for Business Week. I know the Entrepreneur article is going into the June issue. But that's really pretty good for a month and a half! This thing works!"
