"Stu did an exceptional job when he presented at our annual sales conference. The tools he provided have proven to be valuable for our sales team. His presentation took us to the application level where we gained deeper insight into the unique approach to take when addressing customers. We learned about ourselves and each other. And we had fun doing it!!! Thank you Stu for your time and sharing your knowledge with us. Awesome job!"

I heard Stu speak at the prestigious International conference in Anaheim USA. He was informative, entertaining and an overall excellent speaker with so many ideas we can use in our business and personal lives. So many wanted to speak with him afterwards to have more of a personal insight which Stu was happy to oblige.

We were pleased to have Stu Schlackman speak at our recent Area Sales Manager Division Meeting in February 2012. Stu was an engaging speaker. His presentation on the four Personality Perspectives was both entertaining and informative. Everyone walked away with new ideas on how to deal with the different personality types and, more importantly, how to motivate them. Several weeks after the session, we refer to his training in our everyday conversations. Stu left a lasting and positive impression. I would recommend Stu to any group looking for a presenter who will help break down communication barriers in the workplace.

Stu was an exceptional speaker and motivated our entire Global Sales Organization. His insight to individual’s personalities was both interesting and right on target. His book and concept “Four People You Should Know” was a big hit at our conference. Following are several of the comments received from the attendees. “Thought provoking.” “A great model for client segmentation, and easy to use.” “The method is very impressive, practical and meaningful.” “Information was fantastic, session was invaluable for building camaraderie, and knowing how to appeal to different types of people.” “Stu was a great speaker, and the topic will be valuable in improving my selling skills and approach to customers.” “Content can be used in our day to day sales efforts.”

" I saw Stu Schlackman speak at MDRT In Anaheim where he presented to approx 1000 members and received an outstanding response from everyone in the room. Stu's presentation style is both entertaining and very informative.Stu received a lot of questions following his presentation which is always a great sign that the audience were engaged and wanting more. I would welcome the opportunity to attend a longer workshop/presentation from Stu and I look forward to reading his book."

“…the speaker was fantastic!” “Excellent session, Stu was a lively, enjoyable speaker who presented his material in an interesting & compelling manner.” “This seminar is helpful to anyone who works with a team, or sells anything. I plan to share his material with my company.” “Stu’s presentation helped me understand human behavior even more; which will help me in my personal & professional life.” “It was truly a gift in learning this new information & taking the test from Stu’s book has become a hit in my office.”

Your workshop on the Four People You Should Know was extraordinary. It was widely acclaimed by our staff members who operate at every level of the organization including, top administrators, program supervisors, mental health practitioners; as well as our support, financial, operations, human resources and development staff. It takes a master educator and communicator to appeal to such a diverse group of people. By engaging the group in a highly interactive and fun learning process, you enabled them to become co-creators in deconstructing and simplifying an invaluable approach for understanding human behavior and emotional intelligence. Your lively mini-lectures, colorful visual aids and infectious sense of humor helped our entire staff to understand how to better sustain a healthy organizational life through deeper self-understanding and improved communication skills.

Thank you very much for putting together and presenting an excellent workshop for Avnet, Inc., on personalities and how they can impact our success and ability to excel in the marketplace! Our participants in the workshop, which included Sales, Supply Chain, and Finance, all came away excited about their new perspectives regarding the importance of understanding human behavior and how relationships are a key ingredient to effective selling, as well as improving customer service and effectiveness within support operations such as Finance and Supply Chain. We appreciate the long standing relationship with you and your leadership in this area. Your personal speaking ability, workshop content and professional publications such as, “Four People You Should Know”, are all outstanding!

I have been singing your praises all over the agency since Monday. I had a very strong personal reaction of, “OMG, this is the best Sales/Personality Training that I have ever attended…and I have sat through a bunch of them. But since Monday I have gotten such glowing feedback from everyone that I have talked to about your training session. Please use me as a testimonial for future business. I’m a Stu Schlackman fan.

“Stu is a terrific, experienced and a very trustworthy speaker! He brings humor, amazing experiences and credibility to the world of sales and helping sales people get better and being excellent at what they do. His ability to deliver this content is fun to listen to and loaded with takeaways”

I wanted to let you know how powerful your training was. I have surveyed my teams and they were blown away. â????Best training everâ???? is the common theme. You gave us an incredible insight into our own behaviors and make up. Equipped with this knowledge we are in s better position to help our customers achieve their goals which in turn helps us achieve ours. Thank you for everything. I look forward to have you come back out again.

So grateful you and Scott presented at the Silpada National Conference. I think your workshops were incredibly successful-great feedback! Iâ????m anxious to finish your book-itâ????s so interesting to confirm what my momâ????s been telling me my whole life! Wishing you continued success and hope to see you again!

Itâ????s easy to find a speaker that will inspire you for a moment in time. However, long term, motivation is only as good as the tools you have to support it. This is where Stu separates himself. For our annual conference of franchise owners, we wanted to give them a truly valuable presentation that would not be forgotten within a few hours. Stu did his homework to learn about us ahead of time, arrived early enough to interact with us before his workshop, and then made the time he had with us count with engaging, enlightening, and invaluable insight into what makes us all individuals. The books and reference materials he included were truly appreciated as an ongoing connection to the message. There is not a doubt in my mind that the conversation he started with us will continue for years to come and go in many different directions for each of our attendees. We cannot recommend Stu highly enough.

On behalf of NAIFA-St. Louis, thank you for sharing your excellent presentation. The group thoroughly enjoyed your comments and we've received excellent feedback. Quality presentations like yours are an important part of the member benefits and help to improve the membership experience. Thank you again for the nice visit, great presentation and your continued support.

I met Stu 11 years ago as he was leaving a highly successful and stressful corporate position to begin speaking, training and coaching. He was such a gift. Stu helped me in training a sales team to identify communication techniques in dealing with the 4 personality styles and modeling targeted presentation skills.Teaching me to be a better leader and speaker was the surprising by product of his sessions with our team. Watching Stu cajole, persuade and influence his audience is such a delight. He leads from his heart with an attitude of gratitude. I would recommend Stu to anyone looking to refine or build a team in this very competitive sales industry.

Thank you so much for your fabulous presentation at our staff retreat. Our team greatly benefited from these exercises - particularly about interacting with other personalities. Rest assured we will put this knowledge to good use as we approach the next legislative session.

DogWatch Inc. is a manufacturer of electronic pet training products with worldwide distribution. We invited Stu to address our Annual Dealer Meeting. Prior to our meeting, Stu took the time to understand our business. He traveled in the field with several of our customers and tailored his presentation to our business…for our dealers. He was lively, engaging and extremely personable. A real asset to our meeting!! We have already invited Stu back for next year's annual Dealer Meeting…what higher compliment can you give!!
