”The seminar was useful and rewarding. It is of real value to benefit from John’s experience and knowledge in generating referrals and also to share comments and observations amongst a group of participants who have common new business challenges. It is worth attending and represents excellent value for money”

“I found the workshop very relevant particularly around the 7 step process. This gives you a process to follow when asking clients for referrals and therefore should make this an easier thing to do.”

“The seminar was a great success, not only for the other participants, but also from our position as a sponsor. We got good exposure. We were able to reinforce our relationship with existing clients, and with new businesses. We also gained a lot of insight into how we may use your proposals for obtaining work from referrals. The four representatives of Henderson Reeves Connell Rishworth who attended, have all been very positive. This is thanks to your skill and presentation, for which I thank you.”

“During the past 3 months IFA (along with IBANZ) has promoted
Tight Market Tactics workshops, run by John Morrell to members. These
workshops cover referral marketing techniques.
Those members who took the opportunity to attend the first series
of workshops have provided very positive feedback and having sat in a workshop
myself, I can attest as to it’s relevance as a practical solution for many
advisers who may be finding the market pretty tough going at present.”

"My name is Steven Gardiner and I have been the owner of Golds Health & Fitness in Rotorua since February 1991. In this time we have taken our membership bass from a low 400 members to over 1800 members.
I put much of our success down to always staying open to fresh and innovative marketing strategies. Over the years we have tested and measured a number of referral based programmes.
My club manager and I attended the business forum in Tauranga on Thursday the 25th June 2009. I must say it was one of the most power packed workshops I have ever attended. Tina and I have come away from there with a new zeal and lots of great ideas to improve on our existing systems.
John Morrell really knows his stuff and I loved the way he got everyone actively involved in the training.
In the past I tended to shy away from business trainings like this as they can get quite monotonous and boring, but this was definitely not the case this time as John kept it moving with some powerful business and marketing strategies.
I would highly recommend every business owner and their key staff, what ever industry you represent, to get along to a workshop lectured by John Morrell."
Yours in Health,
