''The 2 day course on Creativity in Business that William Reed provided blew our people away and the feedback has been extremely positive, ranking as one of our most popular training programs to date. William's delivery is infectious and he talks on a range of topics from visual thinking and memory techniques to personality analysis. I was amazed that William could cover so much content so well and present in such an effective manner that I can easily recall most of it! I can already see the people involved in this course are putting this to use and they are now thirsty for more and the word of mouth has spread in the company that we should provide this for everyone.''

He presented each of these programs in Japanese, and has worked closely with us to provide detailed follow up and feedback in the implementation. His strategic combination of creativity with marketing and presentations increases the value of the training manyfold. He customizes the content for our industry and supports our company's marketing strategy. We consider him to be a true marketing partner."

''Will Reed conducted a one-day Train-the-Trainer session for TOSHIBA HR Managers from our ASEAN branches. His presentation as a Facilitator was the best that I have yet seen in my career. He not only presented extremely well, but also showed us the keys to how to do a successful presentation.''

"William Reed recently conducted a team building session for our Japan-based commercial officers and staff. The positive results were immediately apparent by the increased level of enthusiasm and high quality of presentations by staff on our core commercial messages. Several staff commented that William Reed's passionate belief in the benefits of Guerrilla Marketing helped convince them they could do it, and his presentation won high evaluations from all participants. The training was supportive to our mission, and we are eager to do follow up sessions to keep up the momentum."

"Will teaches people how to get a greater return on their investment in intellectual capital. How to fish for ideas, remember more of what they have read, and convert those ideas into practical business solutions. His seminars generate consistently positive feedback, and the participants produced high-quality Mind Maps demonstrating what they had learned. He presents practical thinking tools with humor and clarity, equally well in Japanese or English."

"Will Reed is a winner in every part of life, including his uncanny ability to transform others into winners as well. Anyone who is coached by him will emerge a better person in every way. He typifies the Guerrilla of the Century because although he started from a lofty platform, he gets smarter, wiser, better informed, more connected, more aware, and more successful every day. As a trainer of others and a practitioner of the guerrilla business arts and sciences, he is a true Hall of Fame Guerrilla Marketer."

''William Reed is a standard bearer for the ideals of scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship, ideals to which numerous executives aspire, but few are able to achieve. Furthermore, he has demonstrated great awareness of the urgent needs of the New Millennium, by acknowledging the validity of ‘the triple bottom line’ in corporate performance:
(1) economic prosperity (2) environmental well-being, and (3) social justice. This is a worthy consideration on his part, whereby he is of the belief that in today’s world, it is no longer an issue of doing things better, but one of doing the right things: anytime, anyway, anywhere.
His quest for the best has been a voyage of self-discovery; through his books,
seminars, and other professional interactions, he has been wonderfully evolving through discovering his philosophies, capabilities, limitations, and opportunities. This burgeoning awareness has been transmitted to his colleagues and clients at work, as well as to significant players in the global marketspace.
William Reed would be an asset to any organisation. I have no reservations
whatsoever in recommending his services to entities that aspire to succeed through his presence in their midst. It is a privilege and a pleasure to count William as one of my very dear friends.''

''We
asked William Reed to conduct presentations skills training for the
members of our overseas business expansion development team at Autobacs.
The training session was fast-paced and smooth for the fun and clarity
of the exercises. He showed us how to use Mind Mapping to prepare and
enhance a presentation, and by the end of the day participants could
see visible improvement in their own skills and presentations. We intend
to expand his training into a series, not just for our overseas development,
but also in the leadership training for our domestic store managers.''

"Within the first month of working together, having set a goal
to get published by the end of the
year, I already found myself quoted in one article and having published.
Business development goals are also ahead of schedule. Beyond 'mere'
goal-setting and marketing
basics, Will has shown a genuine interest in my business and in my
professional growth.
I can think of no higher testimonial than signing up for more coaching
(I am!). I highly recommend
Will's coaching to other professionals. As a source of energy, humor
and 'guided motivation'
toward results, he's an A player."

"William Reed's presentation on Guerrilla
Marketing for Entrepreneurs in Japan was both highly informative and
entertaining. His enthusiasm for Guerrilla Marketing is highly contagious!

to catch the Guerrilla Marketing bug, William is the man to spread the
word! "

''It was truly a pleasure having you as our guest speaker on
October 9, 2003. On behalf of FEW, I would like to thank you for dedicating
your precious time in supporting FEW and for giving a marvelous, inspiring
presentation about Guerilla Marketing. With almost 80 members and guests
it was a very well attended meeting and shows how big the interest in
Guerilla Marketing is. Explaining about the 30-second-message and having
everyone practice it gave everyone in the audience an easy way to standout
from the crowd from now on. It was all the hands-on advice, that could
be used right away, that members appreciated most.''
