Peter Busfield, Executive Director
Marine Industry Association

"Our company is buzzing with excitement after you shared your experiences and philosophies with us. Even now your "Can Do" motto is still as powerful as the day you discovered it. I am constantly hearing our employees say "Can Do" when they are faced with a situation that is difficult or out of the ordinary. "
Tom Ruonala, Managing Director
Uniline Australia Limited

"The team added an extra agenda item for the following day and in syndicate groups considered the "Bob Ansett Learnings", these were captured and woven into our customer relationship area; when I get the finalized meeting material I will send to you. Great story, many achievements and I can assure you that a part of your story will go forward now in our story."
John McGagh
Head of Rio Tinto Procurement

"Your discussion was both inspiring and insightful and I know all attendees benefited greatly from hearing from a true business "icon". Our "Premier " Sales Consultants spoke with great passion of your presentation on the Friday and will take away great enthusiasm back to each of their projects".
David Keir, Chief Operating Officer
Delfin Lend Lease Limited

"Your story reached out to many of my staff and they were talking about it for days after. I am hoping that this 'can do' will continue within my sales & marketing team to give us a successful 2006"
Fiona Schultz, CEO/Director
New Holland Publishers

"Bob was professional, friendly, and down-to-earth. He gave a fascinating, funny, impressive and very relevant talk about his journey in business, to which everyone in our quite diverse audience (from engineers and academics to sales managers and fabricators) could relate. He had wonderful and inspiring examples of attitude, service, and other points of difference that can help a company thrive or survive where competitors don't! In our post-conference survey, 48% or respondents rated his presentation as being one of the most valuable of the event (of some 38 presentations), the next most popular was at 23%. "
Anne Byrne
Composites Australia

"Bob, your timely yet enduring message about customer service excellence, delivered at the Sids and Kids function, was greatly valued. I'm sure that those who participated will have taken inspiration from it, and those who choose to practice it will take value.  In tougher times, it certainly pays to render more value, not less.  Thank you again."
Stephen Johnson, CEO
Strategy and Action

"Bob's experiences, as he applied them to the Mitre 10 business model, helped us reflect on what we can achieve if we continue to focus on and be empathetic to our customers.  In our business we have many stake holders and complex processes, which sometimes cloak the customer, but they are and will always remain the sole purpose of our business.
Bob illustrated through his address the eternal reality that our business only works if the customer says it works.  Further, Bob reinforced the critical importance of all stakeholders in business, particularly the value of our supply partners.  Thanks Bob, a job well done."
Ben Leduc, GM Merchandise & Marketing
Mitre 10

Professor Iain Watson UQ Business School Academic Dean & Head of School.

"I was so impressed with the obvious thought that went into your words.  It was relevant and meaningful to everyone in the room and I have had many comments and emails from our store owners, personel and suppliers about your inciteful words.
Brian Cooper  CEO  Andersons Floor Coverings

"Bob, you gave us so much to think about, it was all relevant, all critical and delivered by someone with credibility and passion, I could not have asked for more.   The story you tell from the 60, 70, 80's was new and ground breaking then but I would suggest even more relevant today in 2011...I have to ask myself why we in business don't just do it.  What are we thinking and acting about if not Customer Service be they external or internal, yet sadly they are not always front of mind."
Nigel Williamson, National Sales Manager
OneSteel
