April 11, 2016Rico was the guest speaker for the start of a multiple day long sales meeting for a client. Leading up to the opportunity, he was fabulous to work with - very accommodating of our specific requests, open to discussing various creative ideas, etc. He even took the time out of his busy schedule to meet with us in person the day prior to the event for a mini "rehearsal".
Rico helped us kick off the sales meeting in a funny, entertaining, and useful way. The team walked away with information that they can apply to various business situations moving forward.
I highly recommend Rico!
