TESTIMONIALS
“Gene Marks was a ball of energy and
filled with great bits of information for
our group to take back to their businesses.
He did an amazing job of talking in detail
about both presidential candidates and
their proposals without ever giving away
his personal political leaning. We are a very
diverse group and while not talking about
the impact of our elections on our economy
would be neglectful, it is a very delicate
balancing act. Gene performed it perfectly.
He was very clear and specific without being biased. He also gave very specific suggestions on how our members can improve
their business. Our group has heard a lot of
speakers and can be rather jaded, but Gene
had them on the edge of their seats taking notes! We look forward to having him
speak again very soon!”
­—Susannah Porr, Executive Director, National
Association of Steel Pipe Distributors
“Gene Marks is incredibly insightful when
it comes to the issues small business owners
face. We invite him quite frequently to be
a guest on “Your Business” because not
only does he have a deep knowledge of
the subject, but he’s able to communicate
what he knows in a way that everyone can
understand and relate to.”
­—JJ Ramberg, Host, MSNBC
Gene Marks was exceptional! As our keynote speaker, he was energetic, informative, and entertaining — exactly what are
members needed to hear and what our
organization needed to present! We’re
already talking about having Gene Marks
at other events in the future! He is a surefire hit!
— Ed Shanahan, Manager, Exec. Dir., Dunkin
Donuts Independent Franchise Owners, Inc
Dear Gene, Thank you for an outstanding
presentation during our convention!
Our attendees reported they thoroughly
enjoyed and gained significant insight of
relevance to their business. The myriad of
topics you covered were right on target
for their concerns and interests. On behalf
of all IWPA members, I want to thank you
again for your memorable presentation.
Best Regards, Brent.”
— Brent McClendon, Executive VP
International Wood Products Association
“Gene expertly translated today’s economic
and business trends into every day
language and applications that helped
our members answer the question, “So
what does this mean for me?” It was
a pleasure to work with someone who
showed a genuine interest in our group
and in making sure his presentation was
informative, relevant, and delivered with
a generous dose of humor. He said his
goal was to make sure every person in our
group left with at least one new idea to
help make their business more profitable
in the coming year — and he more than
delivered. I was stopped over and over
again by attendees who said, ‘What a great
speaker.‘”
