Your knowledge of training exceptional customer service was just what we were looking to provide to our radio audience. You were concise, on topic, and entertaining.
Experience Pros - Feb 24 2011 -
WOW! WOW! WOW! Lisa's presentation was FANTASTIC in Washington DC at the new Gaylord National Convention Center. Lisa exceeded the expectations of Contractor Connection's 1,800 plus in attendance. Lisa probably always receives a STANDING OVATION, because she connects so well with ALL audiences, but getting one from all of those crusty contractors and Insurance company executives was a real FEAT, and a testimony to the practical customer service ideas, memorable stories and compelling challenges she delivered. As a platinum sponsor of this conference, I have to say that their choice of speakers was EXCELLENT!
