“Previous broker was selling a dream. You are helping me be successful in my business.” …Donna from Texas

“What a great experience!  All of my questions were patiently and thoughtfully answered.  It was so nice to have both Scott and Marilyn there to provide guidance.  The Bushnell are wonderful caring people, I trust them to direct me down the correct path.  I can’t wait to make my dream a reality.”  …P.F from Virginia

“One of the things I have always appreciated about you most, Peter, is that you do what you say you will do. Thank you so much for the time you spent with us yesterday.  I truly appreciate your effort to get the original report to us as quickly as you did, and this follow-up is beyond perfect.  Words are hard to find that describe our respect and appreciation for you.” …Dave and Heidi

“Wow, your report was illuminating. I want to talk to you about it so I can continue on this learning curve. Thank you for your professional work.” …Lauri from FL

“Rick and Jan, we can’t thank you enough for the help you gave us going into this season. As the numbers I already sent show, we have seen a great increase in bookings. We ended July about 50% up from 2009!! We are now even with last August, and the month is only 9 days in. We know that a lot of factors come into play to make something like this happen, but some of the biggest are the suggestions you made. The amount we paid for your services was worth much more than we could possibly say. We highly and happily recommend The B&B Team to anyone who wants to improve their business. If you ever have a potential client who wishes to speak to a satisfied customer, please have them call us. Talk to you soon.” …Linda and Norm

“Forthrightness/candor instilled trust which is the most valuable thing I leave with.” …Cindi from Texas

“The B&B Team’s seminar was not the first seminar we took to help us make up our minds on the all important decision on whether or not to buy an inn but it was by far the best!  Scott Bushnell was a great instructor and well prepared for an educational weekend jam packed with quality information one needs to know before making this life changing decision. If you only take one class make it The Aspiring Innkeepers Seminar by The B&B Team.” …Pat & Kris from Rhode Island

“Very informative. Took some of the intimidation edge off as far as feeling capable of running a B&B.” …Kathy from Arizona

“Thank you for one of the best seminars I have ever attended! Not only was it professional and informative, it was fun!!! I have never spent so many hours learning something new and enjoyed myself so thoroughly in the process. It was a wonderful touch to be able to see the other inns in the area and really experience the look and feel of each. I can’t imagine anyone taking on such a life changing endeavor without professional guidance and advice. It is very exciting to have a feel for the ‘reality’ behind the dream. I am sure that you have saved us a tremendous amount of time, and we are really looking forward to working with you as we make our dream our reality!” …Mary from New Hampshire
