"Dave Ratner is one of the most entertaining and informative speakers I have ever heard. His no-nonsense, no-notes, extemporaneous delivery made his message very believable and sincere. Dave's marketing ideas hit home through his humor and honesty. His lecture commanded the largest audience with the most post questions and answers. You don't fall asleep with this guy!"

"I wanted to thank you for the excellent job you did as a keynote speaker at Ernex's Customer Loyalty and Electronic Marketing seminar. Although there were a few injuries in the audience from people slapping their foreheads when they recognized a little bit of their business in the painfully amusing customer service examples you highlighted, everyone is OK now. On a serious note, your presentation really drove home the point that good, solid marketing and loyalty focus on not only rewarding customers, but servicing them the way we all would like to be serviced."
Peter Allemang, Vice President Sales Ernex Marketing Technologies, Inc.

"Your 'top ten list' is a 'must have' for any company interested in delivering top-notch customer service, and becoming a valuable contributor to their customers' success. I would highly recommend you to any people interested in taking their customer relationships to another level." Blake Barry, National Sales Manager Prevue Pet Products, Inc., Chicago, IL "The fact that you practice what you preach by running a successful, customer-service-driven retail chain made your presentation that much more effective. So often, we hear from the textbook-type consultants that it was refreshing to hear from someone like yourself who has the trial-and-error knowledge of building a business from scratch, and running it successfully."
