Here’s what some of Elaine’s clients are saying:
“Elaine Allison was truly top notch. She was able to speak to our members’ specific customer service issues, starting from the landscape, and ending in actionable engagement our attendees could walk away with, and use immediately. Her willingness to customize her presentation for our industry, her professionalism and her outstanding materials made her a dream to work with. One member emailed us after the conference to request we provide ongoing online education “just like Elaine Allison’s conference topics.” We were very fortunate to have Elaine at our 2016 conference, and would highly recommend her to any conference planner looking for a standout speaker on customer service.”
Alison Cody
Executive Director
Manufacturers’ Agents Association for the Foodservice Industry (MAFSI)
“We worked with Elaine to develop “I can figure it out”, a 3 hour training workshop for our staff to help them develop new strategies to work with internal and external stakeholders. As the coordinator, working with Elaine was very easy! She was flexible with the scheduling of the needs assessment interviews and met all her deliverables by the timelines required. Overall, the training was well received and our staff appreciated and benefitted from the curriculum delivered, as well as Elaine’s credibility due to her wealth of experiences in various settings. We have limited funds annually to deliver professional development and we feel the return on investment was worth it!”
Maxine Dubuc
CATSA, Advisor – Service Delivery
“Elaine presented to our Group of Companies on “Improving Customer Experience”. She did a great job in talking to our people at all divisions to understand our group in order to prepare for the workshop. And it was bang on! The topics and techniques discussed and learned were met with a high level of satisfaction.”
Don McMillan

“After reading her book, we hired Elaine for our Small Business Week meeting. Our members commented on how much they had learned in just a short time to handle and resolve any customer issues. Our members want Elaine back.”
Gillian Kirk

“We were looking for a program custom-tailored to meet an elite group of high wealth individuals and companies. Elaine’s delivery was playfully interactive which proved to be entertaining so the focus of participants was on the information and not the clock on the wall.”
Jodie Rowe
Customer Service Manager
InterDel Aviation Services Inc.
“Our organizing committee was seeking out someone to motivate and create a positive learning experience to reinforce our ongoing internal Customer Experience initiative. We appreciated the time Elaine took to speak with various leaders and employees to finalize her ‘I Can Fix That’ presentation for approximately 800 of our staff. This resulted in the audience really connecting with her. Elaine is a great Keynote Speaker.
Tim O Brien
VP Supply Management & Corporate Services
