Rave reviews would be and understatement, you are one of the best speakers we have ever had at Smith Barney. I really appreciate your preprogram research and funny to-the-point delivery. Let’s try to match schedules for multiple dates next year. Thank you for all that you did for us. Frank P. Breazeale, III Regional Sales and Training Officer, Smith Barney

Your presentation to the APICS group on 11/6 was beyond excellent! I truly enjoyed your presentation and found it extremely informative. It is among the best I have ever seen - and I spent 27 years in the telecom industry and took 5-10 days of training each year! Joan Robbins, PMP Technical Project Manager, Global Infrastructure Technology Process Planning Organization, Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals Corporation

I am thrilled to have been able to attend 2 of your presentations. They were interesting, funny, thought-provoking and educational. Your skill and talent as a professional speaker is evident.

Garrison was able to get through to our people like no one else. We thought we knew it all; we were wrong. Chevron Texaco

Your program was the best received in my 30 years in the business. There are always one or two who find something negative to say. Not this time — all positive comments from those attending. Great job! Kelly Littlefield, Vice President Sales, Kirby-Smith Machinery

We tasked you with presenting the most important issue for our organization and you hit a home run! Your presentation was custom tailored to our needs and on target. You have equipped and motivated us to make some fundamental changes in the way we operate our businesses. This is what we will build on to fuel our growth over the next few years. Richard Malzone, VP Operations, United Marketing Solutions


Telstrat

Garrison did a fantastic job! We had to split our group in half and he did two one-hour programs back to back. He delivered "very customized" programs the same way with equal impact. We shot video of the sessions and sent them to be viewed by a location in Phoenix that could not attend our event. They gave the same great feed back as the groups that attended the live presentation. Steve Malfitano, National Sales Director, USAA

Garrison, your presentation was terrific! The entire team took something away! Richard Kase, CEO, Cypress Health Care

Excellent! Mixing humor with serious topics and talking with the audience instead of to the audience, kept everyone involved. Conoco-Phillips


Lockheed Martin


Garrison’s address to the group followed our Vice-President’s message. That can be a hard act to follow. Not for Garrison. He had the group engaged the moment he was in front of them. Not only was he entertaining, he hit every message we discussed during our conference call. The group felt he knew where they were coming from and understood the difficulties and challenging people they deal with. Garrison’s sense of humor played such a great role for the group as well. We tried to make the meeting valuable, yet fun. He completely exceeded the expectations of our meeting attendees. Deborah A. Davis, State Farm Insurance Companies

Garrison, I am writing to let you know how much we appreciate you speaking at our annual Manager’s Conference. (Just in case you didn’t get the message from the three standing ovations our managers gave you.) You did a masterful job of helping us to laugh at ourselves. Through all the laughter, we learned how to be more successful in all aspects of life. You have the unique ability as a speaker to both entertain and educate. We were certainly fortunate finding you. James D. Dreibelbis, President, First National Bank Texas

Thanks for a great presentation! You are my highest ranking speaker! – 11.5 out of a possible 12. Patti Fitzgerald, CBCP, Disaster Recovery Magazine

We have used Garrison fifteen times already this year, with terrific results. His funny, interactive approach keeps the group focused, and his "dealing with difficult people" segment, among others, was particularly effective.

I am not one that will usually write a letter to someone that I have heard speak, but you have changed that. I recently had the great pleasure to have had the opportunity to hear you speak at our annual sales rally held this year in Reno Nevada . Your dynamic delivery kept me alert, and involved. It was a very rewarding experience for me and is the reason for this letter. Your keynote address is inspiring, funny and one of the most entertaining I’ve ever heard. Your use of humor mixed with your real life experiences kept all that attended glued to your every word. I have received numerous comments from attendees and they seem to agree that it was one of the best ever! Receiving a standing ovation from this group, that is quite a compliment. Thank you for sharing your time, your knowledge and your sense of humor. Eric W. Berggen, Director of Sales and Marketing, Old Republic Title Company

Garrison Wynn is a most talented, entertaining and compelling speaker. He keeps his audience with him throughout utilizing his sharp wit to demonstrate his key points. The audience leaves the presentation feeling they have gained a great deal of knowledge that can be applied to their everyday business. Donald Loftus, President, CEO, Cosmopolitan Cosmetics

I just wanted to thank you for your presentation, "Making the Most of Difficult Situations" which received great reviews at our conference. Your entertaining and high-energy style really helped kick off our conference the right way. I know that everyone could relate to the experiences of working with difficult clients - and your tips on how to make the most of these relationships will help everyone in their practice. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future clients who are considering using Wynn Solutions to present at their own conferences in the future. TD WATERHOUSE Institutional Services

Merrill Lynch

Your ability to deliver strong, customized content and to be so funny at the same time is unmatched. We have received excellent feedback. AIM Management

I just got off of the phone with my VP/GM and divisional VP and they both thought he was just great! Also - all of the customers and folks that I talked to just loved him. He was a big hit! We do have a survey that is going out to the attendees this week, so I can send that feedback to you as well, but I think we can officially declare Garrison the "Bee's Knees!" American Express

Great job! You have helped us to better explain the value of our services, streamline our processes and define the specific talents needed to hire the right people.

Thank you for the great training workshop you provided for the sales team. The tools you taught us have made us more effective in opening relationships with our customers.

You spoke at our sales rally last month. The response was phenomenal. We believe you made a real difference in the moral and education of our people. Thank you for the effort you put into your research. The knowledge of our industry was the key. I personally have benefited from your relationship sales approach, and have increased my average monthly sales performance by approximately 25% accordingly. I have been in sales for several years and I feel that I learned as much about sales in the one hour we had with you as I did in the entire year prior. The consensus from the sales group here at ALLTEL is that we are eagerly looking forward to our next training session with you. David Stephenson, Major Accounts Executive, Northwest Region, ALLTEL

Every one of my sales people from locations around the country thanked me personally for bringing you in as our trainer. I have been very successful in business and have great insight on what works. So I wanted to tell you officially “it worked”. Anthony Cantrell, Owner, ACC Consulting Company

Having attended the sales training and having heard the comments made to me by the salesmen, I must say this was one of the most productive seminars RMS has participated in, in the 14 years that I have been involved in sales management. We changed the date of our summer meeting to fit Garrison's schedule so that he could present the next round of training to us!
Dave Johnson, VP Sales, Road Machinery & Supplies Co.

I would highly recommend your services to anyone interested in becoming a public speaker. Thank you again for your time and the extraordinary courtesy you extended to me.
