What Our Clients Have To Say About Profit With Effective Listening

We are proud of the work we do and we take pride in the quality products and services we offer. However, rather than us telling you what a great job we do and the great reputation we enjoy, we would rather let some of our clients tell you instead. The following sample of testimonials are taken from our substantial client appreciation portfolio spanning more than thirteen years of delighting groups of all sizes and types

Karen Mason-Redfern

Director of Education

National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds

(ARVC)

Dear Scott,

"You did it again! Your seminars and this year's keynote address continue to "WOW" our members and help to add depth to our national convention.

Keynote speakers are continually offering their services and peddling their canned messages, but it is rare to find one who personally tailors the message to the audience in the way that you do. Your individual research interviews with membership in our industry provided you with information and concerns that were readily addressed in your presentations, making it that much more pertinent."

As with past years, your breakout workshop seminars were among the convention attendee's favorite as you involve the audience in active participation, which we all know helps to make the message stick. The techniques you impart and tips you share have real-life, day-to-day applications that are what attendees are searching for from the seminars they attend.

The tailoring and personalisation of your materials, and your willingness to work with our industry to create timely messages that answer our current needs, is what will keep us coming back to you for future conventions as well.

We look forward to working with you again next year!

Sincerely,

Karen Mason

Director of Education

Coordinator of Dealer Training

S.P. Richards Co.

Dear Scott,

"Once again, thank you for your considerable contribution to our Advantage Business Conference in Las Vegas last month. The Listening Skills program you developed for us was right on the mark. Participant feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Not only did the attendees take away actionable skills, but they also had an enjoyable time learning! That's a combination that adds up to a satisfied audience.

One member of our management team speculated that your program would be the ideal opening event for any educational program we might provide in the future as it would prepare each participant to listen effectively and get the most out of any program. I would like to explore the possibility of using your exceptional talents to inform and educate more of our customers at future events."

Best Regards,

Sandra Williams

Coordinator of Dealer Training.

Dear Mr. Goodkin,

"Once again, I would like to thank you for your very successful presentations at our Sylmar, California and Sunnyvale, California locations earlier this year. As you know, our monthly staff development Lyceum program is currently concluding its fourth year, and we enjoyed a wide variety of national top-notch presenters with the gamut of topics. I am pleased to announce that your previous Lyceum workshop, "Prosper with Effective Listening" two years ago and your most recent Lyceum program, last month rank at the top of staff evaluations. It's clear that your programs are a hit with our staff.

As the administrator of this valuable program, it is always a challenge to find speakers that are interesting, good presenters, and have a message that will benefit our staff. Your programs easily fit all three.

On a pragmatic note, I wanted to applaud you on your professional approach to your business. Diana, my assistant in charge of the Lyceum logistics, has commented on several occasions regarding your impressive responsiveness and accuracy that you offered us in preparing for the events. It's a pleasure to work with such a professional company such as yours."

Sincerely,

Mark Kroll

Association Manager

Louisiana Campground Owners

Association

Dear Scott,

"On behalf of the Louisiana Campground Owners Association, please accept our sincere appreciation for your participation in our recent LCOA Convention at Yogi Bears Jellystone Park in Robert, Louisiana. We feel fortunate that we were able to offer our members the opportunity to hear such a fantastic program!

I knew when I first heard you at ARVC, our members were going to be so impressed that we were able to secure a national speaker to come to our 1st Annual convention. Our only problem now is that we have to find a way to top this next year!

I had such positive feedback from everyone that attended your sessions. What's really impressive is several weeks later I can still recall those same things on the list you taught us! I have already put your techniques to use in real life situations and they work great!

As we talked about, I am working towards having you speak at the State's Travel and Tourism Summit next January. I think you would energise and amaze the crowd with your presentations, as you did last week at our convention."

Sincerely,

Sharon Murphy

Business Products Credit

Association

Scott,

"It's not often we get as many positive responses to a presentation as we did from the attendees at our 74th Annual Credit Conference in Albuquerque, NM in reference to your presentation on Profiting with Effective Listening. Your high-energy presentation is one everyone can benefit from - in their work world and their personal life.

Your presentation is not "the same old story" or boring as many speakers can be. You had the attendees involved in your presentation, and that has a definite impact on remembering what you say.

The feedback from attendees was so great that we plan to have you - if you will - make another presentation at a future conference."

Very Truly Yours,

C D Schmucker

Steven Urhammer

Executive Director

Nutrition & Child Development, Inc.

Scott,

"I want to sincerely thank you for your presentation at our agency's statewide child care conference.

Your presentation set the stage for the rest of the conference. As providers left your opening session, our staff heard several participants commenting that your presentation had increased their self-esteem and left them knowing they were "in control." Several of the participants indicated they wished they could have you around whenever they were having a bad day.

Your "Profit With Effective Listening" skills workshop was commended by all of the participants. Instead of a technical lecture, they appreciated your "hands on" learning approach which they could easily relate to. Several of those that attended had no idea they were raising barriers in their communication with their clients and the children they cared for. Thanks to your presentation these providers were able to identify and understand their own communication barriers, and improve their child care businesses by using your listening techniques.

One provider summed it up best on her conference evaluation when she wrote, "It was nice to learn from someone who practices what they preach.""

Thank You Scott,

Steven Urhammer

Linda Williams

Director

Region VII, Health & Welfare

Dear Scott,

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed and appreciated your participation in our annual Employee Appreciation Day. Your willingness to tailor your presentation to our needs was just the beginning. You really got into the spirit of our Space Odyessey theme! Your Starfleet Commander costume was perfect and really set the right mood for our training. Your work to personalise the keynote address to the point of learning Klingon was really beyond anything we had expected.

The staff enjoyed your presentation and several mentioned to me that they would be interested in seeing more of your seminars on Effective Listening and the addition of the memory skills.

Sincerely,

Linda Williams

Dear Mr. Goodkin,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your very entertaining and informative Profit With Effective Listening workshop that you conducted for our staff last week. I appreciated the time that you spent preparing for the program, including the management meeting that you requested and led to learn about our operation and mission.

I was very pleased with the Profit With Effective Listening program as it made me reconsider the act of listening and what it takes to improve this essential business/ personal skill.

Overall your program was a great success and brought our staff some holiday cheer. I would recommend Mr. Goodkin and his Profit With Effective Listening Skills workshop to any company, organisation, or association that wants an outstanding, enthusiastic and enjoyable presentation."

Sincerely,

Mary Mather

Health Promotion Director
