Testimonials

[Nate's] presentation was highly engaging by the participants and highly successful as many participants have already reached out to Nate for additional support, especially in succession planning, which has been a big topic for all.

I personally think he would be a great addition and a terrific guest speaker for all the CEO and emerging Round Table participants, especially on what it means to prepare for the unexpected.  He has a great story to tell and there are several people that I know that would highly recommend him as an added value to Round Table discussions.

Nate,
​
You beat me to the punch... I want to thank you for delivering the perfect presentation to the group yesterday.  They all said that you were one of the best presenters that they have had and I am sure that's because you were able to say out loud the things they have been thinking and feeling.  I will use  your questions and worksheets as a guide for our 121s to help them continue working on their transitions...
 
Have a great summer!
 
My Warmest and Best Regards,
Gail Schaper-Gordon, Ph.D., Coach | CEO

"Nate Sachs gave a great presentation yesterday that has gotten rave reviews from all my people.  His message is very supportive of everything that we do within our Groups all year long, but his sage and avuncular style held 40 people captive for 3 hours, which is no small feat.
 
If you have any speaker openings, I highly recommend trying to book Nate Sachs and his presentation “Being In Business Today and Sleeping At Night.”
 
Since its a wind chill of -1 outside, I think it’s a good time to head down to Orlando next!  I hope to see all of you there."
 
Best Regards,

"Nate was one of our speakers at our national conference in Tucson, Az.  Out of all our speakers he received the highest ratings.  Even though he spoke on succession planning, his topics went beyond just simple succession planning.  Nate's presentation is very relevant for people who own their own businesses."

"I have been working with you and your team for over 6 months now following your 'Blueprints For Tomorrow' process and I just had to write and tell you how absolutely incredible it has been. It should be called 'Blueprints For Today And Tomorrow'. In addition to really helping me think through and plan for what to do to succeed going forward and learn how to work “on” my business and not just “in” my business your process has caused me to develop ideas and strategies that make me a far more effective and efficient company today!

Your process has helped me get exquisite clarity about staffing needs, revenue growth and organizational effectiveness. I started this process wanting to get ideas and plans for how to either prepare my business for sale or to develop some more thoughtful exit strategy because that’s what I though Blueprints for tomorrow was. Boy was I wrong! It is indeed that but it is so much more.

Your personal guidance and coaching has been a very important part of the process as well and I have no advisor to me and my company that I respect more than Nate Sachs.Thanks for getting me involved in Blueprints for Tomorrow. It has made a huge difference and I think any owner of a business would be crazy if they didn’t explore what this incredible process  can do for their business."

"I have just had Nate Sachs speak to two of my Vistage groups with one to go yet tomorrow. He is one of the very best speakers I have had (ever) at Vistage. His delivery is excellent and his message is spot on target with my members and can be executed immediately by them. I could not be more pleased with his performance and would recommed him to any Chair for their groups. He was even well received by my Key groups as he toned down his presentation for them."

"I would like to thank you (Nate Sachs) for the work and collaboration you have done with my company. Your approach to the review of companies and their positioning for the exit of the owner is insightful. Many owners, such as me, look for companies that will consult with us and with no strings attached to the sale of a product. Your detailed, step-by-step approach to looking at companies and processes increased our profit and reduced the amount of time administering our company. This allowed us to focus on growth and additional market share."

"On behalf of the Multi-housing Laundry Association (MLA) officers, members and staff, I wanted to drop you (Nate Sachs) a note of appreciation for your excellent presentation during our Dove Mountain, Arizona Fall Educational Conference in October. I know our program schedule forced you to compress your remarks, but you easily jumped over that hurdle and proceeded to produce the best return-on-investment that we have gotten from a speaker in a while.

Your 'What if ...' approach to laying out your presentation was very effective and every MLA member in the audience could in some way relate their business issues to what you were talking about. Our members are in different places with their operations, but from succession planning ot the art of growing the current business you had something that everyone could grab onto. That was a major plus and kept everyone's attention.

Your good energy and enthusiasm were much appreciated. You added in a wonderful sense of humor and lots of audience participation and engagement as well. However, the slam dunk was your deft use of loads of examples from your personal experience to make your points and further illustrate the concepts you were trying to convey. The use of good examples makes the concepts more real for the audience and we got lots of feedback that your examples were very much on point and useful. The workbook you handed out added to the 'take with' value of the presentation.

Thanks again for being with us at Dove Mountain. As we discussed before you left, I think an invitation to a return MLA educational conference may be in the cards. In any case, we'll keep in touch and look forward to future contact."

David Feild, Executive Director
Multi-housing Laundry Association
"Nate - You rock! Thank you once again for an outstanding presentation. You set the bar for all other speakers that will not be easy for them to attain."

"Thank you for a great morning yesterday. An inordinate number of my members came up to me and said, 'that guy was really good' at lunch and during the afternoon. They all got something of value during the morning and that’s my goal always.
