Your programme has amped and motivated the Ponds ladies so much that even the store staff have approached me complimenting the changes in the ladies. The word 'Compliment' was not in my vocabulary before today! They seem to be more in charge of what they do on a daily basis than ever before! It seems that the 2 magic words "I Choose" have really hit a chord with them.

Renate Niebuhr – Unilever Ponds

Personally it was great to work with you.  Your understanding of the team dynamic and assertive, yet calm way of getting the hard hitting message across was amazing to observe.  I look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Zelda Robertson – Three Cites Hotels Group.

You can tell anyone who cares to listen that “I CHOOSE” are the two most important words that they will ever learn about!!! No jokes Mark, it really changed my life.

Beulah van Rensburg – Media 24

Dear Mark - Thanks so much for the great Sales Training workshop you conducted with us. We learnt so much about integrity in the sales environment and the focus of go giving instead of go getting!   We are feeling very positive about our approach to renewals and new members.   Many thanks!

Coleen van Staden – Cape Town Tourism.

Mark - you truly are a remarkable man full of positive energy which one can’t help but absorb.I learnt a lot from your motivational speaking and sales training and I will certainly be putting some of your tips into practice. You also opened my eyes to see that I am making a lot of mistakes which I can now see and improve on.

Natalie Vermaak - L R Plastics.

The feedback from the team has been so awesome it makes me happy to know that they GOT IT!!  I just want to tell you that in the past week one of them has written almost R 700 000 worth of business, communicating much better with all her colleagues and clients, asking advice and basically has just switched 150 %.

Zelda Robertson – Three Cites Hotels Group.

Mark, when Jill returned from your Retail Selling Skills seminar I was floored by the change, at the same time skeptical that it wouldn’t last, but Jill continues to impress me. There has been a remarkable increase in her sales, and she is also showing more initiative and really appears to be enjoying her work. So thanks for helping her get there, it’s been good for my business and even better for my stress levels.

Dan Saks – Bloom – V&A Waterfront

I have had such raving reviews from the staff with regards to the 2 day Sales Training course. To quote them: “the best one so far.” Cold Press Media would like to establish an ongoing training relationship with you during the next 12 months.

Jennifer Steyn- Cold Press Media

The feedback from your training has been awesome so I am sure we will be looking at doing a follow up session soon. Thank you so much for everything!

Kate Naughton – Jewel Africa.

Thanks for your contribution at our annual Fedhealth sales conference in Hermanus. The staff were extremely impressed with the style and content of your presentation and it has certainly changed their approach to sales. Thisworkshop has definitely given them the tools to achieve their goals.

THANK YOU MARK! This training has really made such a positive impact on the Ponds ladies! I have been asked to send out a huge Load of Thanks from all of my ladies to you - if I don't I will be in the dog box with my girls J

Renate Niebuhr – Unilever Ponds

SAY team-building and clichés spring to mind… …add Mark Berger in this equation and you have a winning recipe… His practical and dynamic approach to team building has elicited a phenomenal response from our departments that have been fortunate enough to spend time with him! He has added value to us as individuals and collectively as a team. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark for any team intervention.

Conway Nesbitt – SPAR Western Cape

Thanks again Mark for a great team bonding day, which we all really needed and benefited from!

Romy Heldsinger - Marie Claire Magazine.

Mark, I just wanted to thank you officially and formally by e-mail for the workshop at Medunsa (which went off GREAT - as you know!) and for the conference presentation at the Warmbaths.   We had quite a few dentists who came to our stand to remark on your talk - everyone seemed to have enjoyed it thoroughly.   Dr.Christina Strydom- 3M.

Dear Mark - I have to admit that when I hear the word “workshop” I tend to be a little hesitant and not sure if it will be the “same old same old” – but I was pleasantly surprised.  It was a new approach for me and I really enjoyed the Legal/Ethical/Moral dilemma. The shape of Your Wheel of Life was very interesting and a new look for me on where I need to focus more – thanks for that! What really changed me is.... I choose.  Thank you so much – I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Lucille Nel – J F Hillebrand.

Your approach of good humor and constant interaction with the staff meant the afternoon was filled with laughter but at the same time we achieved everything we wanted to. Thanks again - I will keep you updated as sales progress. You will be happy to know we exceeded our targets for March and will hopefully do the same for April.

Chris Norton – National Sales Manager – Fedhealth.

Hi Mark - On behalf of all of us at Col’Cacchio pizzeria I would firstly like to say that your talks and workshops were very inspiring.
