THANKS!
Should present at all Chamber Councils and BNI groups
I personally enjoyed your presentation and it was a good refresher for me.
Thanks for providing such an informative breakfast Thursday. I enjoyed listening to your ideas and
feel they will help me to become a better at networking. I have already met some new people and
hope to continue to create strong relationships with many.
It was great to hear you speak at the meeting today. I always learn something from you and
appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. It will be a pleasure to refer to your business
when I have the opportunity.

COACHING FEEDBACK:
In a Letter:
Please consider this document as an endorsement and testimonial of the services provided to me by Ben Cairns.
On June 20 of 2005 I left my job as a pharmaceutical sales representative for various reasons and began to pursue
career opportunities in the medical sales arena. This profession is notorious for its difficulty in breaking into. After a
couple of ineffective interviews in which I was not offered employment, I sought Ben’s services bases on a referral from
a friend.
Once Ben counseled me through the anger, embarrassment and resentment of being with a company that had been poorly
matched to my personality, he began the coaching process that allowed me to leave all of that baggage and the door and
begin to interview effectively, very effectively. I began to get call backs for second and third interviews and ultimately
landed the career in medical sales that had seemed so far out of reach just a few months ago.
I can recommend the services of Ben Cairns without hesitation or trepidation. If you are having a problem coming to
grips with a job loss or landing the career that you have been dreaming of, your time will be vastly rewarded with Ben.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions regarding Ben’s effectiveness or qualifications. I
consider my time with him as one of my greatest professional investments.
Sincerely,

In an email:
The sessions I’ve had with you have changed my life. I have seen a tremendous change in my dealings with
others, and attribute that change to the change in me.
Unexpected comment from the friend of a coaching client:
Whatever you did with him is incredible. I can tell that he’s back on the right track. I know you can’t tell me
what you talked about, but I’d love to know how you do it.
In an email:
I have been employed in sales for over 15 years and understand that communicating in the style to the buyer
is critical to close sales. Fortunately, I have worked with Ben to refine my ability to read and relate to a
prospect’s style quickly. Ben’s methodology allows individuals and organizations to master this skill quickly
and consistently. If you or your organization wants to close more business and increase conversion rates, I
would encourage to you call Ben to learn about his system.
