Webinar / Presentation Feedback Snippets

Hi Darren, Really enjoyed hearing about your work at Docusign. Great takeaways. Shared with some channel leaders I know telling them that MUST WATCH podcast. appreciate getting connected. Mark

Darren - I wanted to let you know that I thought your session at Channel Focus was the best. Dede

Really appreciated your session at the conference yesterday on 5 of the things that made the difference with your program. It was probably my favorite session of the conference! Very practical advice and tips. Hope to stay connected! Charles

One of the most insightful webinars about partner strategy I've ever seen. Thanks for such a great content! J.A.

“Subject: Two Words: ROCK STAR!”

Thank you again for the fantastic job you did for us. I talked with our CEO afterwards and he was very, very pleased and even told the group after you left what a great job you did delivering what we asked to help us frame the day as we headed into next year's planning.

He also pointed out the contrast of your presentation and partnership with us vs. the presenter from the day before who very much missed the mark. Both are huge compliments from Tom, he is genuine and generous when he gives praise but only does it when truly warranted.

Many people also cited your presentation among the things they appreciated the most about the conference. This is a tough audience given the mix of backgrounds (super technical to non technical depending on role) and they are much sharper than the average leader (we don't continue to outperform competitors due to luck!). Not an easy achievement... well done!

If you could, please send me your supervisor's contact info. Our SVP wants to send them a note recapping the above and expressing our gratitude. And if you ever need a reference for someone hiring you as a speaker, have them give me a ring.”
