Howard's compliments

Thank you so much for your referral and suggestions!!!

Howard is the inspirational "how to" guy. His advice and spirit has doubled my website unique visitors count in one week! Listen to him, follow through, measure your performance!

Howard, Your self-promo video on You-Tube is great. I'm surprised you haven't posted it on Biznik! You're an inspiration.

Sheila

I just participated in Howard's webinar this morning and loved the format and his upbeat attitude. Howard is a gentleman and genuinely interested in helping others succeed.

Howard has shown to be top of the heap in gift-giving and money making information. He has teh experience for sure, but more than that he really listens and responds to you uniquely

Howard gives such REAL, connectable stories and examples.... Enjoy

Howard--great event yesterday! Very spirited! Informative! Motivational! Friendly! Well done!

Not only is Howard a graceful and professional seminar leader, he's also interesting! I stayed engaged throughout Howard's seminar and gained valuable take-aways.

Howard, I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that your great. I love what your doing and the way you are going about it - Keep it up!

Thanks so much for a truly inspiring workshop (NOW is your Time)! Not only did I have a great time, I really learned a lot and left feeling like I really CAN do what I want to do in my business and my life. It was wonderful to see the uniqueness of the participants present and very freeing to realize that I am not the only one struggling. It also gave me some seemingly simple things to just GET STARTED with, which has always been the hardest part for me.

Thanks again for your willingness to be one of the leaders.

I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Cheers, Connie Carlson

I always leave Howard's workshops inspired and ready for my next step!

Howard, thank you for a most informative meeting today. Your keen insight is always appreciated. I hope to attend more of your events in the near future.

Howard is a true professional. His vast experience and expertise has provided me with viable solutions, and an understanding of how to move forward in achievement of my goals. I highly recommend Howard.

Howard's "real" tagline should be "that genuine sales guy" - he always shares his motives along with his wisdom.

His demeanor is absolutely impeccable and his ability to turn obstacles into stepping stones is simply ASTOUNDING!

But the most impressive thing about him was when I watched him host a larger event where only 3 of us showed up. He didn't miss a BEAT in giving his full energy & commanding presence. He presented to us as if it were standing room only and I will forever strive to reach that level of amazingness.

Truly a man to learn from!

Howard, This was my first Biznik event! I appreciated your knowledgeable and genuine approach. The smaller class size promoted a great networking energy and I met some interesting people! Thanks for a great event Howard!

Howard is one of Biznik's most generous members. I attended a second event with him and was impressed even more with his sincerity, his sales and business savvy, and his collaborative spirit. Thank you, Howard, for helping make Biznik the quality community and source of business resources and referrals that it is.

Organized. Dependable. Professional. Wise. Knowledgeable. Sales expertise up the ying-yang. Filled with useful knowledge to propel my business forward NOW.

A joy to work with. Cross-introduced me to valuable contacts.

Does what he says he is going to do. Someone I know I can count on.

I am eager to learn more from Howard. He gets a 5-star recommendation from me! --Julie

Howard, thank you so much for the fun and informative session. An excellent job organizing and presenting the material. I learned a lot and made some new friends. I look forward to attending more of you workshops. Very well done. Veronica

I'd spoken recently with Howard and heard great things about him, but we only met in person yesterday at the Author/Publisher Roundtable. Wow! What a fabulous leader, powerful speaker, and great inspiration to all of us.

Thank you Howard for walking your talk and supporting me in being all I can BE! Tons to learn from you and your experiences.

Howard, thanks so much for co-hosting one of the best events in Biznik: the Author-Publisher Roundtable. After last month's information-packed (snow-induced) teleseminar and today's lively event, I know that I won't want to miss another event!

What a great guy! I lost my (new and expensive!) cell phone during the winter storm and was hoping a "local hero" would return it... Howard got in touch with me and returned the phone to my place of work, refusing a reward even! Thank you so much : ) Jessica

Howard put on another great event! Thanks for all that you provide.

If you have not attended a Howard Howell event you have not had the complete Biznik "experience". If I'm in town, I try never to miss a Howard Howell Forum. They are always full of thought- provoking ideas and stimulating people, enhanced by Howard's warm hospitality. Thanks to attending Howard's events, my circle of Bizniks continues to grow. His events are a rare blend of learning and understanding in our continued search for greater awareness and personal betterment. They are a mere three hours that blink by.

Howard's event was so worth the time - he gave a great presentation, full of energy and enthusiasm. He inspired me to try different approaches in how I present myself in my business. Thank you!

I have been close to many business men in my business dealings and networking travels. None make me more comfortable than Howard.

I trust him.

His logic, reasons, good intentions and persuasions are all sound.

He was responsive, available on the phone and kind through my dealings with him on my car lease.

He's given me catalytic advice on the look, image and message of my massage practice.

He's a seasoned business guy and he's got this magic ability to let you see the world thru his eyes of experience.

I guess you could say that Howard is a gem that's been roughed up, and been made more beautiful because of it.

Thanks to you and to Lori for the Shameless Bragging in Bellingham event. Really helpful information. Thanks for sharing your story and providing a compelling inspiration and opportunity for us to try to do the same. Great event!

I attended Howard's Shameless Bragging in Bellingham and now I'd like to brag about him.

Howard provided us with good solid advice told in an engaging and straight-from-the-heart manner.

Part of the challenge of leading a class is to ensure that participants remember the materials. I won't spoil it for anyone else, but suffice to say, "we'll remember!"

Howard presented a wonderful workshop in Bellingham yesterday. He was genuine, compelling, and honest - and used his own story to compel others to do the same.

Thank you Howard, for bringing more character to our event. It was a pleasure collaborating with you!

Howard is able to create a safe space for people to grow by expanding their comfort zones. If you have the opportunity to attend one of his events or workshops, do it! I'm confident you and your business will be glad you did.

Howard, your "Practical Selling" event was great! I love your real-life examples and the way you use your "story" to communicate what you are trying to teach.

Great smile, Howard! Thank you for all your help today. You have a great energy!

Howard is the perfect example of teaching by example. He's the very model of brilliant communicator and persuasive-but-non-icky sales. If you get a chance to attend an event of his, run, don't walk. Truly inspirational!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Author-Publisher roundtable Oct. 16th Howard.What a wealth of information on how to self-publish, a goldmine really! Made me believe it was possible and discovered that I had all of the support I needed within the Biznik community. Also appreciated all of the tips you gave us on how to capitalize on Biznik's strong online presence. Love your enthusiasm and engaging style!
Best, Karolyn McKinley

Dear Howard, Another stimulating meeting! Good ideas about marketing my books from Patrick Snow. My webmaster, Carmen Smith, was glad she attended and plans to add more articles, video to my profile- per your suggestions. Thanks! Jan D'Arcy

Howard, more than any other "sales guy" you've helped me get out there and share my offerings as a book publishing coach. I've really come out of my shell with your encouragement. Thanks so much!

Jennifer Manlowe, PhD http://LDUpublishing.com

Howard, thanks for always making me feel welcome at your events. I love the your enthusiasm!

Howard,

Thanks for a very engaging and educational Shameless Bragging event on October 7! Your humor, energy, and warmth amped up the learning and the enjoyment for all! Direct real-time feedback from peers and an expert is a valued commodity and you made it easy and fun.

Sandra Jones

Howard - Thank you for Shameless Bragging! I came away with more focus and I even snagged some of your energy!

I have a new list of simple things to work on right away so I can brag about business more effectively. The group had so many useful comments and the mood was very easy going. You've inspired me to get out there to more BizNik events.

Focus and energy are so important. Thank you for adding something great to my day.

I just attended Howard's Shameless Bragging event. Howard is fully of energy and articulate. I learned a lot from his event. I liked his comment about practice what you're going to say, but talk from your gut or heart. That is a much more genuine way to connect with others. Also a call to action as you close is a good way to get referrals.

Wow! It was a GREAT meeting. Thank you so much for taking the extra time for me! You really inspired me, motivated me and made me believe that I can do it! look forward to getting "sales training" from you!
Thank you!

I try to attend as many of Howard's events as possible, because I enjoy learning from his perspective, and his personality makes it easy to learn.

Wow! Awesome profile!

I walked away from Howard's workshop with a better understanding of how to say what it is I do. He helped me take my jumbled introduction that was filled with way too much information at once and transform it into a clear fluid explanation. Thank you Howard!

What I love about Howard and his workshops is that he gives Sales a good name. He loves what he does and he does it with integrity. He doesn't believe in high pressure sales of stuff his clients dont need.

He's the kind of sales trainer you actually want to learn from and walk away feeling good about yourself and your job! This man is an inspiration and I encourage anyone to listen to what he has to share, you just might learn something : )

What impresses me most about Howard is that he's been through the wringer and still has a face that says, 'I like you.' He's a natural and his instruction should be eagerly sought.

Howard's Turn Your Passion Into Profits workshop inspired me to go back to the office and write a one-page sales letter that I'm really happy with. Howard's guidance really boosted the effectiveness of my approach and I can't wait to send this sales letter out or to use its focus in talking to prospective clients.

Thanks, Howard, for great advice and terrific motivation!

Patricia

Thanks so much for the Sales workshop today in Bellevue, Howard, and for the easy to digest, helpful information. I feel motivated and inspired.

I may be one of the few bizniks who hadn't availed myself of Howard's unique magic until this morning's event in Bellevue.

If you're new, newish, not so new to biznik "Get thee to Howard!" The man is passionately commited, cogent, and caring about teaching you how to be the best and most genuine promoter of what you have to offer.

Howard, "I'll be back!" Toni Natoli

One of the reasons I went to one of Howard's events (Author-Publishing Round Table) was simple curiosity. Who was this #1 Biznik? What was he all about? The event was great - very well organized, masterfully facilitated, and loads of fun. Howard is a gracious and generous host. When he shared his story at the end it was truly uplifting, never gimmicky, and a lovely example of genuine behavior leading to success.

Howard,

Thank you for bringing together such a dynamic group of people! I was in awe with each individual and their talents. You are a FANTASTIC Networker and it shows by all who attend your fun & informative events! I look forward to attending more!

Howard, your "Shameless Bragging" mini workshop yesterday gave me so much value from it I am still buzzing. I already put some of your advice to use several times since and it simply w o r k s. Thanks!

Thanks for bringing together such an talented, enthusiastic group! I made some excellent contacts. My second event in a yr but I'll be back next month. I thought I was too busy but what a great way to get so many creative ideas. You're a fabulous speaker! Learned a lot from you about how to benefit from Biznik. Jan

Howard is an amazing speaker. I was positively enthralled by his story and upbeat energy. Thanks for hosting a great event! Hope to see you at another, soon!

Howard offers knowledge, expertise, humor, humility, trust, and authentic goodwill in his business presentations and relationships. Thank you, Howard!

Howard is a great host and a real mensch. The publishing group draws so many talented people. Howard has a natural style that brings out the best in everyone! I have been told to go to these events and I finally made one. Go, this is networking at the tipping point. Biznik has something special and it is because of the people like Howard.

Fantastic event, Howard. Best networking event I've been to. I made some essential connections today that are really going to put my writing projects into overdrive. I couldn't have done this without the event.

What a delightful bunch of people to work with today. You run an awesome event and have a knack for moving us all along so we get the most of our time together. I loved being part of this and look forward to seeing you in the future.

p.s. When you're ready to publish your memoir--how you move from where you where to where you are now--I'm your go-to-book gal, I hope you know. See my website: http://LDUpublishing.com

Howard, you are a great gift to biznik. Although we've only had three interactions together, I feel like I've known you for years. This is due to the great rapport and trust you build with your audience.

I've attended your great workshop and have RSVP'ed for many more and I look forward to receiving great education and experience from you.

Best!

Thank you for the class this evening. It was a wonderful reminder of the power and potential of networking. I'm looking forward to future classes!

Howard's eat, meet and greet in Seattle was a great event. In fact it was my first one...and I am glad that it was with him. He helped me understand how to use Biznik & convinced me to upgrade my account...which got me invited to the VIP event last night. Thank Howard! You are doing good work.

Great Workshop Howard! I feel that it was extremely helpful!

Your eat, meet and greet in Seattle was great today, as usually. You have a great ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued. Thanks.

Rich

Its all about personality. Howard's got a very charming one. Great workshop on bragging. Thank you Howard. Irene McManman

Howard, thank you for your kind words in reference to my professionalism!
Your presentation was insightful and inspiring. I learned a lot at Bizjam, and was glad to have heard you speak.

Howard, once again, has shown how to be a bright light in a room packed with energetic and passionate people. This guy is setting the pace for the rest of us - thanks for the inspiration Howard!

Hi Howard, I found your presentation incredible. It is so great to have tangible exercises to help with the intangible and your three gems are a great tool to keep focused. Thanks for putting it into lay-persons terms. I do believe that my networking skills were instantly improved! I also enjoyed your "Horton" reference. Thanks again.

Michael

I recently attended Howard's "Practical Selling for Indies" event and walked away with some extremely useful information. I now know how to "read" people and their readiness for my services. He also gave me a new way to look at my services and how/when to sell to potential clients. Don't give up...keep in touch! Kim

Howard, what a great man you are. I admire your tenacity, and drive and tenaciy. (that is not a typo) You are truly a connector in many ways and you exemplify the best of Biznik. What an honor to have made your acquaintence. I look forward to seeing you again. Caroline Strittmatter

Thank's for todays event at the Village in Bellevue. I needed those selling reminders for a presentation tomorrow. The one about a compelling story was the most valuable.

I had the privilege of seeing Howard again at a Patrick Snow conference at Alderbrook Resort recently.

The man is a walking wealth of information and experience.

I also appreciate his willingness to boldly share his story, wisdom and expertise with the rest of us.

Thank You Howard. You Rock. Lesli Dullum

Howard Howell is a serial entrepreneur at an advanced contagious stage. You have been forewarned. I look forward to working with Howard in the future, and recommend him to anyone with an interest in developing their business knowledge.

You gave such REAL, connectable stories and examples. You are the host with the most... Dawn

Thoroughly enjoyed Howard's Shameless Bragging workshop. He's intelligent and fun to be around!

I truly enjoyed the Meet and Greet lunch. You did a fabulous job of keeping us on task and encouraging everyone to share a bit about themselves. These lunches WILL become a part of my schedule.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the group. I enjoyed the Meet and Greet Lunch for the second time. I will be a regular

I would have to say that your biznik meeting was most enjoyable for me. The location was just a short walk and the food was great too. I now know where to go for my Thursday lunch.

Howard is a great mentor on the business and Biznik networking fronts. Anyone who has been able to produce the results that he has is worthy of staying connected to!

Howard you are wonderful at what you do! I very much appreciate you stepping up to host Biznik events and you sharing your knowledge with those of us who are much less experienced than you!

Thanks very much for hosting "Shameless Bragging". I highly recommend this event to others, as it is valuable, engaging, and enjoyable. Your insight on networking and communicating effectively has proven to be very helpful to me.

Sincerely,

Ben Resnick

It was a great "sharpening the saw" session. Thank you, Howard and look forward to see more of you!

Howard, thank you again for putting on an excellent workshop. I look forward to attending more and learning things they don't teach you in business school.

Those two hours today at your meeting were a fabulous investment of time! Your enthusiasm, honesty, integrity, wisdom and business know how were a delight to share in! I look forward to more meetings by you! Thank you very much!

Thanks for another wonderful opportunity to "pick your expert brains" on business networking and the ins and outs of Biznik and meet some more people. I appreciate it!! Not to mention, it was FUN! Ok, so I mentioned it! :) Thank you!

Howard, I took a great deal away from the Shameless Bragging and thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people at lunch. Your events are presented in a fun manner which holds peoples attention.

Thank-you.

Ann Ann Thurley

Does everything you touch turn to gold? :)

Howard, what a great event! Thank you for bringing us all together. I had a wonderful time and made some great contacts. I'm so grateful that you are out there, being you and showing us all what's possible.

Thank you so much, Lisa

Howard, What an amazing crowd of powerful and energetic people today. Thanks for hosting and bringing everyone together. -Pamela

Howard - I so enjoyed meeting you at Shameless Bragging today. You offered me a bonanza of totally useful insights in how to succeed in the Biznik world and in business in general. Thank you for sharing your expertise and generous heart with us. -Leta

Howard, it was a pleasure meeting you today and attending my very first Biznik event. It was a wonderful introduction to business networking--the art of shamless bragging, in particulr--and I found it stimulating and FUN, full of great advice! I loved meeting the other attendees as well, and our group lunch afterwards. Thank you for the opportunity and your expertise!

Howard,

Thanks for bringing together a small, intimate conversation--I'll take those over the huge networking events anytime. It's such a great opportunity to learn from you--with all of your years of wisdom--and others. I'll be at more. --Barak

Howard;
Thanks again for arranging another Biznik chat. I appreciate your easy, friendly style & I've noticed that you make everyone feel welcome & relaxed. You're a natural. I especially like the small group formats - much more intimate & easier to make a real connection with others.
Rick

Thanks for the great energy!! This was my first event of yours and I must say, good flow, good turnout, and great way of presenting energetically thru stories to inspire and have people remember! Also I have a bunch see:yeeaars of sales experience if you're looking to collaborate with someone for a workshop. Cheers, Avi

Howard that was a great event last night!

You brought so many people to the fore front all in one place, at one time.

You have a gift!

Thanks, Howard, for your great Shameless Bragging event. I only wish it had been longer - I would have loved more time to practice and give/receive feedback. I'm looking forward to the next installment in your series of mentoring events. You're very good at what you do!

Howard is very approachable, easy to talk to, extremely helpful and a joy to be around. His years of business experience shine as he hosts his amazing workshops and chat spats. It's always a joy to be his presence!

Go Howard!

Wow, Howard! I had a great time at my first event this evening. You are so full of optimism and joy. I want what you have! Thank you for the opportunity to recieve feedback on my networking introductions. I took away some valuable information about myself and my approach. I will see you again.

I attended your Shameless Bragging class and loved it! I really like the part where we practiced with each other. I learned that I need to be concise and specific in what I do and my current needs. I look forward to attending more of your classes.

Thanks again for a great event! My ability to describe what I do is already better than it was 2 hours ago. Your passion for helping people will make you a wonderful mentor, Howard.

I sure like your smile. Your picture on Biznik made it so easy for me to recognize you that day when we accidentally ran into each other in Bellevue!

Howard,

I had a great time at the luncheon you hosted. I liked the way you conducted it and really left feeling you are a very sensible yet charismatic businessperson, and a caring and helpful person in general. I'd love to share in that and learn from it myself as such attitutes breed like kind.

My compliments, Neil

I really enjoyed the Greet, Eat, and Meet in Seattle. I learned a lot and met some really interesting people. I look foward to attending more of your events.

Howard is a true professional networker- relaying his knowledge on expert topics and introducing niche specialists as needed. He has a keen insight on using new trends for business opportunity, motivates those he interacts with, and knows how to take action on his instincts.

Hi Howard, I loved your portion of the toot your own horn presentation. It was really engaging and fun. It gave me some great tips on how to get the word out about my business, Seattle Digital Signage.

Your workshop really helped me refine my message as a women's business coach. Thank you for showing me that demonstrated expertise and shameless bragging are not the same thing! Looking forward to future workshops.

Great workshop last night on "Tooting Your Own Horn". As a Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant, I help clients on the Eastside and Greater Seattle get and stay organized and get more done in less time. After hearing the tips you and Cathy shared, I can now shamelessly add "and I'm darn good at it!"

Thank you!

Another informative (and delicious) lunch! I shall return.

Howard has helped me to realize what my true goals are. Speaking with him has helped me both professionally and personally. His experience and understanding of what really motivates a person helps him to help others achieve their goals. It sure has helped me.

Howard isn't afraid to ask for help. He contacted me when he first joined Biznik and asked me to meet with him for coffee to talk about the group and my QuickBooks training business and offered a referral right off the spot.

Howard, thank you for all your great advice. You inspire, teach and entertain. You are a real giver and I am glad I have gotten to know you better.

Howard is a great business coach who has helped me implement some solid Internet marketing ideas. He is a tremendous resource for busy entrepreneurs.

Howard is one of the wisest people I've ever met; he has already helped me out in just 2 meetings with him!

Thank you for the advice, Howard. I appreciate the generosity of your time and knowledge. I'll never look at rocks the same again!

This was one quick hour! Take the time to attend one of Howard's lunches. I heard 10 different stories, from 10 new contacts, and left with several good suggestions and where to continue working smarter not harder. Thanks Howard

Howard continually motivates the indie business owner with his past experiences and continued desire to educate the world.

Howard, Thank you so much for sharing information about Biznik with me last night. I appreciated that very much. I spent some time looking over the site this morning, and I will be thinking about the changes I need to make with my profile. If you have any other words of wisdom, I'm an appreciative student! Regards, Jan

Howard has an astute business sense, a heart of gold, and has lived through a personal tale of transformation that rivals Jonah and the whale! If you need inspiration, understanding, and a go-to guy, call him!

Howard was so generous with his time that completely unsolicited he looked at our company web site and made a point of contacting me about some "bugs".

What a nice man.

I recently met Howard at a Biznik event he conducted. I came away very impressed with the depth of his experience, the wisdom he gained from that experience and his willingness to share in a very open and honest manner.

If you're smart, you'll take advantage of opportunities to learn from this man.
