We offered Stu Schlackman’s “The Four People You Should Know” class several times during 2009 and each time the reviews were unanimous. This was our most popular class for 2009 and we are already having request for it this year. Stu has a gift for getting the message delivered and for making everyone love the messenger. His material is relevant, his delivery relatable. And more importantly what he teaches works! Our associates who have participated in Mr. Schlackman’s courses have improved their sales, their business and their lives.

Between Stu’s engaging manner, his easy and sometime self deprecating humor and the interesting nature of what he had to impart, he had them from the start. It surveyed as the most popular and most useful training that we had ever done. By changing his approach each time and keeping them all engaged, Stu managed to keep the attention of a very difficult to reach group, for the entire day, far exceeding any of our expectations.
