Feedback From Previous Presentations:
"Thanks Stuart for your presentation at our 2009 convention. It was extremely well received and the time you spent researching our industry prior to presenting was evident and appreciated by our delegates."

Rennie Schafer
Executive Officer
Self Storage Association of Australasia

"Stuart Ayling was invited to speak at the Centenary & Districts Chamber of Commerce 2009 AGM meeting to educate our members on how to improve their sales results. We weren't disappointed. Stuart provided practical tips and strategies we can all use in our sales conversations with customers.

After many years in sales even I came way with some ideas for improvement! On Wednesday I listened to Stuarts advice and on Friday I applied it with great success.

Personally I found Stuart to be an impassioned, positive, and polished speaker who engages and brings out the most in his audience. I have already recommended Stuart to other Chamber Presidents. Thank you Stuart!"

Beau Jones
President, Centenary & Districts Chamber of Commerce

"Dear Stuart, thank you for your presentation last Friday. The participants were very impressed with your knowledge and presentation style. I was delighted that you were able to show in a very relaxed manner how every business owner can benefit form utilising low cost, easy strategies to promote themselves and their businesses.

Your information was indeed current and relevant to all who attended and I know that everyone went away armed with a "to-do" list which will benefit them immediately.

I look forward to inviting you back to present to our group again in the future."

Warmest Regards

Linda Ward
President, Coffs Harbour Business Swap

"Stuart, thank you for your great presentations on the topics of Online Marketing and Marketing Planning to our delegates at last week’s (July '08) CMAA conference.

It may not have been obvious at the time, but your message did resonate with the delegates and over the following days much comment was made of the quality and positivity of your presentations.

I personally enjoyed meeting with you and having the opportunity to work with you."

Ralph Kober
Club Managers Association Australia

"The main focus of the Country Areas Program conference this year (2008) was cost effective marketing. Stuart Ayling from Marketing Nous soon felt quite at home in our small group and learnt what the obstacles are to educating a group of educators.

He conducted some very informative sessions and did a wonderful job of keeping us on track and imparting the cost effective marketing ideas that will work in our colleges. We all left with challenges - even if it was just to update our websites or blogs."

Lorraine Grierson
Emerald Christian College

"Stuart was engaged by OAMPS Insurance Brokers to assist with refining our sales teams core selling skills.

Stuart took the time to understand both our business as well as our client expectations. His efforts resulted in a valuable educational session at our Regional Sales Conference which has provided us with some core building blocks on which we can build future sales activities."

Scott Denning
OAMPS Insurance Brokers

"Delegates rated Stuart's presentation at the 2007 Independent Schools Queensland State Conference as 'excellent' and 'engaging'.

One delegate stated: 'Stuart's presentation opened my eyes to the practical implications of using survey results in my school marketing. Stuart had obviously done his homework and was humorous, approachable and provided information in easily-understand terms - not jargon. Thank you for a very practical and helpful session.'

ISQ would certainly recommend Stuart to any organisation seeking helpful and practical marketing advice to enable them to differentiate their organisation from competitors."

Carole Williamson
