"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sonia for our HoneyBook automations and profile optimization, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, Sonia's soft-spoken demeanor made our interactions pleasant and comfortable. She was not only willing to provide valuable insights into our business operations but also offered personal feedback that truly resonated with us. Sonia went above and beyond the scope of the package we purchased, taking the time to ensure we had a solid foundation for our photo booth business within HoneyBook. Her expertise and dedication made a significant difference, and we feel much more confident in our setup now. I highly recommend Sonia to anyone looking to enhance their HoneyBook experience. Her professionalism, combined with her thoughtful approach, truly sets her apart."

"Sonia was super friendly, knowledgeable, she had great attention to detail and explained the process perfectly. I needed a form for potential customers to order custom items from me and create projects accordingly so I could track everything. Sonia set it up so that it worked perfectly for my particular situation. I am very happy with the service and communication."

"Sonia KILLED it! I already enjoyed using HoneyBook for my clients and she completely opened up my eyes to all the things I could do and more. And the best part? She executed efficiently on them. She has so much compassion for her clients and such clean and clear processes that working with her was a breeze. We even moved my podcast flow to the platform, and I didn't even know that was possible! Highly recommend her!"

"Sonia helped me create a customer journey, helping me understand what my vision looked like integrated in the program. She was able to adjust as I changed my mind. And she kept us on track when I slacked off which I appreciate. I enjoyed working with Sonia on this project and really grateful for her help."

"I hired Sonia immediately after the interview. I felt a sense of calm, I knew she would take care of me and deliver everything she promised. I loved the helpful videos walking me through the files and videos to answer my questions. She went above and beyond to help me create all my smart files from all the content I provided her with all with little direction from me. She went above and beyond what I expected."

How do I decide which Pro is best for me?

Take a look through their website and read up on their specialties and offerings to see what matches your plan and personality. Rest assured, all of our Pros are HoneyBook experts, no matter who you choose, you’re in good hands.

What does a Pro do?

Pros have a comprehensive knowledge of all things HoneyBook. They can help with anything you need, including creating templates, emails, brochures, contracts, proposals, questionnaires, and contact forms as well as workflow design and analysis, account set up and even custom branding.

How much do Pros cost?

Each Pro determines their own pricing depending on their offering and the services you need. HoneyBook Pros are independent business owners, just like you! While we recommend them as experts, HoneyBook does not set prices or service requirements. That’s between you and your Pro.

Are Pros the only people offering help with HoneyBook?

There are a number of businesses offering similar services. Those listed here are just a handful we know of. If you don’t find a fit with one of these Pros, take a look in the HoneyBook Facebook Community where you can make connections with others or post your questions to the HoneyBook community. And as always, the HoneyBook Support team is here for you at concierge@honeybook.com.

What's the difference between a HoneyBook Pro and a HoneyBook Educator?

A HoneyBook Pro offers specific services that map out your business processes and optimizes them using HoneyBook. HoneyBook Educators provide education in a variety of topics (marketing, how to communicate with clients, best practices, etc.) that help small business owners grow.
