To those of you who need to break out of the norm:

Robert Wilson graced Great Falls with his zany presentation at the Great Falls Advertising Federation. Here's the question. Why do you pay a lawyer? The answer? Good advice. Same goes for Robert Wilson. His combination of good marketing advice and (literally) off the wall humor makes for a powerful mechanism for learning.

Teaching adults is a tough business. Mr. Wilson has mastered the art of teaching what's good for business and making the lesson stick.

If you are looking for a person to help you or your staff break through the clutter... I have two words for you. Hire him!

Sincerely,

Arthur R. Taft
Sales and Production Manager

Robert,

I just called your house – and I didn't want to let another day pass without saying thank you for doing such a great job for us in Houston. The evaluations are glowing. You should be very proud of yourself.

I owe you lunch. Come by some day soon and take me up on the offer!

Thanks again for putting on a great program!

Dear Robert,

I wanted to take a moment to write and tell you how much we enjoyed your presentation "The Innovator's Toolbox!"

You have such a unique ability to captivate your audience with humor while communicating pertinent and relevant information. Our members were not only entertained by your energetic and entertaining presentation but they learned something they could actually take back and apply within their own newspapers.

Thank you, again Robert, for the wonderful learning experience. Your witty experiences offer invaluable lessons on embracing creativity and innovation. Your references to our industry's challenges made for a seamless presentation. You left our members enlightened and energized.

I would personally recommend to any business or association looking for a dynamic and thought-provoking speaker to have you speak at their next convention or business meeting!

Best Regards,

Dana Brown

To Mr. Robert Wilson, Jumpstart Your Meeting!:

And Jumpstart... you did!! Thanx very much for the presentation made at the Kentucky Press Association Winter Convention. I was glad we had the problem of finding more chairs and making additional copies of your hand outs. The presentation was well received by our members and filling a room is one thing we'd rather see in this business, than have a highly-regarded speaker start with more empty chairs than filled chairs.

I had numerous positive comments about the session, to the point that many want to make sure we invite you back for a future session. Let me know your other topics and we'll go from there.

Feel free to pass along my comments and recommendation to other state press associations. Their members will find your "Creating Ads That Sell!" seminar worthwhile for their newspapers.

We'll be in touch.

And again, thanx.

David T.

Dear Robert:

Thank you for working hard for us yesterday! From the evaluations and talk in the hallway, your program Creating Advertising That Sells! was relevant and helpful for new and veteran staffers alike. Most of all, our staff really enjoyed and benefitted from your tips on being more creative. This is just what we needed to help us compete better in a tighter economy this year.

Thanks also for meeting our needs by doing two back-to-back sessions – it helped us on budget and attendance. We definitely got our money's worth from you and your program!

Your enthusiasm and knowledge for your subject was evident in your program. I appreciate you sharing both so well with our staff!

Best regards,

Melissa Draut
Advertising Training Director

Dear Robert

Just wanted to pass along in writing some of the comments made by the January meeting program attendees both during (I have my spies) and after your presentation:

"His presentation was hilarious!"

"A good combination of comedy and common sense."

"How can anyone stay that enthusiastic that long?!?"

"It could have gone a lot longer and I'd have been fine."

"I like his approach. Theory validated by practical examples."

"I'd love to see him do his comedy club gig."

"I wish we could have had time for Q&A. I would have stayed."

"He didn't lecture. It was a conversation."

"He made a dull day a lot more fun, I'll tell you that."

Plus, there were many more. Enough that I think in a year or so we need to talk about your coming back and doing one of your seminars. I have no doubt that it would be well received.

Robert, thanks again for joining us in Grand Rapids. We enjoyed it!

Best personal regards,

Dear Robert:

On behalf of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's Human Resource Management Association (HRMA), I'd like to thank you for your outstanding presentation during our May 27th meeting. Not only was your topic "The Innovator's Toolbox" appropriate and timely, but your humorous delivery gave our group some much needed laughter. I've been the Vice Chair and Program Director for HRMA almost two years and without question, your performance was the best we've ever had. I look forward to referring you to other organizations and associations.

Sincerely,

Jeff Fox

Dear Mr. Wilson,

I recently attended a seminar of yours entitled "Boosting Ad Sales in a Slowdown" in Mandan, North Dakota sponsored by AdFed. It was truly enlightening. In fact, I couldn't wait to put your ideas into action and used your ad: "Four Reasons Why Successful Companies Increase Advertising During a Recession" as part of a monthly newsletter that I send to my current as well as past and hopefully future clients. The response was immediate and we're about to have our 2nd largest issue since my starting as advertising director almost a year ago! Not only have I seen many new advertisers this month, but some of our current advertisers have increased the size of their ads as a direct result of this newsletter. We've also put this technique to use ourselves and have increased our advertising budget for the coming year.

Thank you for the insight and motivation. Have a happy holiday season!

Best regards,

James Jiskra
