| “Barry told a story of how he did it and not how you must do it. It was a breath of fresh air listening to a speaker talking through experience and not just theory! Barry went beyond just the guest speaker role. He spent time researching our company and the outcomes for our conference, very subtly and effectively getting this message across while telling his story in an amusing, entertaining and very informative way. Barry went way and beyond staying over with us and interacting with our clients as if he was one of the team……no BULL!” |

| Mike Walsh, Foodstuffs NZ New World Supermarket conference July 2007 |
"Throughout life you hear of great stories that have delivered success. Barry Bull has one of these stories. He recently presented his two-session workshop to a large group of independent retailers from New Zealand. Barry quickly connected with the audience and walked them through his ‘Roadmap to success’. His initial presentation was balanced with humour, music & sound business principles. Barry’s workshop on ‘The Bullseye Principle’ was in my view the winner. Read his book of the same name and draw your own conclusion however we do recommend taking advantage of both sessions."
