| STIHL Pty Ltd | Kevin Cahalane was contracted by STIHL to deliver a one-day intensive sales training course at different venues around the country. Kevin took the time and effort to thoroughly research and understand our objectives and was able to tailor the course to the needs of sales staff in our dealerships whilst ensuring it was flexible enough to cater for different skill levels. Over a 3-month period every state held a number of training courses and I received very positive feedback from attendees and the state managers on the relevance of the training and Kevin’s enthusiastic delivery. I have since received a number of request for similar training in the future as sales staff find benefit of putting into practise what they have learnt from Kevin. In my experience Kevin Cahalane is a conscientious and dedicated trainer who delivers on his promises. |

| Best Western Australia | … the sessions were great, they went REALLY well; you have a great personality and you are a good sport (a big hit on the karaoke machine!!).
You were capable of relating the training examples to real life situations and had great stories to share. You also made up time well when some of the speakers went overtime. Rodger (Best Western Australia CEO) was ‘ecstatic’ at the outcome. Well done! |

| CarParts Australia Pty Ltd | It has been a pleasure working with you over the last five years. Your ability to link training programs—our field sales force, telephone marketing and customer service people—to form a cohesive team, focussed on Customer Loyalty and Relationships, has been fantastic.
Not only is your training first class, and results focussed, you also possess a keen strategic mind and have been of great assistance in our planning. |

| Electrolux | 2004 Many thanks for your valuable contribution to the success of our Customer Service Conference last weekend. Your energy, enthusiasm and facilitation were excellent, and you produced a very interesting and entertaining conference. I am sure everyone there found the conference materials and workshops very relevant.
Already the phone answering 'standard' has been adopted, and everyone is 'honking' as required! ... my thanks to you for making our conference the success that it was, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Cheers and best regards.

| Loscam Limited | In early 2004 we decided to hold a sales workshop to improve the effectiveness of our Sales and Customer Service area. We interviewed facilitators to help us with this task and decided on Kevin Cahalane of Sales & Service Momentum.
Kevin commenced the assignment by spending time learning about our business. He looked at our products, our markets, customers and competitors. He got a clear understanding of the areas we wished to improve upon and then worked out a training program tailored specifically for our business.
The conference itself was very hands on and interactive. The participants were given clear messages and were required to demonstrate their understanding. The skill sessions were very relevant and the quality of the material kept it interesting. Not one slide was used which really helped keep up the interest and inputs. | 
Feedback from the participants was all positive. Our most senior sales people felt that it was among the best sales workshops ever attended. The new sales people thought what they had learned would benefit greatly with their sales. The whole department was brought together as a team and is far more effective in achieving their goals.
The result of Kevin’s work has been of great benefit to our organisation. I would highly recommend Sales & Service Momentum to anyone looking to facilitate improvements in their business. I can be contacted on 039-843-3716 if you wish to further discuss this recommendation.
