Reviews of George Whalin

From the moment we identified you as a potential speaker, your organization was professional, responsive, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve our objectives for this meeting. But the icing on the cake was you! To take a group of retailers who'd already sat through a day's worth of presentations and hold them enthralled as you did was nothing short of amazing. Your analysis of the "Powerful Trends Shaping the Future of Retail" was insightful and thought-provoking; I saw lots of note-taking, nodding of heads and engagement with the material. And I loved watching the reactions to the store photos you presented as examples of the various trends. Nothing like a good visual to drive the point home ? and retailers apparently can't get enough of one another's merchandising and marketing tactics! Thank you again for adding so much to the content of this meeting. Your reputation is certainly well-deserved, and it was an honor to have you as part of our program.

Our attendees were so pleased with your presentations. Your detail and customization to our group was very much appreciated. Your use of humor and involvement with the audience really held their attention, and the evaluations are very strong. As a meeting planner, it is always a guess, an education one, but still a guess, as to how a speaker will be received. Thank you so much for making me look so good to my group.

We were so pleased with the content of your presentation and your unique communication style. All of your points hit home with our retailers, and we were most impresssed with how you delivered your messages in a constructive, non-threatening manner. Truly everyone in attendance learned something new--including our Sales Reps, Management Team, and other support staff. Let me say how thrilled we were with your participation in this event, and we hope to be able to work together in the future.

Thanks so much for presenting your "Great Store Managers Make Great Stores" program to our managers. We have had other presentations in the past and we've ALWAYS had a few people that just didn't get it or didn't enjoy it. It has been a month since the meeting and I have yet to find any of those people. Everyone says "IT WAS SOMETHING ON MY LEVEL" or "IT REALLY HIT HOME WITH ME!" With over 80 managers attending and to have the effect it has had is truly amazing. Thanks so much for the lively presentation.
