I recently attended Ford’s workshop, “Marketing Plans and Competitive Strategies”, and found the material he presented extremely valuable. So valuable, that I decided to stay an extra day to attend his workshop on E-Commerce. I don’t have any specific responsibilities for E-Commerce, but I just had to hear what he had to say on the subject. Eye opening to say the least! These were probably the best 3 days of workshops I have ever attended. I highly recommend it to anyone in business.

Ford Saeks did a great job for us. Our audience of sales reps is hard to please, and he kept their attention with a very enjoyable fast-paced and fresh presentation. In addition, he was very flexible on site, as we also had to go to plan B for a session right after his, and Ford was more than willing to help us out in time of need. I would definitely hire Ford again.

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful job you did for NSA/NT. It was the best session I have been to in my ten years of NSA membership including six conventions, several workshops, and countless monthly meetings. On rare occasion, I send someone what I call 'The True Gentleman Award.' It is a quote from around the turn of the century that to me captures those rare individual qualities you possess that we see all too seldom.
