Speaking Testimonials

Hi Robert - just a quick note to say thanks very much for the session yesterday. My apologies for having to leave early and not thanking you in person, however I had to get to another meeting with investors.... and as a serial entrepreneur; you'll appreciate the importance of investor meetings in this financial climate! :)

Our Company stands to benefit significantly from the games, as high-performance athletes beat a path to our door. Thanks to you, your colleagues and the entire 2010 team for making it all happen

All the very best,

Matt Ferguson

President & CEO Progressive Health Innovations Inc.

Hello Robert Arthurs

Thank you again for the motivating information you provided about 2010 business opportunities in the workshop you presented at BCIT yesterday (#213).  And thank you also for offering to tell me how to go about showcasing my made-in-BC product at 2010.

Thank you again.

 Hi Rob,

I just wanted to thank you for the workshop yesterday. It was not only beneficial knowledge but also motivated me to put in more effort into my 2010 bidding. Yesterday’s presentation showed me just how endless the possibilities could be if I could manage to secure ""Olympic Gold"".

Thanks again

Alex Case Earthen Trading Co.

Rob,

That was an excellent presentation today and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I intend to pursue the bids for opportunities available as presented.

Again, your presentation was fantastic so thank you very much.

"Hi Robert,

I wanted you to know that I really did appreciate your 2010 Business Opportunities Presentation on Tuesday. I can tell you’re really excited by what you’re doing right now. I could just feel the energy level in the room go up several notches as the presentation progressed that morning. Wow! I had no idea this event was that big! I see the spin off business being just as big as the Olympics and I can’t wait to get more involved. Is there anything else I can do to become more involved in this whole process – that is besides signing up at the 2010 Commerce Centre website? I’m really inspired about the possibilities 2010 means for my business.

Take care.

 Hi, Rob,

Just a quick note to thank you for your presentation on Wednesday.  It was quite an eye opener!  I think I now have a somewhat different perspective on the magnitude of the 2010 exercise, as well as a better idea as to how best to use the tools which the province and Vanoc have provided to try to take advantage of the opportunities which will be coming down the line.

Thanks again, and perhaps we’ll run into you again at future presentations.

Lucy and I enjoyed your workshop this morning. We found it very educational and an eye opener. There are so many curves that one must take to get started. It is not as easy as one thinks but we will get through.

Sincerely Yours,
