I have absolutely no words to describe the impact that Ben Zander, Amanda Gore and Mark Burnett had on my team. But if singing at the top of their lungs (Ben); walking out of the ballroom singing and whistling (Amanda) and a collective gasp that almost drained all of the oxygen out of the room when I introduced him (Mark) are any indication, then hopefully you can imagine the overall feeling.
The CEO of our company, Fotios Kalatzis, was so pleased with everything that he spent 15 minutes of his 25 minute address recapping and quoting the speakers.
I have to thank you for all of your amazing efforts on our behalf, because truly, none of this would have been possible without your help.
I look forward to speaking with you on the telephone, because I have so many stories to share!
With gratitude,

I could not be happier with the service that was provided to Washington Mutual by ISB as we put together our new "Regional" sales meetings. The choices provided to us and the service you gave us to make sure we got just the right speaker for the occasion made our new format a hit with our Sales Force.
The best compliment I can provide is to tell you that the only Speaker Bureau phone number I will dial again is that of ISB.
In addition, the website was of particular help as I was able to "sample the menu" before making any decisions. I have referred your website to many others in this industry.
Thanks again for a great job :)

I cannot begin to say enough great things about International Speakers Bureau. I have used ISB several times to obtain outstanding speakers and performers for company meetings. Most recently, I worked very closely with ISB to confirm a top entertainer for one of our employee business meetings.
From the moment the Content Consultant and I spoke about my needs and special requests, she was moving forward and attending to every single detail. There were some extenuating circumstances along the way that were not in her control, but she was right there problem solving and ensuring that everything was going to be alright and exactly as I wanted. She was amazing. She is patient, detail oriented, organized, and most of all – very professional. She constantly kept me updated even if it meant calling me “after hours” to ensure me everything was going to be just right. I know she worked tirelessly on my project and she never ever was anything but professional, friendly and honest with me. In the end – everything came off just as requested by me. It was perfect!
There is no doubt in my mind that I will call ISB for our next meeting when my company is looking for a speaker/entertainer.

ISB provided several outside speakers over the course of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Partner meetings. Related to that, I want to pass along special recognition and thanks to your organization for the great work and the assistance provided in helping us fill a subset of 17 different openings. I found dealing with ISB a professional pleasure and applaud the committed time to work with us against some difficult speaker selection criteria. In the end your work was very creative, very timely and your suggestions helped us make the appropriate placements.
My thanks to ISB for a job well done.
