Thanks for the great job for Nationwide PrimeTime! University in Las Vegas. Your program, What Big Brands Know, was one of the most attended and highest rated programs in the conference. I heard nothing but rave reviews from those who participated in the three sessions you conducted for us. I particularly appreciated the extra effort you put forth to ensure that you knew about our dealers and that you tailored your programs to our members. Most important, you understand your role as a speaker and ours as your customer. I appreciate a real pro who makes my job as a meeting planner easier.

Gerry--you have no idea how much your keynote presentation has helped our organization. I must say I came along with the usual reservations that you have about whether the whole thing might be very ‘Standardized’ and not relevant to our organization but it was brilliant, entertaining, informative and most importantly relevant, plenty of information to take away and refer to as well. You helped me to truly understand what big brands do know that I can use in my business. I was very pleasantly surprised that you weren't the same old, same old but kept my attention from beginning to end. When you were done I was anxious and ready to get off my backside and put it into action. I AM SOLD…you are the best speaker I have heard in decades!

Gerry O'Brien's time at the mic was sensational. He wasn't JUST charismatic & entertaining, we got actual takeaways from him. So much more to brand awareness than we thought. Many many elements of his presentation caused us to have chats afterward on what we'd like to change in the business. Thanks for bringing him in.
