Client Testimonials

  • Scott has served as a keynote speaker at a number of our events over the past several years.  In short he delivers a quality program whether he’s speaking to a team of our front line sales personnel or high level leaders.  His vast years of experience in sales, marketing, advertising, and business in general allow him to offer a multitude of content. His stage presence and ability to connect with an audience is second to none. Scott is a master in tailoring his message to captivate audiences and provides them with practical take-aways everyone can use to grow their business, leadership, and overall self-worth.  I highly recommend Scott for anyone looking to inspire their team to the next level.

  • Over two decades ago I attended one of Scott's keynotes on branding and customer service. I never forgot what I learned and used his training throughout my career.  When I started at my agency, I wanted our staff to benefit from the same training and I brought Scott in for a keynote.  The impact was immediate, and this keynote turned into a three-year staff training program focusing on leadership, customer service, and building our brand.  Creating a thriving culture and improving staff leadership improves productivity, morale, and customer service.  Scott brought decades of real-world experience and polished presentation skills to help our organization further develop our culture and leadership skills.  This doesn't happen overnight, but with continual training and skill-building, the results were transformative.  By helping our staff look at the customer from the customer's perspective, incremental improvements are made.  The sum of these incremental improvements is massive over time.  Scott Deming will help you transform your organization.

  • He was incredible and perfect for our business session. We had some technical issues, but he was so patient and rolled with the punches.  We debriefed the group following his presentation and had some lessons learned.  They took away extraordinary messages from his presentation.  It was very fitting for our theme and topic for this year.  I have no doubt we will crush the competition.  I would highly recommend Scott for any business looking to energize and engage their leadership.  Thank you, Judy for recommending him and thank you Ellison for making all the arrangements.  I couldn’t have been happier!  If there is any testimonial you need for future clients for him, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.  I would be more than happy to get the word out about Scott!  Please let him know.

  • I have known Scott for nearly a decade.  Scott worked with us in a variety of ways when I was the CEO at True Value – from big stage presentations to smaller group leadership development.  Recently, he was the keynote speaker at our inaugural senior leadership team meeting at Ascend Wellness. He was one of the highest rated agenda items over the 2-days, delivering highly relevant and motivational content.

  • On behalf of the Mortgage Bankers Association, I wish to sincerely thank you for the captivating, meaningful and timely presentation you made to our members at our 94th annual convention in Boston. I have been working at and attending events such as these for several years. As a staff member and coordinator for our conferences, I am pulled in many directions. I rarely sit through more than a few minutes of a speaker’s presentation, because I need to be in too many places at one time. I planned to watch for a few minutes and make sure you had everything you needed, then skip out, but there I was 90 minutes later. We’ve had nothing but wonderful feedback regarding your breakout session. I’m confident we will be speaking with you in the future about participating in additional conferences. Thank you again for your participation. You truly helped make our 94th convention a huge success!

  • It was a pleasure having you as Armstrong’s speaker at our spring management retreat. It is important to Armstrong to provide a program that will motivate, stimulate and develop our team. Your message and method was both educational and entertaining. Our goal to provide an excellent customer experience has been enhanced, and our awareness of the relationships with customers strengthened as a result of your efforts. I know that members of our team were inspired to implement some of your techniques, ideas and message into their relationships with employees and customers.

  • I wanted to send you a follow up letter regarding the recent training session you presented for our sales and business teams. I heard feedback like, “by far the best we have ever had”, “Mr. McDonald, Mr. Deming just set the bar real high for any other training we ever have” and one National Salesman said, “my suggestion is we have Scott Deming come speak to us at least twice a year.” As you can see, you’ve made me look very good Scott and all 54 attendees were extremely satisfied with the 4 hours of training they received from you.

    Scott McDonald Director of Sales - GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE
  • There are speakers with sizzle, and there are speakers with substance. Scott Deming is one of the few speakers we’ve experienced who delivers both. We found Scott to be great to work with and eager to tailor his presentation to our audience. He’s an authoritative and entertaining speaker who makes a lasting impression, and I’m proud to recommend him.

  • You kicked off our day doing a breakfast speech, and your super energy and very strong message helped carry a full convention day. Our group was energized and learned more due to how you kicked off the day. I would highly recommend you to any organization looking to get folks focused on the fact that people sell to people, and without the personal sales relationship, the future will be bleak for those selling on price alone.

  • …a quick “WOW!” and Thank You! Talk about exceeding expectations! The fact that the standing room only crowd quickly erupted into a standing ovation was proof positive of the impact your message had on our group. I really think the extra research you did by calling our customers and getting ‘their side’ of the story” added to the relevance and credibility of your presentation. Thank you so much for coming through for us. You’ve sent away the sales force with a new level of energy and motivation.

    Dean Grossman National Sales Manager - Cargill AgHorizons
  • Scott, you came highly recommended, that’s why we decided to go with you at our first dealer meeting Biloxi. But after witnessing your presentation and hearing the rave reviews from the dealers and Carrier’s management, we had to have you at the rest of the corporate meetings across the country. I know traveling coast to coast over a two-month period wasn’t easy. But you have to know just how much it meant to Carrier to have you deliver our sales and marketing information in a way that no one will soon forget. Your sales and marketing expertise combined with the most amazing stuff I’ve ever seen was a home run! On behalf of the senior management and our regional managers across the country, thank you for your incredible presentation.

    Jim D'Agostino Vice President - United Technologies Carrier

But when you finished your presentation, our entire group jumped to their feet for a well deserved standing ovation! We truly appreciate your time in advance of the meeting to really learn about our business. You mixed our challenges, goals and objectives into your presentation to make it not only exciting and memorable, but very relative. Your presentation exceeded all of our expectations. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
