“I want to thank you again for your presentation during our Powertrain expo last week. Your message was spot on and even tailored to our industry-related issues. I knew that you and your message would be well received with our group, and it truly was. Great feedback keeps coming in with the main theme of being, “we need to hear more from Mark Sanborn”. You really did exceed our expectations. So thanks for making me look good Mark – I feel like I owe you one.”
“Mark – Thank you for the time you invested into the presentation. All of our participants both enjoyed the content and delivery of the message. I know each of them left yesterday with notes and action items they will look to introduce and employ with their respective teams of contributors. It was great to see how you were able to customize your presentation. You hit the nail right on the head for us. Thank you again!”
