Sales and customer experience testimonials

I had the absolute pleasure of recommending and contracting Amanda to present at a valued client's recent conference. Over 70% rated Amanda and her presentation as ‘Absolutely Fantastic’, with the remaining rating her as ‘Great’. Both the delegation and the client were so impressed with Amanda's presentation that she was the hot topic at every table at the dinner the following evening! I would have no hesitation in recommending or contracting Amanda for future clients.

You made such a difference. I spent most of this week out visiting the branches. Wow, it’s catching on! Everyone is using the tools you gave them. I make financial decisions every day about how to use our budget wisely. You were the best investment we have made yet. We will earn ‘dividends’ for a long time.

You will recall that at the Business Managers conference in the beginning of the year as part of the change mindset objectives was to have the Business Managers sell more of the Insurance products. It is pleasing to note that your presentation had a major impact on the improvement and growth in Insurance sales this year. For the 1st quarter compared to the same period last year our Insurance income is up 36%, which is very pleasing particularly in a mature market. We are also pleased to let you all know that we have just had a record month for Ancillary Insurance sales. For the first time ever, we have surpassed 1000 ancillary policies in a single month. May has just recorded 1047 new ancillary units!

Yes, it’s sometimes tough measuring ROI on attitude and behavior. Please feel free to have any client call me and I’ll be glad to talk with them regarding the impact that you had on us. There are many things that we still embrace of yours. Our employees seemed to (and continue to) take life a bit easier, not stress so much and enjoy their jobs.

Amanda Gore is without question the best investment our organisation has made in the last few years, and her message helped connect all attendees with the vision of our hospital. She has an inherent ability to reach a wide variety of people, and this has had a profound impact on the culture of our hospital. We literally had employees wanting to attend her session on all three available days, as many of them said that Amanda’s session was the best thing they had ever attended.

We hired Amanda to help us support a client who was going through a major transformational change program, with the complex brief of offering some perspectives on leadership, a discussion of successful teaming, and giving the program teams some effective tools for managing the fear of change and stresses of implementing a major program. Anyone who has seen video clips of Amanda on YouTube knows the energy, humor and deep subject matter expertise that she brings to her engagements. What you don't see is the time and effort she puts into understanding the audience, the key points that we wanted to communicate and the quick understanding of the company and program structure and culture. Many speakers make the mistake of being entertaining at the expense of educating and providing content, or of being content rich but dull and unmemorable. Amanda delivers simple, practical techniques for improving team and organizational performance, managing our personal lives, health and relationships. More importantly she does this in a way that is entertaining and memorable. I find myself using techniques I first heard about when I saw her present 7 years ago. More importantly the survey feedback on the event was overwhelmingly positive, with 75% of folks saying that they would make changes to their personal and work lives based on the session. I also received several personal thank you's from individuals who felt profoundly impacted. There was one 'foofer'. If you truly want to change your culture and team dynamic, hire Amanda.

Meeting planners have to ask themselves if the speaker that they are looking to hire is worth what they paid. I am here to tell any meeting planner who wants to know, the answer is YES. Amanda is worth every penny and about $60,000 more! I have hired speakers who charge $40,000 and more and they did not leave the audience with a fraction of what Amanda did.

Amanda recently spoke at our National sales conference to around 20 of the sales team. After just a few short discussions Amanda was quick to get a great picture of our business and team and what we were looking for from her. Amanda got our conference off to a great start which carried through for the full three days and most importantly she left the team with some tools and thoughts for them to take away. The group thoroughly enjoyed Amanda's session.

I invited Amanda Gore to speak at the recent sphinxx Ascend development day in Brisbane and my advice to you is to do the same! I first experienced Amanda as an audience participant in the USA where she’s been working for the last decade or so. When I found out she was back in Australia, I just had to secure her to speak at my event. She is insightful, engaging, warm, energetic and inspirational speaker who had everyone on their feet and participating right to the end of her presentation. Her content is very relevant to the senior businesswomen in my network and I received countless positive feedback about her presentation. If you’re contemplating engaging Amanda for your event - stop thinking and just do it. She’s the best investment you’ll make energising and motivating your team.

Amanda provided our business community to remember why they were in business. She delivered and excellent workshop that was 100% on brief with terrific results. All participants not only wanted her to return but also wanted to ensure more staff could attend.

You killed it with us at our Sales Kick Off! You were absolutely right going first up and setting the scene. You managed to hit all the points we wanted brought out that were relevant to Veda and you did it in a really memorable way. Your delivery and energy is tremendous. That's exactly what we wanted to have our people walk away with - great concept, tools to execute and a terminology that we can use to remind people how to keep the momentum going. Super job...more please

Amanda Gore was a keynote speaker at the Bauer Sales Conference. The timing of Amanda's presentation aimed to provide participants with an energetic, thought provoking & fun close to the conference. Amanda delivered across all these objective & more. The conference feedback highlighted Amanda as an absolute favorite in an impressive line up of speakers.

Amanda is an outstanding Key Note Speaker. From the first moment we started conversing to the final goodbye, Amanda was nothing but professional, relational and intentional. She was willing to listen to my event needs, understand the event audience and cared about the outcomes we hoped to achieve for the event. Having worked with a number of speakers, both locally and internationally, this characteristic is quite hard to find, yet, it is imperative to flourishing and successful events. Within the first 10 minutes (possibly 5) she had our 500 women fully engaged. Admittedly we were doing crazy things, but everyone entered in. Lots of laughing and movement in the room. When asked, "What did you think of Amanda Gore", our delegate feedback was 92% with 'right up there with the best I've ever heard' and incredible, I'm still feeling inspired (4 weeks on) Amanda's attention to detail, her initiative and ability to read and discern the audience is vital to a successful event. She did it all so incredibly well. On a personal level, she was a delight to work with and be with. Would we have her back again? For sure and for certain!! :)
