On this occasion, Bill offered his professional guidance to Theo Gilbert-Jamison, author of The Six Principles of Service Excellence, during lunch at Olive Garden Restaurant. Theo was Vice President of Training & Development for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, prior to establishing her own company, Performance Solutions By Design, based in Atlanta, Georgia.

“Thank you for your continued support, guidance and direction. I consider you a mentor and role model. The advice and expertise you have offered me over the years have been immeasurable—especially your endorsement of my book, assistance with producing my recent interview CD and countless other instances when I have called on you for professional counsel. Thank you for everything you have done to help make my consulting firm (Performance Solutions by Design: www.psbydesign.com) and my book (The Six Principles of Service Excellence) a success.”

Bill helps Rick Owings, President of Worldwide, Inc., develop a series of major presentations to prospective clients.

“Just a brief note of thanks for all your help with our presentation a few weeks ago.

Thanks again for your help on short notice and we will look forward to working with you again as our process continues.”

–Rick Owings, President of Worldwide, Inc.

“Recently I was asked to give a presentation at the National Conference of the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), held in Boston, MA. The group of 300 manufacturing professionals was invited to hear my story of the successful turnaround of the Duracell battery business. In preparation for the presentation I contacted Bill Lampton to help me prepare for the honor, as I wanted to represent Duracell (a division of P&G) to the best of my ability. I was pleased to learn that Bill was not going to try and change me into something I wasn’t but instead had proven techniques to enhance my natural speaking and communication style. After a couple of days spent with Bill and a little outside work on my part, I really felt prepared to deliver the message to the group. The speaker evaluation results (4.69 out of a possible 5.00) confirmed what I felt about my speech: it was better than I had possibly imagined it could be and was a very enjoyable experience. It was a great experience working with Bill and I plan to call on him again in my future.”

Together, we devised a professional growth plan that has brought visible results already. Truly, his guidance and support have jet-propelled my sales career. Whether you are a seasoned executive or a new company representative, call Bill–and you will start benefiting right away.”
