“A friend at another company told me about the amazing results from just a one-day session you had with their group.  I can’t thank this friend—and YOU—enough!  [We] were all over the place before and I know that every single one of us learned tips we will continually use…. This is going to be a requirement for all new employees.  It’s essential for all of us to sound professional when presenting to clients in order to win them over.”
