testimonials

"Patrick did a great job providing a meaty, entertaining presentation filled with no and low-cost actions our members could take immediately to build buzz for their businesses. Many weak speakers use PowerPoint as a crutch. He didn’t use it and doesn’t need it. His keynote generated a slew of requests from members asking me to bring him back for more. I’d hire Patrick again and recommend him to any group looking for a great speaker that can deliver savvy, street-tested marketing practices that produce results."

Mike Scogna
CEO, Executive Officers Club

"Patrick utilized an interesting array of facts, stories and interactive exercises to emphasize his main points.
