Feedback from Jim Harris on 18 Jul 2010 Our broker members had huge untapped opportunity to grow their business from within. (We needed) someone to highlight ideas and action plans that made sense to them, and articulate how they could do it in their own words and own way. Your session very effectively gave members the tools and techniques for relationship/referrals selling as well as maximizing growth through cross and up selling. It was professionally presented, extremely beneficial and worthwhile, as confirmed by the feedback received from everyone. I really appreciated your energy and the well structured key points you presented. As far as both our GM and I are concerned you really nailed it. Jim Harris, Managing Director, BrokerWeb Management Limited

Feedback from John Mitchell - Head of International Sales, Telecom New Zealand International on 21 Jun 2010
Your relationship tool soon showed them they didn’t know their clients as well as they thought and we wanted to add a “human” element into their business relationships. I got exactly what I wanted – you held them captivated, engaged, educated and all took away a different dimension on how to lock in their clients with simple to understand and implement ideas.

Feedback from Jane Avery on 31 May 2010
Bill is such a positive motivator! His talk was entertaining and it was enlightening to hear about some "tricks of the trade" when it comes to gaining referrals. I will certainly be applying some of what he said to my business. Thank you Bill.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Jane and good luck with the sponsorship. Bill

I had the pleasure of attending two of Bill's seminars. Informative, insightful and all with a touch of humour which was appreciated! I would strongly recommend to anyone interested in sales & networking to go see Bill!!

Feedback from Greg Holland on 24 May 2010
I can’t recommend Bill James highly enough His simple yet effective ideas on gaining more referral business are easy to implement and as I have found immediately effective. We have implemented one of Bill’s ideas and created a deliberate procedure that works for me and have found that it’s easy to empower a delighted customer, we just needed to ask. I can say that this system now accounts for at least 1/3 of our business. Greg Holland fine Jewellery

An hour well spent. Some great advice was taken away from the seminar and will definitely be put into practise. I would highly recommend going to any of Bill's seminars.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Melissa. The more practice and time you put into the ideas, the more you will get out of them. Bill

Feedback from Cathy Thomson on 22 May 2010
I thought Bill was great. He had a different approach to a lot of other speakers and he kept you interested and wanting to hear more. Shame it was only an hour - I definitely wanted to hear more. Well done Bill, I enjoyed it immensely and got some good tips from you. Thanks
Response from Bill James: Thanks for the kind words. I love looking at things a little differently to the usual presenters - very satisfying! Good luck. Bill

Very good & enthusiastic interaction with all course participants, useful tips on networking & focusing in on people that will benifit your business rather than wasting time on people who you have nothing in common with.Would recommend the course to others. Thank you.

Feedback from Paul O'Donohue on 20 May 2010
In my opinion Bill would be one of the best speakers in Australasia on his particular topics. He speaks with conviction as he walks the talk and is authentic. We had Bill present “Creating Centres of Influence that Feed You Money” . Bill is a professional that gets the audience attention with the right mix of entertainment, humour, content, interaction and roll playing. Bill provides value; the information is rich with practical gems that can be used immediately to create future revenue. I would highly recommend using Bill.

Feedback from John Stewart, GM, First National Group NZ Ltd on 19 May 2010
Your remonstration that our people grant themselves permission to try and fail but not give up touched all present with great reflection in the days since you opened our eyes! The greatest step forward came when each person looked in their mirror, recognised the person they are and how to build their business around that and those they would best and truthfully relate to. Many come from the 1980s training where "one liners" and contrived questions and answers prevailed, people have become used to trying to be what the texts presented rather than themselves. You will see a review in approach from a very large group of our staff in the weeks to come. Cheers and thanks so much

Feedback from Richie Wellsbury on 18 May 2010
Bill James recently provided two well attended and well received seminars (Sales for Non Sales People and Discover the Goldmine at Network Events) through the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce and also a workshop regarding referral techniques. Bill is very passionate and speaks from experience which is paramount to those in attendance as he engages and relates well to the audience. His presentations were well thought out and delivered enthusiastically by a determined individual.

Feedback from David Holl on 06 May 2010
A well delivered session with good inter relation between yourself and clients. Particularly good for finding new business. At our conference(Exceed) you came on the second day after Allie Mooney so I think that by the afternoon most people were a bit weary. (not your fault)
Response from Bill James: Thanks David. It was a long day but glad to hear it was worthwhile.

Feedback from Shane Neil on 05 May 2010
I found BJ to be a good guy to spend the day listening too, did not feel like tuning out to what he was saying as is often the case after 2 days of presenters, felt what was acheived with BJ was just the tip of the iceberg and we as a group and individuals could learn much more from this man. Also as BJ gets to know us (exceed franchise owners) and how we operate out there in the business world. Would be willing to spend my dollars having BJ return in the future. Well done.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Shane. I don't get many that say they would put their hands in their own pockets to get me back so that is praise indeed! Good luck applying the ideas. Bill

Feedback from Robert Hammerton (Exceed Maintenance) on 05 May 2010
A talk from a salesman to service people on selling & networking sounded just what I wanted to sit through (NOT). I enjoyed the day & came away with several idea's that I mean to keep trying.
Response from Bill James: Thank you Robert. i appreciate that you came enyway and for having the openess to give the ideas a go. You make your own success - good luck with the ideas and feel free to contact me if you need any fine tuning. Bill

Feedback from Wayne Strong on 05 May 2010
This is only the second time I have heard Bill speak, (not lterally of course, I'm sure he speaks every day, but in a professional setting I mean...) and I am just as impressed as the first time. Everything he says makes sense and is sure to help with growing my business.
Response from Bill James: A glutton for punishment Wayne. It is good to know i can role out reletive info on numerous occassions, it keeps me fresh and sane. Thanks for the kind words.

Feedback from Karin Hulme on 03 May 2010
Hi Bill, I listened to you at Portafino last Tuesday and was very impressed with what you had to say. I am happy to be kept in the loop when you send out news letters. Kind regards Karin Hulme
Response from Bill James: That's praise indeed. Thank you for the kind words.
-
Feedback from Robert Wooler on 03 May 2010
I found the presentation extremely beneficial and rate it very highly in comparison to other similar events I have attended. This is for a very specific reason and that is that I came away with several totally practical skills that I can use (and already have) to get the most out of my referrals and prospecting.
Response from Bill James: Thank you for that very positive endorsement and I love hearing that you are already using the ideas.
-
Feedback from Bryce Coulter on 30 Apr 2010

Feedback from David Gibbs on 29 Apr 2010
Very entertaining and thought provoking breakfast talk at the Pakuranga Country Club. Worth getting up early for. Plenty of ideas and strategies delivered with humour and great psychology! It was also good fun seeing him subtly putting into practice the lessons he was seeking to impart to his listeners.
Response from Bill James: Well spotted and glad to know I can be subtle. I guess I believe you have to practice what you preach. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Feedback from David Moody - on 02 Mar 2010
Bill invited me to one of his Training Sessions (about increasing referrals), while I was in the role of Business Development Manager at BBI. I found Bill's training highly effective (Yes, I used his techniques myself and found they worked!) and presented in an engaging manner that kept us all focused through the entire presentation. Highly recommended.

Feedback from Chris Wright...we sell houses on 09 Feb 2010
Bill James...Who the heck is he. Bill floored us all with his humour and with what he had to say on Refferals. As a crowd we were stone cold when Bill started. However we sooned warmed up and by the end of Bill's 1 hour or more talk, he had as all eating out of his hand. It was pure magic. Bill went from who the heck is he, to let's re-book him again and again thoughout 2009. Being New Plymouth based, as soon as I heard he was on again with our company in Auckland I told Hamish Turner...Look at his feedback.... 7 feedbacks down....this was one man worthy of a 4-5 hour car drive one way to go listen too...if you are unsure if you should book Bill James for your next meeting...just do it...or phone me on: 027 2222800
Response from Bill James: WOW! Now that is the sort of feedback that's good for the soul! Thanks Chris. Looking forward to coming down to the Taranaki!

Feedback from Ross Higgins on 02 Feb 2010
Bill is a very easy to listen too. He comes across well as I enjoyed his key points combined with humour, which maintains my interest. I would recommend Bill to those looking for a motivational speaker.

Feedback from Brett Hare on 02 Feb 2010
The thing i liked the most about working with Bill was that he didnt try to start from scratch but he was happy to take what the team already does well and just take it to that next level and give us the tools to be able to structure things better. Very enjoyable
Response from Bill James: Thanks Brett. You have a great team there and I think 2010 will be as good as 2009. Good luck with the contact in Bulls.

Feedback from Jenna Robinson on 10 Dec 2009
Bill made himself available at reasonably short notice. It was encouraging to get someone else's opinion on my train of thought. I have a few hoops to jump through yet, but I'm well on the way to my first stepping stone in the housing market and I'm looking forward to making my mark on it. Thanks for all your assistance, and the information you provided in the seminar and our 1 hour session. The housing market was very foreign to me, and the information sources and organisations you recommended allowed me to make a more informed and confident decision. Have a fantastic Christmas break, and I'll see you at the next round of seminars on Base.

Response from Bill James: Thanks Lesley. It has been a pleasure having you there. Bill

Feedback from Hamish Turner on 23 Oct 2009
Hi Bill, Overdue feedback from your talk at RE/MAX on above date. I found the talk to be very informative but more to the point the delivery reached my ears so to speak which sometimes tends to be a problem when I attend talks. Ask for business from current clients who would have thought to do that? I certainly had not I have been doing that since the talk and I can ear mark 4 properties that I have taken on since at a rough asset cost of $2500 a piece and approx $1200 worth of income per year per property per annum. In ten years I have never asked a client if they know of anyone or if they had other properties again who would have thought!! Thanks and regards, Hamish Turner Property Manager
Response from Bill James: Thanks Hamish. A pleasure to have been of service!

Feedback from Jennifer Boyes- Intermediary Communications on 07 Oct 2009
Hearing Bill talk about the power of the referral really gave me the encouragement I needed to get out there and start generating new business. Through asking one person whether she had any contacts that might be interested in public reltions, I picked up two big clients. Thanks Bill!
Response from Bill James: Thanks Jennifer - although it comes as no surprise that you work with my ideas so well. You have the drive to make it all happen so well done and thanks again. Bill

Feedback from Naveed Balouch on 10 Sep 2009
I first was introduced to Bill James when I attended his seminar on how to optimise the ubiquitous networking opportunity in May 2009. Bill's workshop on the subject was hugely informative, enlightening and enjoyable. Whats more, I have stayed in touch with Bill since that time, and am fast becoming a skilled practictioner of the methodology Bill has preached, using the tools and skills to great effect. I now am able to acquire 2-3 leads and referrals from every substantial 1:1 interaction at any gathering without necessarily `talking shop'. Thank you Bill.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Naveed. It is satisfying for me to see someone using and getting results. I am confident you will succeed soon - if you have not already!

Feedback from John Packham on 25 Aug 2009
First heard Bill as keynote speaker at BNI 10th Birthday Conference in May 2009. Was blown away with his excellent and amusing presentation on networking. In June he presented at the NZ Institute of Chartered Acountants Special Interest Group. I then arranged for him to present at my offices in August. He gave an excellent presentation covering matters relevant to our business and processes. His style is to work interactively with people which creates create outcomes. He follows up his presentation with well prepared working notes. I thoroughly recommend Bill's services to help your company become inspired

Feedback from Clare Feeney on 19 Jul 2009
Bill lives his ideals - his workshop on the value of professional relationships was infused with goodwill and unbeatable business sense. His natural generosity comes from a genuine interest in people and their wellbeing, and his clients and colleagues are very lucky indeed to know him. A wonderful workshop!

Feedback from Mike Saunders on 16 Jul 2009

Feedback from Vicky Kennedy on 02 Jul 2009
I have heard many speakers in my time, but Bill rolled them all into one! The most humourous, well presented, 'get-the-point-across' delivery I have encountered. Can't wait to hear you next time Bill!
Response from Bill James: WOW! I know many speakers who would kill for such compliments. Thank you - I try hard to deliver every time and it is great to know when I get it right.

Feedback from Jeff Peters on 11 Jun 2009
We were invited to a breakfast meeting to listen to Bill, but no-one told me I'd be so enthralled that I'd practically have no recollection of what I'd eaten! Thanks for the wide ranging, informative, and in many instances, one-on-one! coaching we received during your presentation. It gave us a real buzz for the morning which still continues now.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Jeff, the whole group was great to talk to and I enjoyed adding value to your morning. Glad you got a lot out of it.

Feedback from Roger Masters on 02 Jun 2009
Your key note presentation, at our BNI Breakfast, on getting the most out of Networking Events was inspiring and truly motivating. I came away refreshed and ready for action - even though it was only last Thursday I have already gained 12 more valuable contacts but more importantly won an order - a small one but maybe but I know there's another one just around the corner.

Feedback from Paul Meyer on 02 Jun 2009
Thanks Bill enjoyed your key note speech at BNI's 10th Birthday Celebrations in Auckland on 29th May. Couple of points that stood out to me from you regarding networking: 1) Go early and leave late 2) Target the people you want to talk with 3) Talk to the people who need you NOW! Well done you kept a room of referral networkers attention through out your presentation. Regards Paul Author http://www.thenakedcareer.net

Feedback from Stuart Fleming on 02 Jun 2009
Managing to hold your audience's attention and get your key points across at 7.30am in a noisy and full-of-distractions cafe is an impressive outcome Bill! Thanks for sharing your 'referrals' insights and experience in such a jovial yet detail-packed way.
Response from Bill James: I figure that if you are game enough to get out of bed that early the least I can do is give you a few good ideas to take away. Glad you enjoyed them.

Feedback from Jeff Bracegirdle on 16 May 2009
I was fortunate enough to hear Bill speak at the RE/MAX sales rallies in Wellinton and Auckland this year. After the first rally I told everyone I could what a "find" Bill was. After the second rally I just knew that he gets better and better every time. I can't believe we have access to such a high level presenter in our local community. Thanks Bill for the inspiration to take my career to the next stage and the courage to recognise what I really need to do so.
Response from Bill James: I appreciate this from such a high performer as yourself Jeff. I hope 2009 and 2010 will be as successful for you. Many thanks.

Feedback from Frank Heath on 06 May 2009
I attended a presentation recently in which you provided feedback to real estate people in Auckland. I found your style very relaxed and invigorating.Got me thinking again Bill! I quickly realized the depth of experience you must have and how that can be applied across all businesses. I recommend anyone who is seeking ways to enlighten and motivate 'jaded' staff with new energy, new ideas and possibilities in their business to invest in your services. Thanks for a great memorable session. Frank Heath
Response from Bill James: There certainly is a lot of knowledge that can go "across businesses" and the key is a bit of lateral thinking. Thanks for the kind words.

Feedback from Lloyd Kirby on 24 Apr 2009
Thanks for kicking off our first client breakfast and giving everyone present something to help them grow their business, maintain good margins and help create some peace of mind around the coming year. Everyone I spoke to told me they gained real value from your presentation and you ticked all the boxes as far as I am concerned. It was a very funny presentation and everyone left feeling good. You educated our team and cemented our relationships with our clients, giving them a real incentive to come to more of our events. Any association would benefit from your speaking, not only for the benefit of their own staff, but also as a valuable PR and “value add” exercise for their clients. Thanks once again.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Lloyd. It was a great crowd and an enjoyable experience with lots of enthusiasm and interest. A pleasure to deliver.

Bill, I hadn't heard of you before. What company have I been mixing in??? You were captivating. I was very happy to watch and listen, it was a package. Great content and you connected.

You made it look simple. Thank you.

Feedback from David Banfield on 03 Mar 2009
Bill was a contributor at our recent franchisee meeting. I use the word contributor rather than speaker because that was how it turned out. We were impressed with the time that Bill took to understand our business and what we perceived to be our 'special needs'. By researching those needs he was able to craft a contribution that was helpful and relevant for all of the group. We all gained from his experience and background and we will certainly be following up with him over the weeks ahead. David Banfield The Interface Financial Group
Response from Bill James: Hi Dave, Only just saw this one on the site so sorry for the delay in responding. Glad to have given you some good tools. Bill

Feedback from Derrick Abbott on 26 Jan 2009
Just to say many thanks for the invaluable contribution to our company training session a few weeks ago. We definitely needed a way of unifying the administration staff with the sales team and focus on the sale in all forms, from telephone contact right through to after sales service a collective focus on the clients with both teams working together. From the sales teams point of view you reinforced existing ideas and added valuable skills, especially in the area of new business generation. For the in-house team you generated a real sense of sales purpose and I especially liked the aspect of Brand Guardianship that you used. They not only left with a greater sense of the importance of sales but also their role in them.
Response from Bill James: Derrick, your team was a pleasure to work with and you must be very proud of the growth you are experiencing and the effort they all put in. The more synergy your team has the stronger you become. Good luck for 2009

Feedback from John Faisandier on 19 Jan 2009
Bill's ideas were presented in a lively and engaging way. I have taken a couple of very simple and do-able things from the session and put them into practice already. This has made a difference to my own approach to my business as I begin a new year.I love this practical advice that Bill has learnt on the road and shares so well.
Response from Bill James: Thanks John. I love hearing that people have tried an idea or two and that they are working. That is truly the secret - give it a go!!!!

Feedback from Donna Vincent on 08 Jan 2009
We have been struggling to get some new growth into our business and feel that we have to strongly increase our market share, especially with the tough times coming on us. We invested in two hours of one on one time with you and the flow of amazing and useful information was immediate. There were so many ah ha moments we lost count. All the ideas were simple and we have sat down and started to implement. A huge benefit is that they cost so little put in place but are going to have maximum impact. Your delivery was so good we just sat down and absorbed everything. I am very happy indeed. Any small to medium business who thinks they need a boost should put some time with you and get ideas specific to their business.
Response from Bill James: It was great to spend the time with you and your team. looking forward to hearing about the great results. Cheers.

Feedback from Paul McGowan on 07 Dec 2008
I attended the AAPNZ breakfast six months ago and what a pleasant surprise I got. Bill was the key-note speaker, which turned out to be a real bonus. He held my complete attention! Bill gave me some brilliant networking techniques and I have been making them pay ever since. I think his idea on selective networking was a real winner and I now know how to make that first impression and leave a lasting favourable one at the other end. Bill's ability to create business, and his way of showing others how to, is something any serious small business can benefit from. He certainly has the gift of showing others how to use their time better with more result at a social and business level.
Response from Bill James: Thanks Paul. You are a true advocate and absolutely practice what I preach. It is a pleasure to have you in my corner.

Feedback from Jeff Brass on 04 Nov 2008
It‘s been over two years since I completed the referral study group and the biggest change became very obvious when I looked at my income last month – three times the amount it was before I did the study group! I think the most valuable tool I have gained is the ability to direct a proven referral process and target the right clients. I don’t just have better clients (that continually use and refer me) but I have clients that suit my business. My results are consistent because I have built a network of high quality core customers who appreciate my work and are happy to pay a good price for a quality product. This has to be something that any serious business owner or manager would have to want for their business!
Response from Bill James: WOW! Great recommendation Jeff. It is just brilliant to see the difference referrals and networking have made to your business. I bet you are enjoying the feeling of control you have over your business now. keep it up buddy!

I first saw Bill's material on reducing debt and investing some years ago and have always remembered his advice and personal accounts that back up his teachings.

Bill was able to give me a good run down on property investment strategies, and sound advice as to where an appropriate entry point and time would be for someone in my position. Very worthwhile!

An excellent engaging speaker who walks the talk! The techniques he teaches are practical and easy to implement - but better than that - they generate business for me! Thank you Bill. Please keep me up to date on when you are speaking next on Referral marketing. http://www.WebDoctor.co.nz

I think that everyone in the room learnt something new. The fact that he could keep the attention while talking about debt, financing and refinancing etc. proves that his delivery is as excellent as the content is useful.

Bill showed me that with planning, your money can work for you, there is no need to be in debt.The best thing about the seminars is that Bill teaches you only what you need to know and does it in an easy to follow and humorous way. Bill genuinely cares about your success and guided us through the whole process of putting our financial plan into action, he took time out to contact us and make sure that we were on track and unselfishly made him self available for any questions that we had.

What I really liked about working with Bill was his ability to work 'on the fly' - he spent the morning observing the Advisers and listened to them sharing what they are currently doing well & then was able to reach into his 'bag of tricks' (training material & experience as an Adviser) and deliver a relevant, motivating messages that every New Adviser was able to grab onto & run with. I look forward to working with Bill in 2007

I would love to take this opportunity to give the biggest THANKS EVER in the world to Bill James for his many phone calls of support and help in my time of need. I needed to sell my home for personal reasons and in a hurry. I called for help, not only did he find interested purchasers, but gave me consistant support from afar, in his own time and at his own expense. Due to his constant help, I did financially alot better than I would have expected, THANKS A MILLION, you are a STAR :):):)

Absolutely fabulous guy - easy to talk with, gives sound, usable, practical advice. Bill cuts to the chase, and putting it simply - doesn't tell you rubbish (No b.s!!). Highly recommend, and will be coming back to see him after we have done our world trip to set in place a budget to purchase a house.

I have only praise for Bill and the way in which he does business. With a no-nonsence aproach and is an oracle of information, advice, contacts and makes superb referals. He has personally refered me to ALL of the key personnel that have made my first NZ property purchase become a reality and with little fuss and, he even calls you back to see how things are going. I have already recommended Bill to others and would do so again without any hesitation. Thanks Bill, the future is looking good.
