I believe that you have truly inspired our clients to realise their full potential. Many of our clients, sponsors and brokers are calling it the ‘Best Conference Ever’.”
Marketing Manager - VOW Financial
“Better than excellent! – Dave practices what he preaches. There’s no doubt about it. His enthusiasm and comprehensive content motivated both Yokohama Dealers and Staff. Dave’s preparation was amazing. He had 2 meetings with me in the lead-up. He spoke with our dealers in the days prior to his presentations. He checked attended another guest another guest speaker’s presentation on similar content just to make sure his content wouldn’t conflict. He was helpful to my own presentation and future marketing material. He gave 2 presentations that had the whole room interacting and buzzing. Well done Dave.”
C.T. Hansen – Marketing Manager
“You were a huge hit! The audience could just so easily relate to you (a testament to the amount of time and research you put into this group prior to the event, and also just how well you read a room). There was just enough humour to keep them alive and the interaction was great!”
Penny Mitchell – Solterbeck
