Our managers and cast members really look forward to Bob Brown’s training and motivational seminars. At a company like Disney where service standards are very high, Bob is a remarkable ally because of his energy, enthusiasm and pragmatic approach.


Drew Madsen
CEO of Darden Restaurants
The feedback from Bob Brown’s presentation at our Olive Garden GM’s conference was tremendous. We received countless complements on not only his motivational speaking style, but his insights and knowledge of service excellence.

I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to turn up the volume on their conference or meeting.


Adrian Kurre
Senior VP Brand Management, Hilton Garden Inn Hotels
We went in search of the best of the best when we set out to develop our 2003 service initiative. We found him in Bob Brown.

Bob’s presentations at our General Manager’s Conference, and in our Ultimate Service training DVD were nothing short of terrific.

Both Bob’s content and remarkable speaking style was most definitely a home run. He grabs your attention and holds on to you until the end. The best part is that the message is not lost when you leave the room…”lights, camera, action…”


Brian Findley
Director of Food and Beverage, Gaylord Opryland
All three of the restaurants that experienced Bob’s training jumped in check average and the personal income of the service staff. We have seen an increase in our steakhouse by over $5.00 in our check average. Bob is worth every cent - he paid for himself in two months!”


Steve Watermeier
Area Director, Biaggis Ristorante Italiano
I’ve read Bob’s book. I’ve used his video for training classes. I’ve attended his seminars. I’ve seen him deliver speeches. And every time - I learned something new about great guest service and motivating staff to provide it. Learning is always great - but Bob makes it fun and entertaining.


Noel Byrne
Group Operations Director, AB Hotels UK

Bob has a unique ability to reach a broad range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds. He is full of energy and enthusiasm and is able to keep everyone focused through encouraged participation. I would definitely say that this was the best investment I have made in training in my 16-year career in the hospitality industry.


Ray Byrne
Founder of Wineport Lodge, Athlone, Ireland
Bob didn’t need much persuading to come to Ireland, and was such a hit on his first visit that we had to plead with Bob for an extended second visit, less than a year later.
Now Bob’s profile has grown throughout the industry in Ireland, and he is a respected Speaker & Presenter to some of our finest Hotel & Restaurant business in Ireland.

I’m very satisfied that my initial contact with Bob has led to a shared vision of improved customer service and increased profitability which has adapted seamlessly on this side of the Atlantic.

In a world of fast food, express lanes and “paper or plastic, Bob Brown gives you a new outlook and approach on service that will set you apart from the rest. He is the epitome of motivation, enthusiasm and vibrancy. His message is just what the doctor ordered for gaining and retaining “customers for life!”
