John Stanley is a major draw card for retail conferences

John packs conference rooms on a regular basis as delegates travel from far and wide to hear his words of wisdom.

Below is a list of comments from delegates from around the world on his presentations and his style.

“John is the best speaker I have ever translated for in my career.”
Carla Toffoto, Miflor Conference, Venice Italy, September 2009.

“The two hours spent with you [John] packed in more relevant information than what many similar type workshops present in two days.” Alan Dinnie, Ellis Corp Corporate Business Brokers, November 2009.

“We captured John Stanley... had him to Augusta last year where he knocked the socks off everyone and now he’s coming back, tonight and tomorrow morning to work with Margaret River retailers and non-retail service providers.” Barbara Maidment, Director, Margaret River Business Centre, Western Australia, 4 November 2009

"Probably the BEST speaker with the most critical message I have ever heard in memory and not just MNLA"
Kail Food , University of Wisconsin, USA.

“Just a few lines to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed your recent workshop at Colegraves Seeds.
You were on top form, as always, with your usual inspirational style. The amount of information you gave us all was exhaustive. We are very fortunate in this industry to have someone as outstanding as you to pass on all the information and trends from around the world. You have gone from strength to strength since I last saw you in action about ten years ago. Many thanks once again.”
Mick Allum, Coblands Garden Centres, United Kingdom


"Excellent at explaining the material so that it is easy to digest, fantastic, upbeat speaker, who really knows about retailing." Kurt Sellers , MacDonald Garden Center, Canada.

"John has excellent knowledge of his subject and is able to demonstrate it with practical examples which you can relate to in your business." Bruce McDonald , North City Lotto, NZ.

"Extremely motivating - I have some fantastic ideas. John's strengths were especially his communication skills. It would be great to have a follow up in 6 months." P Comber , Rodney Wayne Hairdressing, NZ.

"Worldly wise, approachable, enthusiastic, knows both sides of the argument, excellent speaker."
Ian van den Berg , Byrkley Park Centre, UK.

"Excellent visual presentation, global overview is excellent. Well focused on our industry, good pace, clear straight forward and pertinent. Appreciate the opportunity to learn from such an expert."
Jay McLaren , Sunset Nursery, Canada.

"I thought this was an overall, excellent workshop -I learned tremendous amounts of helpful and wise secrets, very well spoken with good stories and examples." Cara Hague , Sharon Nursery, USA.

“Yesterday's workshop was a beauty - it presented lots of stimulating ideas, and was the most successful industry event I've ever attended in terms of getting audience interaction and participation. I thought John Stanley presented it really well and that an event of this type - ideally with him or someone of his calibre - should be an annual event.” Kate Malfroy , Jambaroo, NSW

Meet John

"We booked John for the full day and after a lot of head banging we came up with a plan to triple the size of our store and put in a coffee shop.

I can honestly say without Johns input we would have wasted thousands, he totally changed the layout and the entrance points. We have now built the new store, customer flow is excellent and we have hit the ground running, in our first month we are 40 percent up on last year ( in the height of a recession). Whilst John let us keep our own ideas and expectations for the shop he was very instrumental in the smooth transition for the business and the customers and I can definitely say John and his team have been a great investment to our business.

PS we are still at least 40 percent up on last year.”
