Throughout my many years in sales, I have attended dozens and dozens of sales seminars and motivational workshops with some of the industry's top presenters like Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins to name a few. I have to say that David Rich is up there with the best. I came away from his presentation with several new ideas and concepts that I could readily adapt in my sales position. David has a great quick wit, and presentation style that is refreshing and informative.

David is such an awesome speaker. I've utilized him a couple of times and hope to again. He's really engaging with the audience and his energy keeps the room alive. I've also read his books and he knows how to get people motivated about helping their consumers. If I had to sum him up in one word...it would be contagious!

David Rich is one of the most entertaining, engaging and educational speakers I have ever heard. Life is about stories and when David spoke to us in New Orleans, I did not only hear what he said, I saw it as if I was there. The level of personal connection made the time fly by and I did not want his presentation to end. That's a great talent to share. Thank you David.
