Joanne gave a workshop at our Company Annual Sales meeting four years ago. The brilliant simplicity of her message combined with careful attention to our Company's unique selling challenges left a lasting impression that benefits our sales force still today. As a speaker, Joanne is engaging and very direct. Thank you, Joanne!

After 8 years of selling for others, I started my own business. I didn't want to sell the same way I had been taught – by setting aside several hours a day to pick up the phone. I know how to make cold calls, in fact, I am quite good at it. But with my own business, I wanted to do it differently, but I wasn't sure where to start. After taking Joanne Black's one day seminar, I started to build my business based on referrals. My business has grown organically – and quickly! – because I am talking to and meeting the right people, thanks to the invaluable tips I learned from Joanne.

Your keynote was so inspiring, You definitely challenged what I thought I knew about going to networking events and raised the bar for me to take what I'm doing now one step further.

Joanne Black was a guest speaker for a networking event I organized. The event was a complete success! Not only did we sell out with 162 guests, but Joanne's presentation on building you business with referrals was a gigantic hit. Thank you, again!

Joanne has this amazing ability to speak with powerful intention. Every word has meaning and purpose. Be ready with a pen because she will give you so much as you listen to her message you will need to go back and review! I highly recommend her at any meeting where you want a power-packed presentation, especially in a short time frame!

Thanks for your inspiring presentation during the 2008 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. I’m looking forward to your webinar, and will also enroll my sales team.

Joanne spoke to our clients at one of Women's Initiative's Quarterly Networking Events. The theme of the event was networking. When I was looking for a Keynote, I asked Joanne Black first. She was an obvious Keynote because of her renowned knowledge in networking. Joanne was cool, collected, and very flexible. She impressed our clients, staff, and business connectors alike. Our clients walked away with the tools necessary to network without fear. The data she presented was so impressive that a member of our Loan Committee asked for a copy of them.

I highly recommend Joanne Black for your large events, to educate your staff, and to utilize in your own practices. Kelly McKae, Business Connector Manager, Women's Initiative

Our recent Area Management Offsite was a tremendous success due to Joanne Black’s powerful presentation. She challenged everyone, and our managers took away new skills that they immediately put to use. Also valuable was that simply with her presence, Joanne inspired us all by demonstrating the attributes of a sales professional. Thanks Joanne!

I learned that nearly everyone is shy and uncomfortable in social situation where they don't know where people so introduce yourself and start networking.
