The Ritz Experience

I enjoyed your keynote speaker presentation at the Business Leadership Conference. It was interesting how you presented ‘The Ritz Experience’ to guide a business to success. I had no idea that the origin of ‘the customer is never wrong’ could be traced to Cesar Ritz.

Made Our Event!

It was a pleasure to have you deliver our Keynote address, and it was with satisfaction to take credit for engaging you. Yes, true to your word, our attendees will be talking about both of us for years to come. It was especially nice because we gave your book to all the attendees. And this was the first time we incorporated a book signing into our event. Hope to bring you back for our mid-winter retreat.
