Here's What Event Planners Are Saying About Bob...
Kelly Larson, Director of
Education, Great Lakes Ice Cream and Fast Food Association
"Bob Negen
made me look like a HERO. As chairperson of the education committee I
was concerned that we find a speaker who would be relevant, exciting and,
most importantly, practical. Boy, did Bob deliver! Every single comment
about Bob was incredibly positive. People were excited that they were
able to take what they learned and apply it to their business right away.
They all wanted more…"
Carrie Giannokos, Executive
Director, National Appliance Service Association
"Captivating
keynote speakers are hard to find. Even harder to find is a keynote speaker
who can present a 2 hour workshop the day after his keynote presentation
which builds so effectively on the groundwork laid the day before. But
that is exactly what Bob Negen did at this year’s NASA convention.
And Bob is one reason this convention will go down in the books as a “smashing
success”."
Michelle Gaston, Director
of Professional Development, Ohio Floral Association
“The two
sessions that you presented at the 2003 OFA Short Course were a bit hit!
Of the over 25 sessions presented this year by our industry’s top
trainers, your workshops were rated #2 and #4 by the attendees. Comments
included: ‘This session alone should increase sales enough
to pay for the entire trip.’ and ‘Awesome session.
I left inspired!’ We look forward to working with you again.”
Angela Neeble, Executive
Director, Sault Area Chamber of Commerce
"Feed back
from the seminars has been excellent. Participants tell us that they found
your style to be accessible and fun, making it a great learning experience.
From the planning perspective, we appreciated your suggestions and your
flexibility - particularly when the higher-than-anticipated attendance
precipitated a need for a third seminar. Your professionalism and expertise
certainly made our job much easier."
Cherie Reagor, The Gift Basket
Connection
“Bob has
the wonderful gift of being able to give his audiences a swift kick in
the pants while at the same time lifting them up, giving them hope, and
showing them exactly what to do to be successful. His enthusiasm is contagious,
he’s accessible to the audience, and my group loves him…
in short, he’s wonderful!”
Kim Gallagher, Director,
St. Joseph Today
"The day
of the workshop, I walked into several businesses that attended, and guest
books were already out on the counters collecting names. Business owners
are talking to one another about what they took away from this workshop
and that is powerful! Now the attitude is, "I do have control of
my business success" instead of, "Bring me more people and I
might be able to make it." Thank you for your wisdom, humor, and
ability to cultivate positive change."
George Aker, Heritage Clubs
International
"Many thanks
for your fine presentation to our assembled club directors. So many great
comments were volunteered to the Advisory Board about your performance.
Most importantly, the club directors came away energized for the coming
year with specific things they need to develop. It is always fun when
the happy buzz tells us that you caught their attention and that they
are capitalizing on it for the good of their banks!"
Candace Bales, Executive
Director, Downtown Bay City
"Thank you
so much, Bob, for sharing your new “Explode Your Sales” workshop
with our merchants. The enthusiasm you created is still being felt by
all. In fact, since your visit a group of merchants have stepped up and
started a special program to encourage more businesses to be open on Sundays.
The response so far has been excellent, and the conversations this program
has generated are even better. I’m seeing the downtown start to
work together as a team... It’s fun to watch!
We look forward to having you back for more marketing advice and dynamic
discussion. Thanks again!"
