Gerri Hopkins, Executive Director, Chairman of the Board | Incentive Federation, Inc
It is rare to find a speaker who fits all of a meeting planner’s expected qualifications. You not only fit all the qualifications, you far surpassed any expectations a meeting planner could ask for in a professional speaker.
Karen Smith-Pilkington, President | Kodak Professional Division
Jim Feldman is a master trainer, presenter and developer. I have had the pleasure of seeing him present ‘D-A-T-I-N-G Your Customer!’ on two occasions (including the Kodak Professional Sales Meeting)…Both experiences were fabulous! Jim was engaging, entertaining, thought-provoking and down-to-earth. He mixed positive energies, humorous stories, memorable insights and practical improvement approaches.
