Marie Martin Ph.D., Director Global Education and Services, Fox Valley Technical College
“We worked with John Duque to develop the agent network for the college. John was very helpful! He provided feedback on our existing practices, introduced best practices and connected us with many agents. After that, we have been able to stay in contact with the agents and understand our own market better. Agent maintenance process and relationship building takes time and requires frequent contact. The most important finding for us was that we should select agents based on our own college and its market. Not all agents are good for all educational institutions! Even though our contract is completed, John has been in touch and continued to introduce us to new agents that are suitable for our college.” – May 15, 2019

Christa Knudsen, Director of International Programs, Marshall School
“I have known John Duque for over 6 years. Marshall first brought him on as a consultant to advise us on how to diversify our international program and best work with agents. John’s knowledge of the market is outstanding, and he knows agents. At that time, his work with us helped us understand the institutional investment and commitment required to build a sustainable program over time. He has remained a champion of our school, promoting and mentioning us long after our contract with AMS expired. In addition to his wisdom and direction for the long run, he was directly responsible for several new agent contracts signed, and new enrollment to our program. I recommend John and his company without reservation.” April 1, 2019
