“The keynote speaker... Walter Bond (former NBA Player) - The most amazing speaker I have ever come across in any conference in any industry I have ever attended. There may have been more famous people to speak before him … But this guy truly blows the door off in terms of his message and feeling you get.” -Franchisee, Buffalo Wild Wings
“Hey Walter, hope all is well. just wanted to thank you again for spending time with us and our customers at our recent conference. Each time we have you back, your message gets better. I appreciate the fact that you don’t take our business for granted (or your industry), and that you continue to “sharpen your saw” and bring us an updated skill set every time.
Although with larger groups, it’s sometimes tough to have an “intimate” or personal setting, but you manage to pull it off, and our customers always enjoy seeing you.
Thanks for everything Walter.”
