(03) — Voices from the field

Clients, team, and industry leaders — in their own words

I have known Jennifer L Bagley and CI Web Group since 2012. Jennifer spoke at our Untyed events for years and what she shared then is still true today, she can predict the future. She is the best in her business and I would refer her to anyone.
Tyler Pierson Sr. Executive (Retired), Administaff · Known since 2012
What you are doing is going to change the world of service for hard-working families. I have seen it firsthand through Stephanie and Kevin, many of my clients - the transformation and confidence is outstanding.

Most people still see AI as a tool. Jennifer sees it as a workforce. That distinction is what separates visionaries from everyone else.

The customer experience doesn't start with the repair or the installation or the finished project. It starts with a conversation.
Michelle Myers Owner, Pink Callers
Read her letter in the book →
Jennifer is one of the true visionaries in this industry — someone who sees what's coming before the rest of us do, and then builds it anyway. That second part is the rare one. Plenty of people can describe the future on a stage. Very few will restructure their own company, bet their reputation, and do the hard building required to actually get there. Jennifer does both, and she has been doing it for twenty years.

I walked in looking for a job. I walked out with a career, a mentor, and a lifelong friend — I just didn't know it yet.
Rose Villarreal Executive Assistant to Jennifer Bagley, CI Web Group
Read her Why in the book →
Working alongside Jennifer changed how I think about leadership. Leaders aren't there to preserve what exists. They're there to challenge assumptions, question what no longer serves the mission, and rebuild even when what's already there is good. Watching her do that — and being pushed to do it myself — rewired the question I ask every day.
Melanie Osio Chief of Staff, CI Web Group
Read her story in the book →
We couldn't fight the current. So we'd build a boat. Stay curious. Insist on resilience. Trash your ego before the world does it for you. And if you're afraid? Do it afraid.

If I'm ever given the choice, I'll take being pushed every single time. That is where the growth is. That is where you win. And that is exactly what I see Jenn preaching to the crowd — pushing her team and pushing business owners to make moves so that they win.
