What Clients Are Saying

Barry was the keynote speaker at our national sales meeting and has remained as a trusted sales advisor. There is an abundance of social media posts, co-authored books and video clips which teach sales; much of this is posted without filter and with self proclaimed expertise. Within this new social media environment, Barry stands apart as a sales executive who has been in the trenches, understanding the practical real world issues, and continues to step into the field so that he sees the day to day battles sales personnel face. Prior to his keynote speech, Barry took the time to be in the field, to dig into revealing client discussions and to observe with an expert’s eye. The result of all this was that Barry formulated his breakthrough sales ideas in a way that appeared authentic to our industry and ones which our sales team was apt to adopt. While I can list many other qualities which make Barry superb, one other which I will conclude with is that the client/vendor experience of working with Barry is a sales lesson in itself. He builds trust early on, leaves no inquiry without a timely response, effectively engages key sponsors, and follows engagements with - all the appropriate niceties (including the handwritten thank you notes). To have all this as an overlay to his far reaching sales expertise is truly amazing.

The Highest Rated Speaker at Our Conference.

Barry Farber presents real life lessons which can be used in the work place as well as in your personal life. He engages the audience in a way which they can truly relate to him and his stories. You can count on listening intently while laughing out loud. When Barry is done presenting you feel energized, excited and a smile will be on your face.

Congratulations! Out of 10 outside speakers at our recent conference you were rated number one. Quite an accomplishment considering the outside talent we secured this year.

Sales strategies to grow your business is the single biggest challenge for business owners, and Barry Farber’s motivational presentation is full of proven sales techniques, practical advise and simple tips to meet that challenge; and he does it with a sense of humor that keeps the audience engaged and glued to every word. I have used Barry over 20 times, in 13 different cities because the relevancy of his information and the positive feedback I receive, has been overwhelmingly positive, “…Bring Barry back”, “Please present more of the same information…”, “I was able to implement some of Barry’s ideas on my first sales call…” Barry is an entrepreneur who lives what he talks about every day and it’s one of the biggest reasons why business owners respect his advice, and why I will continue to utilize his talents and expertise.

Congratulations on doing a fabulous job motivating our management team and giving them valuable actionable items to work on. You got them fired up and they loved it!

Barry Farber is one of the most authentic, passionate and action-oriented authors I have ever met—a true original. His Nightingale-Conant program, State-Of-The-Art Selling is our best-selling Business-to-Consumer program of all time and delivers proven sales strategies that are customer-focused and have been ‘battle-tested’ in the marketplace–he doesn’t just recycle old and tired sales techniques. Whenever Barry talks…..I listen!

Barry Farber provides a solid roadmap for success.

I always thought “knock your socks off” was a figure of speech. Until, that is, you addressed our group. Our audience was comprised of more than 200 top selling travel agency owners and top level executives with many of the largest cruise lines and tour operators in the world – like Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line. They were all “heavy” hitters – not easily impressed!!! Congratulations, Barry, our group voted you this year’s “Favorite Speaker”.

I want to thank you for making our Dynarex National Sales Meeting a big success! The training session was well received by all and I was delighted to have received excellent feedback from many of our sales people. Once again, thanks for doing a great job! I hope we will be have the opportunity to utilize your services in the future for another sales training workshop.

I have known Barry for almost 30 years. He has followed me in my career and I his and to my benefit it has helped me grow over the years. I can say that many authors, speakers and consultants have come and gone in my career, but Barry’s message rings true and has held up over the decades. Barry is exciting, intelligent, resourceful and has an uncanny ability to put people he speaks to at ease. Whether in front of a large audience, small group or one on one, he is cool, informative, funny and relevant. Managers of mine, years after attending Barry’s seminars and meetings, quote him as if they heard him yesterday.

Over the years we have had a lot of guest speakers at our meetings, and you were far and away the most entertaining and engaging!

Over the years I have listened to many sales and motivational speakers and eventually they all start to sound alike. However, you really brought some fresh ideas to our company and they were all well received. Our company overall enjoyed the keynote address and I believe that the points you made about everyone in the company having a role in Sales will help shape the culture. You have quite a group of fans here in Miami now!

I wanted to reiterate how on target, entertaining and educational your presentation/seminar was for our national sales meeting in Philadelphia last week. Your concepts are right on.

What a resounding success! The management seminar you conducted was outstanding! Your words of wisdom, coupled with the great humor kept everyone enthralled and ready to listen. The Senior Business Directors and Business managers left “raring to go” and put their skills to work.

Barry Farber combines practical advice, hard-earned wisdom, and years of experience to equip you with the tools you need.

Barry Farber’s Keynote presentations are extremely informative and wildly entertaining. Two thumbs up!!

You surprised quite a few of us – including me! Your session with us yesterday was really worthwhile. There were lots of good ideas.

We loved your presentation -- so many valuable tools and insights. Thanks again for inspiring us at OCBA. Totally enjoyable.

You're awesome!!  You are a wonderful and engaging speaker.   I look forward to implementing many of your terrific marketing ideas.  Thank you for sharing your energy and humor with us.

Really enjoyed your presentation last night and the great turnout. Besides informative you're very funny.

Excellent Meeting! Great presentation, enlightening, funny yet seriously business-worthy inspiration, motivation and energizing evening!  Easily worth the price of admission times two!

Thank you very much for the wonderful presentation at our management group meeting. It was very well received. You were able to keep the attention of the audience andeveryone appreciated the knowledge and practical experience that you

shared with them. Well done!

Terrific! He far, far exceeded my expectations. Engaging, witty and lots of excellent tips.

Barry delivers the fundamentals in an entertaining way and we get results!

I’ve never had so much fun learning before!

You did a great job with the management seminars. I am, as you know, a cynic of the first order regarding seminar speakers talking to us about sales, but you are the real thing. Your examples and exercises came from and will help us with the real life business of recruiting, training and guiding our salesmen & women.

Your program was right on target, no esoteric formulas or fad concepts, just plain, straight forward solutions for improved sales.

Barry thanks, real ideas, applicable! Thanks for the motivation! By the way, I didn’t see anyone on their Blackberry while you were speaking!

We all enjoyed your presentation and certainly your humor, as demonstrated by the standing ovation.

You did a great job last night bringing the fundamentals back into the game; my sales team enjoyed your seminar.

Your session at the Scholastic conference was fantastic! Thanks for making it so entertaining as well as educational.  It's so nice to finally hear someone who comes from the real world of sales and doesn't just offer more classroom rhetoric.

Since receiving State-of-the-Art Selling, I have increased my sales volume by $500,000 over what I would normally produce in the same time frame.  Of the nearly 150 Nightingale Conant programs that I own, yours' is my favorite.

You were a big hit among both the sales reps, as well as sales management, which I’m sure you know is no small feat. There were several things which in my opinion made your program very successful.

Your background in sales – you could speak to the group as “one of them”. You provided practical information – it wasn’t canned information that you had not practiced as a salesperson.

You were well informed – you had done a good job of researching Great-West and were able to put things into our language. Your research on the sales profession – this added a lot of credibility to your material.

The response last night was phenomenal. We had more guests attend than any conference in the history of the board!  Your answers were full of practical advice and were eloquently expressed. You even let your sense of humor come through.

Entertaining and inspiring!  It was an honor for us to have you at our conference.

Amazing how much insight and information – this will help me forever.

Your message was motivating and powerful, and I’m applying the ideas and methods today!

Great information that I’m already implementing.

One of the greatest learning experiences that I have ever had.

This was the best Valpak seminar I have attended!
