MIKE ABRASHOFF - AN EVENT PLANNER'S DREAM

Last week MIKE ABRASHOFF  arrived in the hotel ballroom at 8:15 am for his contracted 9am speaking time only to be told the talk was moved to 11:30.  The event planner never told the bureau – and even confirmed the 9:00 am time in the pre-event conference call with Mike two weeks before.  Needless to say the event planner was extremely apologetic.

Mike had booked a non-refundable flight which left at 11:30.  Worse, the change meant significant delays in reaching his next destination.  Being the pro that he is Mike simply changed the ticket at his own expense and didn't register his frustrations with the client.

No need to add to the event planner’s stress.

Most important – Mike got a standing ovation from an audience, who were unaware of the travel and schedule rejiggering.  The client was thrilled and grateful to Mike (and to the bureau who booked him) for making her look good.

COMMITTED TO GREAT OUTCOMES

Mike shares DN's commitment to making things work.  The philosophy is simple:  do a great job so everyone looks good - the sponsoring organization, the event planner, the agent who booked the event, etc. It’s all about the sponsor and the attendees getting an outstanding presentation that meets the objectives.  That’s what Mike’s been delivering since he started speaking in 2002.  Over 1,500 events later, the popularity of his message endures.
