"Dean was TERRIFIC!! He did a lot of homework on World Kitchen and started his presentation by impressively naming off all of the brands we carry! Heck, some days I can’t even do that! He made a real connection with my troops and gave us some great philosophy and tips for our busy season on both Customer Service and Phone Sales. He was a great kick-off to our extended hours busy season and I give Dean an A+ for his presentation."

"I want to thank you for joining our Sales Leadership group in Atlantic City at the Marriott Seaview Resort and Spa. Your message was extremely appropriate to our Sales Leaders during these uncertain financial times. As you are aware, like most major corporations, we are dealing with lots of change both with the economy and organizationally and your message was relevant and on the mark.
Dean, you were the last speaker for our conference and as you are know, being the closing key note speaker can be demanding in order to keep the audience engaged and have them leave with a positive message. Your energy, enthusiasm and passion, delivered with some well timed humor kept the group involved to the very end."
