    campingworld.jpg"The Retail Doctor’s" passion for retail was evident during his recent “Fit for Business” address at the 2009 Camping World conference. Brian engaged his audience of Camping World store owners with an informative, easy to understand presentation on the “Seven Steps to Retail Fitness”. Store owners had many take outs from the presentation that they could each apply to their own business situation. Conference participants were entertained, educated and challenged. I have no hesitation in recommending Brian Walker as a key note speaker.

    odma.jpgThe ODMA association recently engaged the Retail Doctor to participate in our bi-annual trade fair. In particular the Retail Doctor conducted 2 diagnostic workshops where he was able to address and answer optometrists retailing questions with great skill and relevance to their particular issues. Tthe Retail Doctor also conducted a wonderful and highly interactive presentation to the greater conference audience on the highly relevant topic of “future Proofing retail.”

    This conference was a full house with an overwhelming positive response to the Retail Doctor’s presentation. The Retail Doctor’s knowledge and passion for his topic coupled with his highly entertaining style ensured that our fair visitors were certainly ready to be “Fit for Business”

    I would highly recommend the Retail Doctor for any retailer franchise conference or event where maximum knowledge and entertainment are required.

    centrologo.gif Thank you for presenting at our recent Centre Managers Conference.  The feedback from your session was excellent; one centre manager commented it was the most valuable session of any conference he had been to.

    logo-balken.jpgThe Retail Doctor presented at a networking dinner which we hold annyally for our hair and beauty salon customers. The brief was to provide fresh ideas for our customers to implement in improving the retail component of their businesses. The Retail Doctor was able to show the attendees, many of whom are small business owners, how larger retail operations track their business, and some of the key indicators one should look for to improve and safeguard their operations.

    The evening was a success, and we found the presentation to be most informative and interesting.

    brian_speaking002.jpgThe Retail Doctor didn't just come up with a canned presentation for our people.
    He took the time to understand our stores and our industry and adapt his presentation so that it was meaningful to our stores.
    This degree of customisation makes the proposition by Brian quite unique and easy for our people to understand.
    The feedback from our team was very positive and the workshop aspects of the program meant that members could take away real objectives to apply to their business not just a good feeling that they then have difficulty converting to usable strategies.
    I would certainly recommend The Retail Doctor® to any organisation looking for a hands on practical approach to solving business issues.
    If you want your attendees to be educated, excited and "Fit for Business™" then go no further than the Retail Doctor® for your next retail presentation.

    brian_speaking001.jpgThe Retail Doctor ran a series of highly motivating workshops to my National retail management teams over a series of presentations in 2006.
    The presentation topic was on retail performance, and the skills needed to successfully convert customers to profitable, loyal customers.
    I enjoyed the presentations and in cases found the Retail Doctor’s style to be interactive, entertaining and informative.
    The Retail Doctor's expertise, knowledge and passion for his topic combined with a high standard of presentation provided a series of really engaging workshop presentations for my management teams.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending the Retail Doctor for further retail presentations where motivation and educating the team is the objective.
