Doris Meissner, Commissioner U.S. Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Services "Your presentation was well organized, and right on target for your audience. In addition, the visuals you used were very effective-adding to the impact of your message. I hate to tell you this as you will raise your rates, but we received more positive feedback about your message than for a previous speaker we hired whose fee was twice as much. Your ideas and insight clearly challenged our dealers to take a fresh look at their approach to business. Sam, thanks for being thorough with your research, professional in your work, and cooperative in spirit. I'd welcome the chance to work with you again. You made me look good." Mark Allen, 1999 National Convention Manager ORECK Sales, LLC "We are still receiving glowing comments on the educational program. This year's was one of our best ever, thanks to your presentation, Why Should Someone Do Business With You... Rather Than Someone Else?" Cindy R. Nachman, Senior Director, Meetings & Conventions National Food Processors Association "The response for the over 400 attendees was overwhelming, your message hit home. People really appreciated your "fireside style," your use of visuals and your wealth of real world stories to cement key points. The fact that you gave your personal attention to my business and understanding my reason for having you speak prior to the session was also noticed. Your intimate knowledge of our business was appreciated by all." "Your ratings (out of five) were Knowledge of Subject: 4.64, Presentation of Organization: 4.6, and Ability to Hold Your Attention: 4.84. Many of our highest level people were energized by your style and message and I can assure you that that is not always the case. Your professionalism and polished presentation technique were a joy to behold and I'm grateful to you for making me look so good." Ann M. Diven, Convention and Awards Director American Resort Development Association "Your presentation was enthusiastically received by the audience... and your preparation was superb!" Kim M. Struble, CMP Director, Meetings & Expositions American Logistics Association "Your presentation was extremely high energy and you challenged our group to think about our approach to retaining our customers and attracting new customers to our business. The formal survey feedback from our group was tremendous with 100% rating your presentation in the excellent to good categories and 0% rating in the fair or poor categories." Donna Lue-Atkinson, Marketing Manager, Consumer Services Group Amex Bank of Canada "Thank you for your outstanding contribution to our program. I can't tell you how many dealers told me that they wished that there had been more time to work with you 'One on one'. Your theme 'Why Should Someone Do Business With You... Rather Than Someone Else? really fit in nicely with the recent dealer business building programs we created. This whole subject area really 'rang a bell' with both our fabricators and dealers." Jim Mathews, Vice President - Corporate Marketing Hunter Douglas Inc. "Your presentation on ' Pay Bills With dollars... Not Percentages' was packed with great information and was delivered with so much enthusiasm. Comments we received included 'Speaker was entertaining and clear. Good points about refocusing ROI vs. paper profits and inventory management. Outstanding! Hit the nail on the head' and 'Very well presented and easily understood'." Phyllis Endrich, Vice President National Shoe Retailers Association "Your well-thought, well-planned and provocative program was just what we needed to help us 'change steep' and undertake this period of major changes we are going through. It is only five weeks since you spoke to us and already I am beginning to see a new 'customer oriented' mentality emerge. This certainly is a 'must' program for any firm wanting to change its employees' attitudes." Jean-Claude Cloutier, President Insurance Crime Prevention Bureau "Your messages relating to 'change' and 'customer value' were very appropriate at a time when customer expectations are ever increasing. The audience enjoyed both the content and the way in which the message was delivered. Their expectations were high, especially give our convention theme of 'Great Expectations'. You delivered and set the pace for what was an exciting and successful day of learning, for all those attending. The final touch reminding the audience that the 'three feet' between the customer and their representative was the key to future transactions was enhanced with you 'ruler'. John Eccleston, MQM Training Manager McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited "Our audience was very impressed with your presentation 'Why Change? and found it both interesting and informative." Allan N. Ebedes, President International Business Schools Inc. "WOW!!! Your presentation far exceeded our expectations. Your message was on target with the objectives of our meeting. It is obvious you had done your homework on our industry and our company. The fact that you were visiting our store sites at 10 PM the night before, shows how seriously you take your preparation. The extra touch added a great deal of credibility to your presentation. Our group of over 650 management leaders certainly noticed it, which allowed your message to strike home more easily. You not only gave us ideas but you actually 'ignited' the group to action. No better testament can be said. We are already looking forward to a return visit." Rose Kleyweg Mitchell Vice President, Education & Governmental Affairs Hy-Vee, Inc. "The two 90-minute breakout sessions you gave, Shaping Your Success Through Sales, brought your general-session keynote to an even greater detail and reinforced other information your presented. Participants rated you an average of 4.90 out of 5.00." Gail R. Jennings, Director of Education Carstar "Our Dealers are a tough group, so I thought I'd share this testimonial with you... One of our top Dealers reported that he was feeling a little groggy from prior evening's activities on the morning of your presentation. At the start, he was saying to himself 'I don't need to be here.' But he stayed, listened and, 10 minutes into your program, he started taking notes. He later thanked us for sponsoring the program and credited you for several ideas he plans to incorporate into his own business."
