Networking Seminars : Testimonials
Dear Steve,
I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the Networking Seminar you conducted this morning where you introduced some of the essentials of networking to a group of clients and lenders/credit analysts from First Midwest Bank. You not only provided highly useful tools and information to get the most out of networking events, you made the process engaging and interactive. This allowed everyone to benefit from other's experiences. In the end, I think you left us prepared to get the most from our next networking event, and you also left us all looking for more. The key message from this morning is loud and clear, we all need to do more networking, and we need to go about it in the right way to ensure the best results for our contacts and ourselves. Thank you for setting up this seminar to share your sales experience and knowledge. I look forward to an opportunity to work with you again for both seminars, and networking events. Based on this morning's experience and your committed and professional interactions with me and my company, I will not hesitate to recommend you and your company as an excellent resource, and place to do business.

President's Luncheon : Testimonials
I recently attended one of your Presidents Luncheons and had a great networking experience. The food was great, the atmosphere was positive, but most importantly everyone was there to meet new people. Two weeks later, I had two new clients and 4 additional referrals. I look forward to visiting again.

The positive impact on my business as a result of being a seated member of the Presidents' Group is immeasurable. New business aside, the wealth of expertise and contacts available to me through the group is a tremendous asset.

Steve Fretzin leads a very informative and well-planned networking session via his “Presidents’ Luncheon.” During the session, all attendees get a chance to give their personal “info-mercial” or elevator speech and he does a great job of wrapping up the session by asking each member to state who they connected with at the meeting. Steve’s sessions are not just about schmoozing – they're about action and results!

Steve Fretzin's President's Luncheon Group is an excellent resource to share the challenges and the successes you only experience as a President of an organization.

You will always learn something new at a Presidents Club Luncheon. Each event represents opportunity: to find out about other organizations, and to figure out better ways of communicating about your own. Meeting structure and group size is just right for connecting effectively. Atmosphere is relaxed but professional. I look forward to each one.
Attending Steve Fretzin's presidents' group lunch has been tremendously beneficial for my business. Not only have I done business with people from the group, but also I have met some great network partners who have provided me with other opportunities to do business with people they know. I would recommend the group to anyone looking to increase their business, and continually meet decision makers in the Chicagoland area.

I just wanted to take a minute and praise your Presidents Luncheon organization. I was invited to attend a meeting in February of this year and met all of the professionals who attended. I made the acquaintance of another guest who passed my name on to one of his contacts. I scheduled an appointment and met with the company shortly there after. To make a long story short, we have been doing business together, a lot of business! As it turns out, they are now one of our largest clients to date. I owe it all to you and the luncheon.

I think the President's Luncheon is the best format that I have found for networking with decision makers. It creates an intimate setting to get to know each other and provides a great forum to get your message out to a group who can help grow your business. I often get a handful of good leads from it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... I am so happy to have met you. I have done the BNI and the Le-Tip dance and they all have their journey and place, but this was totally great. I really think that your group was about customer service and really had more passion than I had seen before.
The presidents’ Luncheon Group is the most professional way for me to network my business. I don't know of a more time effective networking venue available. Once a month we get together with 12 to 15 decision makers to discuss our businesses and how to help one another.

The President's luncheon is a great alternative to business owners who are tired of networking events full of sales reps simply pushing their product or service. Networking with real business owners has not only improved my business directly, but also enabled me to significantly expand upon my business to business network. After just two meetings, I have generated leads, secured clients, and refered several of my own clients.

The Sales Results Presidential luncheon networking group has been the most effective way to meet business professional partners. I can't think of a better 2 hours per month where you can find business opportunities, have fun and meet new and interesting people. I know that if I ever need help with financing, marketing, accounting or just advice with my business, I can call anyone from our networking group to guide me in the right direction. Thank you for the confidence in moving forward with running a successful business!

I have been involved in various networking groups over several years and although I still was receiving some results, I was honestly getting a little bored with the monotony. Then I was invited by Jim Rosas to be a guest at one of SRI's "President's Group" lunches. I was very impressed with the professional yet pleasant tone of these lunches – it really was unique. By the time lunch was over, I had plans to meet with 2 of the attendees, and promised to speak to 2 others.
Soon afterward, I was fortunate enough to be invited to become a seated member of a newly formed group and eagerly accepted. Because the "seated members" get to know each other's business needs, and because the focus isn't merely on the quantity of leads shared, the result seems to be better, more-qualified leads and opportunities. I highly recommend these lunches to any businessperson that can benefit from forming a community of contacts and resources. Lately, I actually find myself looking forward to these lunches and to the potential relationships that may arise from them.

Sunrise Solutions : Testimonials
Yesterday I attended Sunrise Solutions, a Chicago area networking event run by Steve Fretzin and Jim Rosas of Sales Results, Inc. The sponsors bill the event as "the newest and most exciting hybrid in networking events in the Chicago-land area," and it is.
The event is a stand out because of its unique use of small break-out groups.....These breakout groups gave the participants a chance to listen to one another and establish foundations for possible business or networking relationships at a level that isn't achieved at most networking events. Since the topics were all related to sales, it gave participants a context in which to share experiences and to naturally demonstrate our working styles to each other..... There were other nuggets that came out of the meeting: approaches to networking events and time management. I found that many of the people there attend as many networking events each week as I attend in a month. Perhaps I should get out more. I'm looking forward to returning to Sunrise Solutions in the future. I hope you’ll consider joining me there.

Dear Steve, Just wanted to take a moment to let you know that Sunrise Solutions is one of the most effective networking experiences I have ever had. From just one meeting I had three solid leads and one proposal. The bonus? The fantastic information I received about the sales process.

This was my first networking meeting and I liked it a lot. I definitely got more than $20 worth of ideas. I even have a match to make for someone at the meeting and a friend who has a complimentary line.

Thank you for inviting me. The meeting was better than most other meetings of type, as it provided more "nuts and bolts" of networking than I've previously experienced.
