    David Smith: Testimonials / Client List

    CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

    • "Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your presentation, 'Profit and Peril in the Third Millennium.' Our audience of electric utility senior executives was particularly interested in your observations from a historical perspective, taking them through the megacycles of the human enterprise and the history of the U.S. stock market. Your predictions for the next turn of events in the market were 'eye-openers,' and, together with the present market volatility, caused significant discussion for several days. We particularly appreciated your efforts to customize the presentation to fit the interests of our members. By doing so, your message was effective in driving home your points."

      -- Len Holland, Manager-AEIC Services, Association of Edison Illuminating Companies, Inc.

    • "Mr. Smith has spoken for us several times, and he always brings his best game, never disappoints. He's a great educator as well as speaker whereby everyone walks away saying how much they learned while no one walks away wondering what he was trying to say. His two-hour presentation was very well received by all attendees as evidenced by the following comments taken from the speaker evaluation (on which he received 4.9 out of a possible 5 rating):
      Fascinating topic and speaker; great flow and preparedness
      Excellent use of overhead material to support and further demonstrate specifics
      Excellent! Clear and precise!
      Annual updates in 4th quarter would be great
      Speaks enthusiastically, keeps your attention
      Excellent. Very useful information

      -- Jo Lynne Hutchinson, Executive Director, The Financial Planning Association, Phoenix

    • "I wish to personally thank you for being a valuable part of the recent AAPL Annual Meeting. Those in attendance were impressed with the quality and timeliness of your presentation. Please accept our sincere gratitude for responding to our speaking request in such an eloquent fashion."

      -- Frank J. Bavendick, CPL, President, American Association of Petroleum Landmen

    • "Your well-researched presentation on NAFTA was right on the mark. I received many positive comments about the presentation from our members. They particularly enjoyed the customized links you created between NAFTA and the corrugated box industry, creating excellent take-home value."

      -- James F. Nolan, Vice President, Fibre Box Association

    • "Those of you who heard David Smith speak last year and kept track of his predictions know that he was 1,000% correct. Of all the speakers we have had over the past three years, Mr. Smith was probably the most well received and requested for a return."

      -- Newsletter, IAFP/Financial Planning Association

    • "Your gift to link current cyclical economic trends to winds buffeting our industry, along with specific short- and long-term tactics to successfully adjust for global factors uniquely met our needs. The results of our evaluation feedback forms in combination with the lively Q&A session following your presentation underscore the delivery of a service to our membership that was timely and valuable. Add NLGI I to a long list of very satisfied clients."

      -- S. Levi Pearson, P.E., President, National Lubricating Grease Institute

    • "Thank you for doing a terrific job and the LINC conference. As you can see from the evaluations, you were the top-rated speaker for the event. The audience enjoyed and found value in your presentation."
