His presentations were excellent. He researched his audience and tailored a 60-minute talk on retention, showing that it is an ongoing process...which was a new concept for the audience. After the Toronto conference, he and I felt he could do even more (at the upcoming Calgary conference) and so we extended his speaking time to 75-minutes and he re-wrote much of his material. Again he gave a great performance and the audience gave him an outstanding rating. I strongly recommend Thomas Stirr as a speaker, moderator, and consultant. ?Very informative, opened up many new areas in the thought process.?

?The seminar has brought out more ideas on how to use my strengths to go after more client business without worrying about negotiations.?

?Good refocus ? moved well ? excellent speaker. A great review of important concepts.?

?Seminar made me ask questions about myself and enlightened me to improve my method of selling in many areas.?

?Very detailed 2 days ? covered a lot of topics. Understand the type of customer we are dealing with ? this is critical to our success. We need to sell more referral business.?

?Good presentation. Lots of tools for us to work with. Lots of new thoughts for me.?

?Enjoyed discovering my personality type. Fundamental approaches to sales were excellent. All in all ? excellent.?

?You have a knack at making the people taking your course relaxed. Never feeling centred out or threatened. ? ?It was an awesome 2 days! Really enjoyed seeing what personality I was at work and home.?

?Having been on a few of these types of seminars, a breath of fresh air in knowing that you were ?more than familiar? with our business. Job well done.?

?Value clarification exercises are always great. Reminds me why we?re here! Enjoyed this part very much.?

?The interaction ? having to participate in test, quizzes and group activities was an excellent way to find out how other people on our teams work and think.?

?I really enjoyed the entire seminar. The personality assessments were good and will be extremely helpful. But the sales skills section will help me immensely in the day-to-day interactions with my clients.?

?Days were very educational and a very soft approach to a sales seminar ? very refreshing.?

?(I enjoyed) the manner with which it was formatted. Very good link from the 1st day (personal holistic) to the transition to our industry, ourselves, and our company.?

?I thought you involved us all quite well without pressuring people to respond. Delivery of material was at a good pace, and breaks were appreciated.?

?3-part questions ? I found this to be very insightful, obviously an excellent way to open and control presentation. Look forward to putting this into use.? "Wonderful, holistic approach leading to practical sales tools. The introspective topics and discussions were ultimately tied into practical sales approaches. All too often other seminars have looked at such topics in isolation of one another."

"(the seminar) helped outline personality styles for myself and others. Gave me a clear picture of goal setting for both personal and business. High energy + low pressure = Good job!"

"Excellent in terms of personal as well as business goals/objectives. Entertaining - not once did I look at my watch due to boredom or the seminar dragging on."

"Good, well done job with lasting effect! I think the level of participation required was inviting, rather than intimidating. Some presenters abuse their audience by requiring to much fast thinking, and therefore keep people from relaxing enough to absorb the material. You have the right approach."

"The combination of presentation handouts and self-evaluation was thoroughly engaging. Never felt tired or bored. May be the first time this has happened."

"Totally different approach to sales skills vs. the ordinary. Very much out of the box."
