Ta-Da’s for Joel Zeff
I wanted to let you know that the feedback from everyone was overwhelmingly positive. I would say that in my 20 year sales career it was perhaps the most enjoyable (and appropriate) presentation I’ve been a part of in a sales meeting. Your competition for that top spot is John Cleese, so you’re in very good company.
I wanted to say thank you on behalf of Convergys and we very much look forward to working together again in the future.
Convergys
I can’t tell you how many people I spoke with throughout the conference that said we “just hit a homerun” with both our keynote speakers this year. People went on about how fun, hysterically funny, entertaining and thought-provoking your keynote was. What a delight to have you there.
We’ll certainly be keeping your materials, and if we (or any of our other respective organizations) have any opportunities to use your services (or recommend you to others) again, we will. Thank you again so much for your wonderful contribution to CETPA this year.

I have never seen such a positive response from any meeting. Actually, I’m now advertising for you with my recap of the event. There has been some fallout, however. Now everyone leaving our bathrooms are yelling “TA DA” in celebration. We’ve posted a hand washing expert outside to make sure that the celebration is actually warranted. And today in a presentation to a group which was composed of many outsiders, I used both the TA DA and “bunny, bunny, bunny”. Our team members were amused; the other team members, bemused. Thanks for the energy and the lift.

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your Keynote “speech” at Baylor Health Care System’s BIS All Employee meeting on June 22.
Everyone was talking about you for days and even weeks after the meeting. We all thought you had a very creative way of teaching us valuable lessons on teamwork through very funny improvisation games.
Your “Ta-Da” and “Bunny, Bunny, Bunny” lasted within the organization after that day. We heard them used in meetings and also in the hallways. In fact, yesterday, “Ta-Da” was used at one of my Project Team Meetings and I also saw a Poster of “Ta-Da” hanging on one of the walls of our office.
I also enjoyed reading your book “Make the Right Choice” and plan to use your practical advice to help me be more successful and happy at work and also outside the workplace.
Thanks again and I hope that we will have the chance to see you again at a future Baylor Health Care System event.

I’ve gotta tell you, you made me look good for selecting you as a presenter, so thank you for a stellar performance. Two of the people who were on stage with you were prospects, so hopefully this experience will push them over to becoming actual clients. I’ll be sure to send your commission check posthaste.

We are very thankful that the details worked out and you were able to speak. We had an awesome time!
Thanks for the ideas for further ways to use your talents -- I’m sure we’ll be in touch!

Thank you so much for a great presentation and memorable close for the conference. You exceeded all of my expectations! And, the feedback that I received from attendees was outstanding.
Finally, you can be certain that we will look for ways that we may be able to use you in the future for other company meetings/events. Again, thank you!
