"Julie Ann Sullivan recently presented to the McLanahan Sales Teams at our annual Sales Summit event. This was a gathering of every sales team member globally (including U.S., Australia, UK, India and South America), so we were looking for a high energy, motivating speaker who would appeal to everyone. Julie Ann Was a perfect fit for this tough crowd and absolutely exceeded our expectations.
As a global company, good communication is an absolute necessity when building relationships with customers as well as with each other internally. Julie Ann provided this group with techniques and suggestions on how we can all improve our communication skills. She allowed the sales teams to really think about their approach in everyday situations and to focus on listening as well as communicating.
I was impressed with all of the background she did on our company to prepare for this event. As soon as she kicked off her presentation her level of professionalism and talent was very evident. She got everyone in the room involved and communicated her points clearly with great examples that everyone could relate to. After the Sales Summit, I received great feedback from our sales team on this particular session. I would highly recommend Julie Ann for any organizational function.

"I had the privilege of working with Julie Ann at a recent corporate conference that I had planned for my company. I had been looking for a speaker to discuss effective communication and relationship building to our sales teams. After speaking with Julie Ann, I immediately knew she would bring value to this conference. Her enthusiasm and wide range of experience was a perfect fit for our sales employees who were traveling in from all different parts of the world.
As the coordinator for this meeting, I appreciated Julie Ann’s thoroughness in preparing for the presentation and truly wanting to understand our company and our needs. She was available anytime I wanted to speak, she provided great reading materials for pre and post event distribution and she was completely flexible in aligning her agenda to meet our goals.
For a late afternoon session, she kept everyone’s attention. Not only was she engaging, funny and charismatic but she was able to get everyone in the room involved with her activities. Julie Ann also communicated her points clearly with great examples that everyone could relate to.
I am excited to work with Julie Ann again in the future and I would highly recommend her for any corporate function. "
