“I thought I’d follow up and let you know how well my presentation with GM went. As a reminder, my intent was to get them so excited that the agency people would organize a second meeting with the GM Brand Team. I opened with my statement “boys who love cars become men who love cars” and I had them as soon as I showed the photo of Jay Leno. I closed with my OSB and as I was leaving, they asked how many cars I want! My favorite comment was “This was an hour really well spent”.
I really enjoyed our 3 sessions together and feel that you’ve given me some incredibly powerful tools to work with. Thank you.”

“Eloqui trained my Strategic Sales division. Almost immediately, we achieved stronger buy-in from our clients at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us. Two of our team members were promoted… And our numbers improved. Now we never construct a presentation without using Eloqui techniques. Once you’ve worked with them, you never go back!”

“I just want to THANK YOU for the outstanding job you did leading our team through communication training this week. We all thought that it was extremely valuable and immediately relevant. You are both so engaging and effective, and perfectly role model the strategies you teach. Everyone loved the training.”

I just delivered my presentation this morning to at the Toy Design Summit to an audience of about 120 Toy Designers. I was able to incorporate what I learned from you this week; and if I must say so myself it was a great success. I had a clear intention, a consistent theme, a great opening story that tied back to the theme and the closing, and 3 main buckets supported by a PowerPoint that was almost entirely visual with a few videos to illustrate my points.
I even practiced the voice warm-up exercises on the way there, and calmed my nerves by telling myself that they needed to hear what I had to say. Thank you again for helping me understand the strategies that helped me to “own the room.”

“…the Eloqui session was two of most productive hours I’ve ever spent in a training– even better than I anticipated. Deborah and David were great and I’ve learned tons of tips I’ll use in my presentations – starting today! If the opportunity arises count me in to take a follow up course next year.”

“I just wanted to let you know that my Operations Update presentation went well overall… Three people (our EVP, VP and colleague) referenced my presentation in their presentation which means they at least paid attention and found it meaningful.
The best/funniest part is a lady came up to me afterwards and said “I didn’t know you were allowed to do that – talk about your personal life. If I knew that then it would have been easier for me. “ I thought that was interesting. It did still feel like I was ‘breaking’ the rules even though it linked back to my content nicely.”

“Our customer marketing team had a best practice sharing session on Friday and Ashley was one of 5 planners who presented. She kicked off the day first and would have made you proud.

She was the only one who stood and presented from the front of the room. Her opening was engaging. She was successful in setting the tone right away! She was the only one who had a theme for her presentation, and it made her content memorable. And to finish it all off, she closed with a bookend.

Ashley really stood out this week and made the most of an internal meeting to put all your techniques into practice! Thank you for inspiring us!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for a wonderful session this week. I really feel I was able to gain many skills that will help me not only in presentation, but also in every day communication with my buyer. I was extremely pleased with the skill set that I can now apply to my job!”
