“Your presentation on ‘Seven Steps to Small Business Marketing Success’ was a big hit with the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce.  Your program had a lot of basic information on marketing that provided great value to our members.  You were informative, energetic and entertaining!”  –LIZ COLLINS, President, Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce

“Jeff did an outstanding job of presenting at our Small Business Workshop!  He provided an excellent overview of the ‘Seven Steps to Small Business Marketing Success.’  Our attendees ‘picked up’ many unique marketing ideas to incorporate into their business.  The attendees, also, really liked Jeff’s interactive presentation style.  If you are in need of an excellent speaker for a Workshop or Seminar, I highly recommend that you work with Jeff!” – KEVIN SHEA, Training Manager, MAC Specialist

I had the pleasure of hearing Jeff’s Duct Tape Marketing presentation recently. It was a very energetic, practical, thoughtful and fun presentation. Jeff is a great cheerleader and coach. I would recommend his dynamic program to those who are looking for practical solutions on finding and maintaining your competitive edge.” –CLAIRE DITTRICH, Senior Account Executive, Kintera

“Thank you for your recent presentation to the Lombard Chamber of Commerce on the Duct Tape Marketing technique.  Your focus on the seven key points in the system, and how each one is important in creating a marketing plan was beneficial to our members.  Your “survey” questions that you asked at the beginning of the program grabbed everyone’s attention, and all ears were on you!  Your program was well received by our members, and many of them went away with a renewed plan for their business.” –YVONNE INVERGO, Executive Director, Lombard Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry

“Jeff used several fun and stimulating exercises that forced us to look at ourselves, to evaluate or find these qualities that may have been stifled. Not only did Jeff give a good presentation; he was informative, at ease with the group and encouraged their participation and questions. In addition, he was able to relate several of his ‘Life Experiences,’ which had a lot in common with our group.  Therefore, I would highly recommend Jeff Bishop to any organization considering him as a speaker and I would also like to bring him back next year, as we tend to ‘repeat’ some of the better speakers/topics.” –JIM PACHOLSKI, McHenry County Job Training

“I wanted to take the time to thank you for speaking at our Huntley Chamber of Commerce Membership meeting this month. You did a GREAT job! The members are still talking about your presentation.  You have a very professional presentation. I think you had the attention of everyone in the audience. I’m sure many of us will benefit from the topics you presented.” –KIM WENTZEL, Huntley Chamber of Commerce

“The members of Executive Network Group of Evanston and I are most grateful for your presentation “Finding your Goals” to the group. You bring home the point one needs to find his internal compass rather than doing what one is expected to do.” –KARL RANDALL, Executive Director, Executive Networking Group of Chicago

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for an absolutely outstanding presentation last week to the Aurora University Sales Institute. Jeff, not only are you a great presenter, you are also an excellent facilitator. The level of depth and honest dialogue that was accomplished in your session is uncommon. You helped the 70 sales professionals understand the power of being real with a buyer.  Additionally, you provided some excellent ideas for all of us to demonstrate ways to address the deeper needs our buyers have but don’t always want to share. It is very clear to me that you can help any organization be more profitable. Thank you immensely for sharing your time and expertise with the participants of the AU Sales Institute.” –SHAWN GREEN, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Marketing & Director, Aurora University Sales Institute

“I would like to express my appreciation for the stimulating presentation you made to our group. Your topic, ‘Getting Employers—And Those Who Know Employers—to Know, Like, Trust And…Contact You’ struck a chord among the attendees because so many job seekers have difficulties in getting responses from HR or hiring managers. Your proactive approach consisting of challenging various members of the audience to participate in the conversation and creating a very positive dialogue among them made it easy for them to remember the very practical advice contained in your presentation. The Employment Council members appreciated the three-page handout that you distributed at the end of the session to serve as an easy-to-consult summary afterward. The best measure of the success of your talk was the number of people who flocked around you at the end of the session with additional questions and wouldn’t let you go home.” –MICHEL K. CADE, Facilitator, St. Chrysostom’s Employment Council

“When I attend seminars and workshops, some of the subject matter can be repetitive form speaker to speaker, but your presentation is fresh.  First of all there is an energy you bring which engages the audience.  I think with the feedback the audience gets on a positive wave length and creates a feel good atmosphere.  Many speakers don’t have this effect.  Some come across as bored, needy, unconfident or let the audience control the direction or let the pity party take over…You bring it to a conversational setting with the audience which encourages all!” –JOHN STEFANIK, Sales Executive
