Suzanne and Henry were brought in by the Board of Directors of one of
our corporate clients to try to salvage a situation of downward spiraling
profits amid life or death requests to me for larger credit lines. Together
they brought a synergy of marketing expertise, financial control and most
important of all, a way with people that coalesced employee energy and
effected a most remarkable turn around. In less than three years a pattern
of losses was reversed, and today this Companys yearly profit is over 50%
of the appraised share value (at which some lucky investors got in)
eighteen months before!
I use this Companys numbers in a commercial lending course I facilitate
and as a case study in how to do it right.

I personally and on behalf of AOC [Asahi Optical Corporation] top
management, wish to express our sincere thanks to you for your long hard
work and the continuous, very conscientious service you have given to this
organization.
Takuo Jojiki, President
Pentax Canada Inc.
Your approach, as usual, demonstrates a full analysis of the product, its
features and application. More importantly, what you have established is
the interface at which the product meets the market place.
Working backwards from that point, complete briefing of your
salesmen, the overcoming of objections etc., is an excellent demonstration
of the way to analyse a product problem and resolve the sales situation to
ensure that an acceptable sales level is achieved.
Gerald A. Dingley, Managing Director
Pentax U.K. Ltd.
Just a note to congratulate you for your performance in SME-II this
year. Your overall grade is 82%, a first class result.
Too often one hears only negative things and what is not done. Well I
thought I would try to reverse this human tendency and give you a well
deserved pat on the back.
