“ I don’t have time for books that too long to make their point. That’s why I like this book so much. Each chapter us clear, concise and doesn’t waste either words or pages giving you practical information you can actually use to change your life and your business. This one is a keeper.”

"Dr. Barton Goldsmith has made presentations to the executive teams of my two companies, Williams Worldwide, Inc. and Williams Worldwide Television. His presentations have been great. He has been instrumental in the companies' growth and direction, and his input has been invaluable in the reorganization of the companies. There have also been some very positive changes in the executives since his presentations, and I would highly recommend him as a speaker."

Sincerely yours,
Kathleen J. Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Williams Worldwide, Inc. / Williams Worldwide Television

"Dear Barton: Thank you for your series of lectures to our employees, especially to our inside sales management group. Your workshops have given our managers a new outlook on team building and motivation, which they have been putting to use on a daily basis. It has also given them a way to communicate with each other that is meaningful and relevant. The enthusiasm that has been built from your program has helped me in building a strong leadership team that has filtered its way throughout the entire organization. I hope that we will be able to use your services again in the future."

"Dear Dr.Goldsmith, I want to thank you for your recent resource presentation to our Leadership Network group. Your topic "Client-Centered Customer Service and Sales" was not only timely (we had been discussing the need to upgrade our member skills), you stimulated our thinking beyond the normal customer service paradigm. One added benefit was that we had a number of guests from our member’s companies who left in a buzz. I heard from several that they went back and were already implementing several suggestions you put forth. I heard a couple of members discussing during a break that you had done "a hell of a lot of research". I thought so, too. Since we had been talking in the group about the possibility of a recession down the road, your focus of making our businesses "recession proof" was a hit. You had a big impact. Once again, great job. We particularly liked your humor and anecdotes. You kept the session lively and facilitated deep learning. We will have you back!"
Sincerely,
Jim Kelley, Group Facilitator,The Leadership Network

"Dear Barton: Thank you for a wonderful presentation to TEC 2 members and guests on September 30 on "Olympic Success". You’ll be pleased to know that you earned scores of 4.5 for content and 4.6 on presentation skills. Your "recommended" rating was 95%. Congratulations! Several members were effusive in their praise of you, Barton. At least one, Fritz Ruf, is considering engaging you for a presentation to his agency, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority. That’s high praise indeed.
Here’s wishing you continued success in your work. Meeting you was a delight."
Sincerely,
George Halaska Chairman, TEC 2

"Dear Dr. Goldsmith: The management team at InfoLink is very impressed with the four series seminar that you did for our entire staff. Not only were the seminars themselves educational, but the reaction from all employees has been very encouraging. Our people continually refer to the lessons learned in the seminars and have actually formed a volunteer committee that changes each month to continue to promote the concepts of team work.There is, also, a noticeable change in the way our Customer Service Professionals interact with our customers. Plus, our employees are interacting with each other in a more constructive and supportive manner. Overall I can say that your teachings and tips have really boosted the quality of our customer service. Thank you so very much for your time and energy. Your services were quite valuable and I am looking forward to using you again at some point next year."

Sincerely,
Leslie J. Nadell, COO, InfoLink Screening Services, Inc
