Arild, Bring Dialog 5 Sep 2011

The Dialog Conference (www.dialogkonferansen.com) - is Scandinavia largest marketing conference. It has run for 15 consecutive years, and seen more than 500 internationally well-known speakers. Each and every one are scored by the audience. BJ got 4,90 - with 5,00 as max. We all loved him. He has the stage presence of an actor, with a message you will remember for a long time. His story is funny, witty, intelligent, meaningful and remarkable. As he is himself. Do your attendees a big favour, and give them BJ.

Good Morning BJ

I thought I would drop you a quick, if belated, line to thank you for your excellent presentation at our conference last week.

As I mentioned to you on the day, I have held similar events in the past at my previous firm with Neil and Christine Hamilton, Karren Brady and Gerald Ratner to name a few. Your talk was the most entertaining and engaging by far. You have clearly had your challenges in business ( as well as your successes) but I think it tells us something about you and your beliefs when you are able to recount your history in such a way as to deliver a positive message about life and business.

The feedback forms that were completed by the audience were, without exception, hugely complimentary and, on a scale of 1 to 4, all bar one response form marked you down as a 4. The other gave you 5. Many attendees have since commented when we have spoken to them how much they enjoyed the morning. A couple have asked for your contact details so more work may flow.

Thank you again and I wish you every success in the future.

BJ knew exactly how to pitch his talk so our audience of insurance brokers could relate to him. He got them thinking about how they can push the boundaries and fired their imagination about what it is possible to achieve as an entrepreneur facing adversity. BJ definitely added value to our conference.

Hi BJ

It was really great to meet you at our conference on 20 January. Thank you again for delivering such a passionate, compelling and inspirational presentation. You really wowed our team and the feedback has been great – a typical comment being “…exceptional and probably one of the best guest speakers I have ever seen. Inspirational, down to earth, intelligent and very engaging.” We always gather feedback from these events and I thought you’d be interested to know that your presentation scored extremely highly with 94% of attendees finding it useful.

A personal thank you from me as well. As the person ultimately responsible for the success of the conference, I’m very grateful that you got the day off to such a great start. We spent a lot of time thinking about the guest speaker slot. The brief was to find someone who would build their message around the customer, who would be different (certainly different from a ‘stuffy’ banker type), who would make our people really think, and who would be fun and inspirational. You met all of these criteria perfectly and were a big factor in making the day such a success. Thank you!

All the best

BJ's presentation was excellent and he certainly enthused the audience! The managers at the conference thought he was a great choice and provided a totally different perspective to the other (internal) speakers. BJ also inspired them as after spending 45 minutes with the audience he said that he felt that they had a really good "buzz" about them and felt that the directorate [marketing] had a really good group of people. Thank you for your help in booking him.

Andrew, Nokia Siemens Networks 19 Oct 2010

BJ was energising and charasmatic as always and his story remains a great one. For the new delegates at our event the story was entertaining and enlightening with some solid business home truths. However, the speech was much the same as the one delivered in Barcelona seven months previously. So for some repeat delegates there was nothing new. Would be good to see some variation when the same client makes a second request.

BJ spoke before the Entrepreneur's Organization Philippines for maybe just an hour but it was a substance and humor filled hour. He was a down-to-earth guest as well! No big ego!

How well did the speaker / artist meet your objectives ?

BJ started the 2nd day of the Ad Congress with the energy it needed. BJ was able to effectively challenge the audience to think in a more creative way in support of our theme Perspectives : what do you think ?

How would you describe the audience reaction ?

Phenomenal. BJ was like a rock star. The audience was truly engaged with positive reactions, laughter and questions after his talk. Everyone wanted a picture with BJ after the talk all the way to the parties in the evening.

As a speaker, BJ was engaging, pleasant and truly invited his audience into his own world and his point of view.

Hi BJ

Hope that Tuesday evening was as successful as Tuesday morning’s IFP session!

I thought you might like to see some of the comments posted on our Linkedin Group today following conference – see below.

Thanks a mil for a fantastic presentation, and for participating so enthusiastically with the panel session and chatting with members as well as Kevin, editor of our magazine. It got our event off to a wonderful start and it really set the tone for what was probably our best conference yet. Not bad after 22 years!

Regards

Sue

Sandy, Businesslink.gov.uk 18 Nov 2008

This is the second time I have engaged BJ and he does not disappoint! His inspirational and motivational presentation was right on the button, he managed to capture the mood of the meeting and use his experience to illustrate the businesses advantage.

He is an honest presenter and does not pull punches. He is down to earth and has good stories to tell which can be related to business practise. He is an inspiration and an audience pleaser, highly recommended if you need a witty, inspirational speaker for your event.
