Sam Ballas, President/CEO, East Coast Wings:
“I must say, I am extremely pleased and in some cases ecstatic with the results. In a few unit cases, we saw as high as twenty-three(23%) sales increases”……
John Hewitt, President & CEO Liberty Tax Service:
“His [Tom’s] charisma and story-telling captivated the audience and helped to encourage and motivate our franchises towards a successful future. Many commented that he was the best keynote speaker that this organization has enlisted. He recognized our culture immediately and observed our steps towards becoming the #1 tax preparation company in the universe.”
Bob Funk, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Express Personnel Services:
“Tom’s ideas aren’t just the makings of a marketing plan. His thoughts form the basis of a business model that cuts to the heart of your business. It begins as a virus within the four walls of your store and eventually becomes pandemic.”
Roland C. Spongberg, Founder and President of WKS – Largest franchisee of El Pollo Loco:
“It was a pleasure to have you speak with our management team at WKS Restaurant Corporation, the largest franchise of El Pollo Loco. The results since your presentation have been border line miraculous. Since you made your presentation our same store sales for our thirty restaurants have increased by 19.27%. That increase, in my opinion, is simply unheard of. To put it into perspective, it’s like us opening four new restaurants and not having to pay for any of them. Again, thank you for a wonderful presentation. The results simply speak for themselves.”
Todd Layton, V-P of Franchise Operations, The Tan Company:
“I am happy to report that for the first time in three years, our same store sales are no longer flat. We did a 19% same store sales increase with the neighborhood marketing campaigns.”
Ken Myres, President, Romacorp, Inc. (Tony Romas):
“True leaders and innovators in our industry are rare and your contributions over the years have been significant. The programs you developed during your career with major restaurant companies as well those under your “entrepreneurial enterprises” have solid, long proven successful results. You have truly bolstered the top and bottom lines of many of the world’s best known companies. So, this past year when we engaged you to design a number of Four Walls marketing programs for Tony Roma’s, of course I had high expectations. The fact that we were dealing with the largest economic and industry crisis in our professional lifetime made the task appear to be daunting……but you, true to form and character, dug in and put together a series of unique campaigns that “delivered the difference”. Our negative comp sales trend immediately made a significant turn and moved into positive comp territory, still ahead of many of our competitors. I’ve always been a fan……but today stand as another one of your many highly satisfied clients.”
