“It is my pleasure to have worked with Craig Leaney for the past couple of years, and I always find him professional, thought-provoking, encouraging and accommodating. Craig’s presentation abilities are excellent and he has finely tuned interpersonal skills, which makes him a (positive) force to be reckoned with. A highly motivated sales and customer relationship trainer, Craig cleverly draws from the extensive experience he has nurtured through business relationships. I know he has made a noticeable difference to the customer attraction and retention skills of our company, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.”  Kristy Sheppard, Senior Corporate Affairs Manager, Mortgage Choice , December 22, 2009

“Craig is a brilliant speaker and communicator. There's plenty of 'experts' out there, promising the world but delivering little. In just one evening,Craig facilitated countless strategic alliances, taught his audience several valuable lessons and managed to make the event fun and entertaining. For me, this was one of the best networking and professional development events I'd attended in a long time and I immediately recommended his services - as a speaker and trainer - to several other organisations I'm involved in. Hooray for Craig!”
Jillian Kingsford Smith, Director, FutureBuzz , October 28, 2009

Business Brokers Queensland “Craig, we have been working with you and your team to develop our sales and marketing strategies for nearly 12 months now and we thought it was time to stop and celebrate the wins! Our referrals have increased 280% and we now generate 85% of total commission revenue from Referrals. Having implemented your training and strategies, our newly achieved 80% success rate also means that 80% of our clients are now testimonials and referrers and we are following all of these up with a systemized testimonial program as well. Seller enquiries reached over 140 last quarter, levels we haven’t seen since March 08 quarter. I am attributing it to our seminars, testimonials, acknowledgements and overall focus on referrals. We track generic Yellow pages enquiries for Business Brokers and it is at record low levels still so there is now some evidence to indicate we are gaining significant market share as well! Thank you for all your hard work, energy and enthusiasm. The interactions we get after your keynote presentations continues to generate positive activity well after the event itself and we have only ever had positive feedback from our strategic partners that attended each session and I am looking forward to an extended series of seminars with you in 2010.”
Shane Dingley, Managing Director

"I would like to personally thank you for your training last week.  It has already had a direct impact on the motivation of our team in creating a positive approach towards building new business.  It has also created a real hunger for success in seeing how easy the sales process can be. The office here had a “hum” about it that I haven’t seen for a long time.  Everyone was hands on with making calls to inactive clients and very eager to do so.  It is very obvious in the degree of change that we take with our call process now.  Where we were stumbling and finding it hard to continue the conversation after hitting continual walls, we are now seeing calls converting into at least a 15 minute call time.  We are finding the prospective clients are virtually laying their cards on the table in the first call in obtaining a full data collect, which would have once taken us a number of calls and meetings to get to the same stage. Again, I can’t thank you enough!"
Donna Picton, Investment Adviser, Authorised Representative, Branch Manager, Elston Partners

“Holy Cow! If you consider yourself a professional, then you must be keeping up to date with the trends in your industry right? Well, if you havn't done Craig's sales training, you are doing yourself a great injustice. If you think you've done it all before, well maybe you have, but Craig will bring it all back to basics.....then tweak it. It's like perfecting a basic recipe and adding a few core ingredients for a wow factor. Trust me. This training is excellent value for money. I can not recommend Craig enough. He is man of great integrity and wisdom. I value any time I have with him.”
Barbara Clifford, Networking Coordinator, Tall Trees , February 24, 2010
