I have had more positive feedback concerning your sessions, than anything we have ever done in the past - which is a wonderful testament to the gifting and abilities the Lord has blessed you with. The troops have gained much from your sessions/experience and hopefully the results this year will reflect an increase in their capacity to grab hold of and run with the concepts and ideas you imparted to us all.

Luke Neale - Save on Bills

Tony Gattari is one of the most gifted and naturally engaging speakers I have encountered in all my years of running large businesses. As managing Director of a national Franchise Business, Core Training for new franchisees is extremely important to us, and finding someone with the right balance of experience, knowledge, personalism and relatability was extremely important, especially to the eventual success of our franchisees. We could not be happier with the sales and business training provided to our newest franchisees by Tony. They were not only informed and motivated but all made comment on the ability of Tony to relate to them on a their level. They left the training with a belief in themselves, thanks to Tony. Thanks so much, and we'll see you at Lindeman in a few months!

Michael Schildberger– Executive Chairman of Business Essentials

Terence O'Mahony - Owner - Icon Business Solutions

“Tony and I met in Portugal and spent an intensive training week together. Tony is the most charismatic trainer that I have met, not an act he really knows his stuff - as he is also the most learned, and studious, continuously reading books, thirsty for more knowledge - that he can transfer like no other. If you get the chance to go to one of his seminars it will change your life.”

Paul Line - General Manager - Telcoinabox

Tony Gattari delivers the fundamentals of business success without distraction from a short-term motivational buzz. His passionate and down-to-earth presenting style inspires strategic planning to implement within the business over the coming months and years, setting him apart from the stereotypical ‘motivators’ who make you feel all-powerful at the time but convey no meaningful message or ideas to actual help grow your business. With a ‘real world’ approach and practical suggestions, his teachings are simple to translate into everyday practise.

Brett Johnson - Sales and Marketing Manager Focus Press

“Tony is a no nonsense down to earth communicator who can easily adapt to the audience - down & dirty through to professional & sophisticated - this is an art within itself & along with his clarity of thinking allows him to deliver training/consultancy that hits the money!

Matthew Semple - Franchisee - Harvey Norman Computer Store - Auburn

"The Harvey Norman computer store managers left Tony Gattari's presentation pumped! His raw enthusiasm and obvious credibility in the subject matter had made significant impact on their understanding of the profession they were in - SALES. There was no skepticism. There was no confusion. The simplicity in which Tony tackled the issue's of how to maximize each customers purchase potential meant all 183 managers had some tangible tools to take back to their businesses and drive their sales team's performance further. It was without doubt one of the more relevant presentations I've I heard on retail sales."

Luke Neale - CoFounder - Save On Bills

"Tony Gattari is a passionate and experience speaker who has imparted life and insight into our franchise network. His personal approach to business is refreshing and unlike many he speaks from personal experience. He has the ability to appeal to all personality types and brings out the best without the 'cookie cutter' approach. Highly recommended!"

Matthew Denehy - Founder - Eagle Insurance

"I engaged Tony to speak at an industry conference as i have been listening to Tony speak on a business CD and he was very impressive with his thoughts. He engaged the audience very well with his true life stories about how he built Harvey Norman's computer division and how he helps over 100 businesses continue to succeed. I am listening to his business mastery CD series at the moment and his teaching's are very real and pertanent to every business."

John Watkins- Founder and CEO of Biocycle

“Tony was employed by us to get a stronger bond with fellow workers. To bring together the Sales Team and the Administration Team. His style of delivery was fresh exciting and filled with energy. He is by far the best presenter that we have had”

Linda Austin - Proprietor Computers and Communication - Harvey Norman Kawana Waters

"The impact on staff was dramatic to say the least. Tony Gattari was invited to Speak to the staff at Harvey Norman Kawana Waters. The purpose of this was to refocus and adjust thinking of all staff. The workshop Tony used was The Winning Attitude. The impact on staff was dramatic to say the least. I have witnessed an immediate change in motivation, attitude and general improvement in performance. The impact of the messages Tony gave reached many in different ways. This has made my progress with the staff more efficient and effective, as their thinking has been cleared for new progress. Many staff asked to be put onto Tony's email so they can continue to be in touch with his ongoing messaging of development. The staff were very keen to know when we are having the next training workshop. Many thanks Tony for your positive injection. We all gained so much."

Simon Parnell - Store proprietor - Harvey Norman Innisfail

"One member of staff has almost overnight started achieving 20+% gross profit and is looking for ways to take it to 21/22%." I can honestly say that 3 weeks down the track I still hear the staff commenting on how they have used the training information to resolve a situation or make a very profitable sale. One member of staff has almost overnight started achieving 20+% gross profit the last 3 weeks and is looking for ways to take it to 21-22%. We now know it's the little things that make a difference and your training helped us to see that sometimes we over look the little things in search of that bigger prize. To finish, a true story. We've all heard of those thankyou cards that we should send to important customers. We've all heard it but do we do it??? So I decided this time to actually try the thank you card idea. After one of my staff sold an $8000 Plasma TV I decided to send the card to the customer. About a week later the lady returned to the store and was that touched by the card she purchased a laptop from us with extras. We are now going on to produce our own thank you cards using a digital camera and a photo of all the staff which not only says thanks but advertises what you can do with digital imaging ...THE LITTLE THINGS!!!"

Tony Christian - Director & Chief Executive Australia - Herbert Insurance Group

"Just a brief note to say how much I enjoyed your presentation, and also your book and the CD. We have actually incorporated many of your themes into our Marketing Strategy which we had already been working on and they ALL fitted in very easily & were well received by the sales staff – and myself."

Paul Bernhardt - Proprietor Computers and Communication - Harvey Norman Balgowlah

"We are continuing to work with Achievers Group because we get results"
"Having been involved in many skills training and sales training programs from the world renowned Fortune Group to Tony Robbins and the like; Achievers Group has got it right!
The content of the programs is so customer centric that I was able to measure immediate success in our environment. Being customer specific all the modules we have completed have motivated and invigorated our team simply because it's in their language and every one of the staff from the new recruit to the old hardened veterans related comfortably to Tony's message. We are continuing to work with Achievers Group because we get results.I would recommend the program to any business that is smart enough to get smarter!"

Geoff van der Vegt - Proprietor Computers and Communication - Harvey Norman Bundall

"The passion and enthusiasm of Tony towards his work rubs off on the audience. Harvey Norman Bundall have had two presentations from Tony and thoroughly enjoyed both. The passion and enthusiasm of Tony towards his work rubs off on the audience. Tony's down to earth and simple language approach enables his presentation to be easily understood and integrated into the work environment. After the presentations we saw a notable change in our staff toward the sales process and in their personal confidence. I recommend Tony to anyone looking for an energy boost for their staff and business."
 

Oxana Brovchenko - Sales Executive - Focus Press Pty Ltd

"I couldn’t help but notice that this workshop is not for everyone, perhaps because not everyone is ready to change even if for the better. But if people are looking for the tools to quickly and considerably improve their game and to start working smarter rather then harder, they should definitely try this. And to those people that will, I say: beware, this course is not a miracle pill for all your problems, no course ever is, but it will teach you to keep your bearings and to gain the momentum when other fouler."

Mark Birch - Proprietor - Harvey Norman Hoppers Crossing

"In summary, you have a special ability of being able to talk the talk as you have already walked the walk in your own life which is a very powerful and effective gift indeed"

Simon Gibb - Hardware Manager - Harvey Norman Auburn Superstore

"I found it a very energizing, invigorating, refreshing session, and so did the team. Several sales staff measurably improved their personal best results in the days immediately following Tony's presentation"

Troy Thomas - Computer Proprietor - Domayne Liverpool

"Since Tony's training 2 weeks ago we have been able to increase our gross profit by an extra 2-3 % which is great and just proves the impact Tony's enthusiasm brings. Tony's sales training was great. I questioned all the staff the next morning as to their thoughts and they were all very impressed. He has so much energy and enthusiasm it certainly keeps them interested for the full time. All of my staff said they got a lot from his presentation and even some of the guys who thought they were pretty hot sales people got a lot from it. Even after the sales training was over all of the computer staff stayed back for about 1/2 hour just chatting and asking questions which Tony was more than happy to answer. Since Tony's training we have been able to increase our gross profit by an extra 2 - 3 % which is great and just proves the impact his enthusiasm brings. I will certainly have Tony back and I would recommend Tony to anyone who is considering getting him to do some training at their store."
 

Malcolm Freeby - Manager- Residential Services, Teen Challenge NSW inc

"Tony's impact on our organisation has been astounding. It is with great delight that I recommend Mr Tony Gattari.

These men have come from a variety of backgrounds but all share the common fight to overcome substance abuse and other addictive behaviours. Tony's impact on our organisation has been astounding. A very busy businessman, Tony finds the time to visit our Chester Hill campus regularly, imparting his knowledge from the corporate world. Our students value the time and effort that Tony extends to them. They enjoy his presentation style and the quality of the information presented to them. Tony has also helped our organisation obtain work experience placements with major retail companies for our completing students and actively assists with strategies and contacts that have aided our fund raising efforts. We anticipate phenomenal success for Tony and Achievers Group."

It has been such a privilege to walk with one, whose motivation exceeds the boundaries of 'self', whose voice resounds with truth and integrity."

Tim Edwards - General Manager - Space Furniture

"Tony is down to earth and people respond to that well. The staff was fascinated by the "real life" angle Tony uses. They thought it was honest and insightful. Some of it was back to basics- and that is good some times- you too easily loose sight of the basics! The Attitude seminar was by far the one with the most impact. Most of the staff that attended referred to it for several days after. Tony is down to earth and people respond to that well. The ability to tailor the programs slightly to hit some of my company's core issue is very attractive now, and in the future."

David Cullen - CEO - White International

Jeremy Rae - Owner - The Good Guys Warrnambool
