“Alan Parisse did a phenomenal job at our event last week! He was well-received by our attendees, and I’m sure we’ll get more positive feedback when we send out our post-conference evaluation survey. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”
“Alan was a big hit and people have said that it was the best conference EVER for tone. He helped to set that tone and high expectations. We don’t get that many 5s that often.”
“Our conference would not have been the success it was without your enthusiastic participation. Your message will help our advisors make deeper connections as essential partners to their clients.”
“You were sensational setting the stage for a magnificent Leadership Symposium – as we all knew you would.”
“I have hired Alan Parisse as an opening, keynote and closing speaker. In every instance the feedback was beyond excellent. He was easily considered to be the best speaker at our conferences because of the relevance of his messages to our organization.”
