Testimonials

As one of the organizers of these events, I was approached by numerous busninessmen and Executives immediately after your presentation and later by phone. The all expressed their enthusiasm for the INSTANT RAPPORT and the positive atmosphere you created with all three audiences. They felt as if they had known you for years, and that despite the fact that some of them relied on simultaneous translation to receive your message. But even if they missed a small verbal detail, they all got your stirring and motivational messages through your vibrant body language which communicated a spirit of refreshing optimism and high expectations. Because you reviewed and summarized key points at the right intervals, participants left the lecture hall not only inspired and motivated, but also armed with specific ideas as to what they needed to do next when back at work.

Dear Barbara,
I was given a copy of this book at Pella Corporation sales training. It knocked my socks off. I have been in sales for about 10 years. I have read many books on service and the like and been to plenty of sales seminars. None of which have touched me nearly as much as this little book. Not much unlike Wally the cab driver, it hit me right between the eyes. The first thing I did was put a little sign right on my laptop (which I use daily on calls) that says “Are You Going To Be A Johnny Today.” This little book changed my outlook. Thank You!!!


- Dave Held
