| We received this letter after a recent speaking engagement with the Institute of Management Consulting New England Chapter. Dear Mike: On behalf of the Institute of Management Consulting New England Chapter, we thank you for being such an engaging and enthusiastic keynote speaker at our Thursday, October 13, 2005 monthly dinner program. Thanks for presenting the results of your research study that surveyed companies about how they buy professional services including management consulting. Our audience of seasoned management consultants appreciated the insights you provided on the following questions: Where do companies find new professional service providers? What do they look for when the service providers are selling their services? What role does the web play? What websites specifically influence the decision makers when they are looking for consulting services?
The consultants in attendance walked away with important information that will guide their future marketing and sales activities. A number of consultants have already begun to rethink and tweak their approaches as a result of the research findings. Program attendance was up due to the enticing topic as were program evaluation ratings. As a speaker and the program content you shared met and exceeded the expectations of over 88% of our attendees. That is the highest ranking awarded to any keynote speaker year to date. Thanks again for a thought provoking evening. We would very much like to invite you back in the future for another engaging and informative forum. Sincerely, Carol Bergeron
President Institute of Management Consultants New England Chapter |
