Client reviews
Trusted when the decisions matter.
“To say Jay is just as incredible of a business mentor and coach as he is an overall human being would be an understatement. He doesn’t only talk about what he does, he walks his path just the same.”
“Jay is incredibly knowledgeable and so professional! He provides genuinely beneficial suggestions and feedback to help you make your business successful. Highly recommended!”
“Jay is listening. This man is incredible and his positive attitude is hard to deny and it is infectious. He has and shares the skills to make you and your company the best it can be.”
“I cannot say enough about my time with Jay Scherr! He’s a great man and an incredible coach. The quality of my life has improved significantly since he’s taken me on as a client!”
“He is first a great person and an expert in his field. He is a pillar of our community and has helped many business owners who have used his services.”
“I originally reviewed Jay after hearing him speak, and now after twelve weeks of coaching, I can speak to the impact firsthand. I went in expecting him to point out everything wrong, but instead, he guided me to identify what my salon needed and make confident decisions. There was real homework and reflection, but doing that work changed my mindset. His guidance and a book he recommended helped me communicate better with my staff and motivate them. Becoming more intentional with my time let me network more, and we've seen a significant increase in business. By the final week, I could travel to Portugal for 10 days without worrying, because the systems were in place. Jay is exceptional to work with and available when I've needed him. I feel like a much better business owner and boss, and my employees notice it too. I'm truly grateful and highly recommend him.”
