What they are saying....

As a regular Footdown speaker Frank provides the best information around sales and marketing strategies and challenges members to consider adopting world class approaches. This site is another great example of the benefit and inspiration Frank provides to leaders.

It really frustrates me when managers listen to a great speech or workshop, delivered by a world-class expert speaker - who then all depart and then do absolutely nothing with the content. With the Productivity Centre – this all changes. Now participants and audience members can follow-through consistently with the extensive portfolio of tools, audio-files and video-clips on the platform. Every HR & Corporate Training Department should have their managers subscribed to such a service and for once receive a measurable and high-ROI from a management training program or keynote speech.

Frank's stuff is fantastic and this idea is a brilliant way of getting his content to people who cannot access in the normal way

CEO level delegates attending the inaugural Abacus International Online Travel Leaders Retreat
rated Frank Furness as one of the most appreciated contributors at the event held in
Macau on 4-6 July 2008. His presentation not only provided thought provoking new perspectives
for online Travel Agencies, the delegates attending felt that many of the tactics and
techniques for online marketing could be implemented almost immediately. We greatly appreciated
Frank’s contribution to the Retreat and with its sound mix of robust thinking and
practical advice and would welcome him as a presenter at our events in the future.

Rome, April 2008, - an offsite meeting with my reports - heads of business from across the
world, different nationalities, different backgrounds and different business areas. Frank conducted
a half day session on day two of the three day meeting.
Frank is energised, motivated and engaging. There was no-one in the room who was not
captivated by what he was saying. He had really prepared and tailored his material to fit into
my required business outcomes. The whole morning was varied, interesting, moving, thought
provoking and uplifting.
My team was left highly motivated for the business year ahead, driven, and armed with tools
to help realise action plans. Testament to the impact of Frank’s session, is that once back in
the office, dealing with daily work issues, the team continues to pull on the resources and
motivation gained from Frank.
I would highly recommend Frank – he is one of the best speakers I have ever had the opportunity
to experience.

Thank you for a job well done in Budapest. You will no doubt be pleased to hear you were
rated the top speaker out of the 18 speakers. In the comments section the respondents
wrote the following: motivational, very good, relevant to all and: “it underlined the importance
of people in the organisation”.

While working on the details of our 2008 LEADERSHIP programme, Mr. Furness was suggested
to us by various people. Were they ever right! After a brief, but very pleasant and ‘to
the point’ telephone conversation, I was fully confident that Frank was definitely ‘our man’.
Seen his extensive background in sales, we asked Mr. Furness to take care of the ‘HSMAI
Leadership in Sales Event on March 13th 2008. Frank delivered that afternoon an upbeat, dynamic
and cutting edge presentation on sales & marketing. Filled with humour, impressive
facts, ‘speaking’ pictures and many, many practical ‘sales tools’. Afterwards he left the audience
with several dedicated websites full of practical tools for their review and use. The feedback
we got from our members was nothing less then superb! I therefore can only strongly
advise any organization (looking for the ‘latest in sales & marketing’) to contact or even better:
‘secure’ Mr. Frank Furness for their programme.

“Frank Furness spoke to my Academy for Chief Executives Group 11 meeting in December 2007
and received the highest score of the year – 9.5. Many members described this a magical learning
day and were euphoric in their praise for Frank as a speaker both from the stand point of delivery
as well as content.
From my point of view, as Chairman for Group 11 and former National Sales Manager and Managing
Director of Encyclopaedia Britannica, I can say with complete confidence that Frank
Furness is as good as it gets when he is on the stage delivering his message to his sales orientated
audience.
He is humorous, charismatic and completely knowledgeable on his subject. He is quite simply,
completely professional and outstanding value.

Your program at NSA Colorado was incredibly helpful. I have been singing your praises and marvelling
that you would share that information so generously.

“I’ve now seen Frank have an impact on three separate audiences from chief executives to
people in their first sales role. He is always stimulating – with a great combination of practical
sales knowledge, constant confidence-building, and an energizing presentational style”
