Feedback from recent events and upcoming speaking engagements

[Posted by Hattie Elliot, helliot@vivaldipartners.com]

I just wanted to take a moment to update you on some exciting recent as well as future events going on with Erich. Last week Erich was in Scottsadale, Arizona speaking at the CASRO conference, the premier yearly event for leaders of survey research companies. Following his speech I was bombarded with emails praising his speech, below is one excerpt from an email from the conference organizer (Dave Richardson) to Erich:

“What a rock star! As for fulfilling the role you came here for, I’m repeating myself and everyone else when I say you did just what we wanted.  It’s a pleasure to have a colleague who delivers as you did.”

Following the CASRO Conference Erich had dinner with a very prominent C-Level exec from a leading retail electronic store chain. He was so impressed after reading the first 50 pages of HIPS and having dinner with Erich that he immediately texted his compatriots with the comment that he wanted to reorganize to do more of an outside-in look at the business, and had a number of other thoughts stimulated. 

Following the dinner, Erich flew to Atlanta to speak at a Trademark conference, where he received equally glowing reviews and yet again, my inbox was flooded with letters of praise and inspiration regarding his speech.

Next week Erich and I will be in London and Munich where he will be the key note speaker at some phenomenal events as well as being interviewed by journalists from some of Europe’s top magazines and publications; Marketing Week London, Brand Strategy and W&V. Below are a list of the up coming events, if you have any colleagues or contacts you would like to invite to the IESE Alumni event in London, please let me know and I will send them additional information and add them to the guest list.
