Jeff is brilliant, and we have hired him to continue speaking at our events next year!" – Lindsay Fierro, Senior Vice President, NAI Global, New York, NY
"The toughest spot at any conference is the 'closer' - the last speaker before you adjourn and head back to reality. That key slot at our annual conference fell to Jeff Beals.

Our survey results after the meeting had 90% of the respondents marking the program as 'excellent' with the other 10% as 'good.' Jeff was our best-scoring program in years!" - Wayne Teig, Board Member, International Facilities Management Association, Minneapolis, MN

He energized our members and gave them numerous ideas to help them do more business." - Bridget Lynch, Director of Member Services, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce
