Testimonail#1

Jacques is the most intelligent and fun presenter. His drive to keep learning makes his teaching very relevant. Jacques is always current and the manner in which he imparts knowledge is unique. His style is both entertaining and deep.

Adele Biani, CEO, Front Foot Consulting

Testimonial #2

Meeting Jacques was one of the highlights of my trip to Iran.

Apart from being an expert speaker, trainer and consultant, Jacques is a really nice guy. Popular with the Iranian audience he presented for, Jacques provided highly valuable information relating to sales, content marketing and copywriting.

His successful sales background makes him highly qualified to train and consult any organisation in need of accelerating their business results. I am looking forward to share the stages and hours of conversation with Jacques again sometime soon.

Michael Leander, Global Speaker

Testimonial #3

Jacques has an uncanny ability to turn the expected upside down and to look at it from another perspective. He often plays the role of Devil’s advocate, inviting people to consider other aspects of a decision or idea. Jacques is extremely well-read and offers insightful ideas on a range of subjects. He is a thought-provoking and humorous presenter that knows how to connect with his audience.

Kirsten Long, Coach

Testimonial #4

I have known Jacques for over 14 years and have been privileged to attend a number of his sales talks and workshops over the years. Not only is he a highly entertaining speaker and facilitator, but every time I listen to his sales wisdom I have implemented one or more of his ideas and strategies into my sales process. I can honestly say that one of the reasons for my sustained business success is that when Jacques come up with one of his gems I do what he says.

I would highly recommend Jacques to motivate your sales people to results you could only imagine possible.

Paul du Toit, Professional Speaker and Author

I found Jacques’s Internet marketing workshop very worthwhile. It will provide you with a low or no-cost option for improving your site ranking, reaching a wider range of people and optimising your cyber-onslaught. He is also a humorous and engaging presenter. Go do it! Clive Simpkins, Communications Expert and Author

Testimonioal #9

Your energetic body language was magical!

You totally lived up to the challenge to create team spirit at our conference opening by allowing us to ‘dress you up’ in our Huizemark brand muscles and Mexican bandana – you did not only inter-act with the team, but became part of us and managed to make each person feel special.

What we appreciated most was your willingness to research real estate sales to enable you to use the correct terminology and make your presentation relevant to our industry. It is months later now and many agents still refer to your session as the highlight of the conference. You certainly have made lifelong fans at Huizemark!
