“’The Art of the Business Lunch’ is pivotal to the science of selling. I have maintained for years that lunch is the best place to build a relationship and make a sale. Robin’s message is the recipe for lean cuisine and fat checks!”
~ Jeffrey Gitomer, Author of “The Sales Bible,”
“The Little Red Book of Selling”

“The quality of your relationship with your client is the determining factor in successful business; Robin shows you how to develop this at a high level.”
~ Brian Tracy, Author/Speaker

“We have been getting great reviews from your presentation and our fickle attendees really enjoyed the information you had to share.  Your ability to interact on a very personal level with the large audience and deliver such a content-rich message with information that can be immediately implemented by the attendees was the perfect fit for our audience.  Your humor, your self-awareness and your ability to ‘read’ your audience and modify the presentation as needed left us wanting more and more.”
~ Larissa Schultz, Director of Professional Development for the Southern California Chapter of Meeting Professionals International

“Thank you for speaking at our annual manager’s meeting this month. “The Art of the Business Lunch—Building Relationships Between 12 and 2” really hit home for our team.

The point you made about the importance of introducing a social aspect into your client relationships as a means of building stronger, more productive relationships is solid. I was so impressed that I am going to establish a mandate requiring my executives to conduct a specific number of business meals each week.
Thank you again for your presentation. It was the perfect “shot in the arm” that we all needed to hear.”
~ Howard A. Kalmenson, Pres. & CEO, Lotus Communications Corp

Thanks to your presentation, I know my employees will never again have to worry about turning in bloated expense receipts. You showed them how to take control of any dining situation, including how to order wine without feeling intimidated by wine lovers. Also, by creating a better understanding of the four distinct personality dimensions and how they interact with each other, my team was immediately able to recognize specific behaviors. In fact, soon after your presentation, we had a situation that was easily diagnosed and remedied because we could clearly see that it was the core personalities of the employees involved that were driving their actions.

I know that because of your presentation, we will not just be able to increase our sales, but will also be better able to avoid conflict and create a greater sense of harmony in the workplace.
~ Douglas Rossier, Executive Vice President & COO

“…. Not only is she knowledgeable from personal experiences, but her delivery kept us captivated. If a salesperson ever wondered why they were here, she certainly worked to show the way, as well as the importance of what we are doing here.  Her book is a must-read!

Her presentation was exciting and precise. As I hire new salespeople, I will be inviting her back. I recommend her presentation without hesitation, to any business that has a sales team eager to increase their business.
~ Judy Owen, Assist. General Manager, Lamar Outdoor

“A big part of success comes from the relationships you are able to build; Robin teaches one of the best ways to build them – by sharing a meal.”
~ Jack Canfield, Co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and co-author of The Success Principles”

“Robin Jay was extremely sensitive to the needs of my organization and created a highly customized presentation that was exactly what I’d envisioned and more.”
~ Andy Chen, Professional Development Chair, AKP, University of California, San Diego

“Ms. Jay spoke to a group of our shareholders, associate attorneys and management staff… We were impressed that she took the time to tailor her presentation to the specific issues and needs of a law firm; as a result, it was very much on-point and well-received by everyone in attendance.”
~ Catherine M. Luce, Client & Community Relations Coordinator, Greenberg Traurig, Attorneys at Law
