"Having worked with your bureau in the past, when you told us that Dan Kuester would be a perfect speaker for our Chamber Banquet, we were confident in booking him for our 2016 event. I must say you were spot on! Our audience members were very impressed with Dan! He made us laugh….which was an important ingredient in what we were looking for in a speaker….yet he delivered a message that was exceptional! Many of the guests were still talking about his entertaining message long after the banquet had ended. Thanks again for providing us with such a perfect match!"
~Pam Winer, President Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce

"Dan Kuester did a customer service training seminar for County Fair Food of Watertown, SD. He did a SUPER job and all of our associates took something away to help them improve on our over all operation of our store. The seminar was very high energy and he made sure to involve each and everyone of our associates in different scenerios. As a retailer myself, I am very excited to see this program offered. We all have to face issues in our store in hiring the right people, in the right position with good attitudes and I feel this seminar gives you and the associates this tool. If you are not participating in these seminars you are missing out on an incredible opportunity to help improve your store operation."
~Jeff Gamber, County Fair Foods, Watertown, SD

"I just wanted to let you know that I thought you did an awesome job in doing the presentation at Ric's in Rockford a couple weeks ago! I have been to a few presentations in my life and I have been bored at all of them. You made it seem like an hour instead of the two. I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know you are right were you should be in your career!"
~Candi Macgrayne, Cashier at Ric's, Rockford, MI
