About The Essential Message
(and about how we can help you…)
The Essential Message is a proven approach that helps you discover your true differentiation and communicate it in the absolute, most compelling way.
Not only does it help you turn more people into prospects, and more prospects into sales, it also gives you the confidence, motivation and resilience that can only come from being absolutely clear about your strengths and unique difference — both as a company and as an individual.
It was created by Michel Neray based on 25 years as an award-winning copywriter, an entrepreneur, and a senior sales and marketing executive.
Thousands of entrepreneurs, consultants, advisors, salespeople, and growing businesses have used The Essential Message to get the clarity they need and the business they want.
You can too.

What I had after 15 minutes with you was a solid directional focus to take my business to the next level. Wow! Thanks Michel!" Pierrette Raymond Owner/Operator 1-800-GOTJUNK |

I’ve already done a new flyer for new clients based on what I learned from you. Thanks... to say the least! In fact, I had my two business associates in for a brainstorm and we all listened to your CD together, with extraordinary results. My marketing messages have been transformed in the space of three hours!" Chris Roycroft-Davis Managing Director CAN-DO Communications |

Not only did Michel help me gain clarity, he’s also given me a competitive advantage!" Hellen Buttigieg Certified Professional Organizer®, Life Coach, TV Host We Organize U |
