“I want to let you know how much I enjoyed your presentation to our PR and advertising account services team recently. The energy with which you presented was motivating and the quality of the information you shared was “mastercard-like”...priceless. What can we do to reciprocate? I’m certainly going to recommend to several of our destination PR clients that they meet with you and retain your services. One hour with you will sell lots of their rooms.”
