"When I first got a call saying I was wanted by American Express, the first
thought I had, was, 'oh my goodness' they're finally coming after me...until
I checked my records and realized no, that would actually be Visa; so the good
news is that I'm going to use the payment for my speech tonight to finally wipe
out my debts with Visa, and begin running one up now on American Express. I want
to add that if for any reason I'm not paid within 30 days for my services tonight,
I'll be adding an extra 18% interest charge for every month they're late."
What People Are Saying
"It’s not often management gets unsolicited
rave reviews for turning a boring event into such a memorable
occasion! As you know, we are under licensing deadlines and severe
strain. Your show got everyone laughing so hard, we may have
coaxed an extra week of overtime from our workers. I've now used
you twice, once at Yankee Atomic, and now for the Yucca Mountain
Nuclear repository, and I couldn't be happier. Your customization
is unbelievable. The hilarious nuclear jokes you wrote made it
sound like you were really a DOE expert. The audience of 800
people went home in a great mood!"
-- Rick Kacich- Yucca Mtn. Nuclear
"People are still talking about your performance! You did a
great job. Several are already looking at hiring
you for other meetings."
-- Matt Lauck- Emerson Climate Technologies
"What a pleasure to experience your performance. It was obvious
that you put a lot of time and effort into learning about both
our company and some of the individuals. The feedback was very
positive and thoroughly enjoyed by all."
-- Wendy Mingst: Doherty Enterprises
"We could not have asked for a better end to our conference.
It was a huge success. Your delivery and timing were terrific.
You successfully incorporated industry terminology that kept
the illusion going. Many clients expressed interest in having
you at their events. The video interviews were also key.'
-- Dave Robbins, MMA Financial
"This is the second time I've used you, and the second time
I'm extremely happy. Because, a lot of our customers and Servnet
people saw you do a put-on 2 years ago, initially, I was concerned,
but not only did you do a great job writing new material, the
wig fooled everyone for you to pull off another hit. It was a
terrific success."
-- Bob Mcconkey, Servnet
"Our conference guests loved you! You were terrific to work
with - highly professional and very accommodating. I particularly
appreciate that you previewed your material. Thank you for a
great job!"
-- Ellen Lockwald, Trizetto
"Harry, thanks for a great show!"
-- Darlene McCalmont, Regrid Solar
"You did a great job at our annual Sr. Managing Director’s
meeting,
especially the way you made it specific to our people."
-- Roger Carlile, FTI Consulting
