Client Success Stories: Business Balance
Melanie Campbell

"Before I worked with Marion Metz, I was feeling overwhelmed by how I was going to move my existing Squarespace website to the new Squarespace platform and re-do all my content at the same time. It all felt too hard so I couldn’t get started on it.
By asking the right questions, Marion helped me see how I could create a simple system to get it done. She also helped me re-gain the confidence that I could actually do it. Marion’s tech background meant she understood the challenges of setting up a new website. It also helped to know that if I couldn’t figure it all out on my own or didn’t want to do it she could do it for me. As it turned out, I was able to do it on my own because, thanks to Marion, I had a simple system to follow. It was even fun doing it. The other thing I loved about working with Marion is she checked in with me after a week to let me know that she was there if I needed her support or tech help. If you’re overwhelmed with trying to do all the things in your business, you need to work with Marion. She helps you find the right systems and processes to free up your time so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy." |

"Marion Metz has recently completed computer layout of our 110 page book 'Bluff Reflections.' We found her computer skills to be extensive including converting file types into book form with professionalism and accuracy. Marion made any changes to format with endless patience and has achieved an end product that surpassed our expectations. Her flair for this type of computer work was greatly appreciated.
This is the second book Marion has assisted us with. The first receiving excellent feedback from readers for its presentation, layout and ease of reading. 'Bluff Reflections' will undoubtedly receive praise in the same vein due to her attention to every detail making this book a sure winner." |

QT Holiday Park Creeksyde |
"As the world’s first holiday park to be environmentally certified, Queenstown Holiday Park Creeksyde is immensely proud of its achievements. In everything we do, we keep our environment in mind, and every year we submit our data regarding a variety of commodity usage to EarthCheck to be benchmarked and certified (alternating years).
This year was particularly challenging because of structural changes due to COVID-19, and we are incredibly lucky to have had Marion from Marion Metz Solutions helping us again this year. Marion was part of our EarthCheck journey some years ago when employed as our administrator. Marion’s focus, her deep love for, and understanding of, the environment helped us gather all the necessary data, record them into our software and then submit to EarthCheck for certification. During the process she unearthed some challenges with the information on record, and through engaged conversations we solved all of them. We plan to continue using Marion’s services as her skill set is valued and needed." |

"I found Marion to be both supportive and caring. She is clear minded and able to sort facts from fiction very quickly. Her way with numbers is magic and she saved me a great deal of angst and exhaustion in a very short time. Thankyou Marion for your help and your very professional way of working."

"It is our pleasure to provide a reference for the fabulous computer skills and professionalism of Ms Marion Metz who carried out the complete typing, scanning of many photographs, layout and proof reading of our 67 page book “Shipwrecks Bluff Area 1845 – 1920”. Marion showed great flair in this work and used initiative where required. She was a diligent worker and meticulously organised in her work ethic.
The book was such a success, it went to a re-print within a month and we received excellent feedback from readers for the book presentation, layout and ease of reading." |

QT Holiday Park Creeksyde |
"We have had the privilege of working with Marion Metz on various projects over several years.
She has been instrumental in helping us create and implement an online reservation system, which not only saved us time but ensured that there were no longer any booking issues that had previously resulted in loss of income due to double and missed bookings. Further to this she did a full testing and copy-edit review of our website. Once again this highlighted issues and helped us to fix missed revenue opportunities and increase bookings. Marion helped train staff and create a staffing manual, which ensured high levels of efficiency and customer services and further aided in the smooth and profitable running of the park. Marion’s eye for detail, her skills in process review and her strong work ethos saved us thousands and further enabled us to create reports and processes needed for government statistics, marketing purposes, and our environmental certification. Marion works methodically, swiftly, and with utmost confidentiality. Her comments and suggestions have resulted in improvements in efficiency and reporting, with the overall results being streamlined processes for going forward. I would highly recommend Marion’s services for a thorough impartial overview to give any business recommendations – or verification – that the business processes are at optimum levels." |
