Attendee Comments – May ’01 – Portland

“This is far and beyond the very best training seminar I have ever attended. I’ve been attending these types of seminars for over eight years, from high school, extra curricular activities, and other business and career ventures. Michael was the greatest hands-on, real life speaker and entertainer. He has an unreal understanding of what it takes to make people feel good and believe they are the very best, both at work and in life. My many thanks for the greatest, most wonderful seminar available for the money!”
Philip J. Genz, Sales Consultant – MacKenzie Ford

“I enjoyed the workshop very much. Michael was great. I would’ve like to have spent the time before lunch talking about word tracks, objections, questions, and closing. Also, motivation, time management, taking care of ourselves. Basically, everything we talked about after lunch. Instead of behaviors and personalities.”

Myles Nees, Salesman – Courtesy Ford

“Thank you again Michael for a great workshop! (I would like more) examples of emotions, more role playing, more work in the workshop. The exercise of taking the three minutes to list the emotions helps to drive home the need for this exercise. We need to be pushed. Don’t let us skip the role playing. I also realize you were fighting a time frame issue.”
Randy May, Sales (four time graduate) – Dick’s Country Dodge

“I got my dollar’s worth just by what I picked up on the section about neurolinguistic programming! Summing it up in one word … STRONG!”
