Raves:
Brian
Matthews,
Brendan Power, Founder & Past President Professional Speakers Association... Hi Tina ... a tremendous programme of which your talk was a vital ingredient. Your PR ideas were great and I'll certainly be putting some of them into action.
Dave Fenwick, Rotary International... Hello Tina ... I was so impressed and just wish I could have heard such a speech 5 or more years ago. I do hope we will have the pleasure of meeting again
Lisa Lewis PR & Marketing Officer, Doorway, Salvation Army ... Hi Tina ... Just to say thank you very much for a very interesting presentation last Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce Lunch. I found your theory on the topic of “Contra deals” very enlightening, since as a charity we have found it very difficult in the past to ask for support from businesses without being able to offer very much in return. … It was also good to listen to a speech on marketing that can be adapted for use in the voluntary sector, since so often they can be directed solely at the business sector of society.
National Association of Estate Agents Conference... 'Thankyou for coming over to talk to us on Wednesday. Afterwards, Richard (Chairman) told me he found it to be most interesting. I don't think I have ever heard him say that before - usually he grumbles that everything is so boring. Janet Wilson FNAEA
