Martin's outstanding results with over 500 companies across 100 industries have made him Australia's most in-demand speaker on outstanding customer service. 



Martin studied psychology and marketing at the University of NSW and spent 4 years in sales and marketing with Colgate Palmolive before setting up his own communication business in 1085. His outstanding results with over 500 companies across 100 industries have made him Australia's most  in-demand speaker on outstanding customer service.
  

He has also worked with sportsmen up to international level in Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer, taking teams from losing to winning situations by teaching players the mental side of their game. Martin doesn't hype people up, he teaches techniques and how to apply them to your business in the areas of -

 

  •    professional attitude to business
  •   understanding the ego of your customer
  •   how to generate the repeat and referral business that keeps your bottom line healthy

 

One of Martin's strengths is his ability to customise his material to the needs and situation of an individual organisation. This is one of the strongest themes in many testimonials he receives as evidence of the success of his involvement in a conference or meeting.
 

Most importantly, Martin believes that entertainment is the best form of education and in his spare time he has written comedy.

 

His keynote presentations or workshops for smaller groups will make you laugh but it's the results you get from the techniques that will keep you smiling. 

 

WHY SHOULD I BOOK MARTIN:

 

The first and strongest reason to book Martin is that he gets great feedback from clients.

He brings great experience to your conference. Apart from his background in sales and marketing at Colgate Palmolive and a University degree in marketing, he has made over 1,500 paid presentations at business events like yours. He has worked with over 500 companies across over 100 industries so he will be able to customise his material to the needs of your people. And he will listen to your brief so that you have total control over the content of the presentation.

Martin will bring great humour to your conference or meeting. He has written comedy professionally and believes that entertainment is the best form of education. People hate being bored at conferences. People enjoy his presentations because they are light-hearted as well as being relevant. It is not just a barrage of meaningless one-liners, it is a carefully constructed use of humour to help the educational points hit home.

Martin is accessible and flexible. His presentation can fit into any part of your conference programme. If requested, Martin will advise you where in your specific agenda his presentation will deliver maximum impact. This will vary from event to event.  Naturally he is also happy to fit into an already established schedule.

He will give you his home number in case you need to call him any time to discuss anything relevant to your conference.

He offers twelve months' consultancy with every presentation. He will challenge your people to brainstorm their non-price value adds, and email them to him.  He will critique each participant's email and respond to each helping your people to have a stronger sales and marketing message. He will also provide articles for your newsletter and be accessible if people want his advice on anything to do with sales, marketing or customer service.

Basically, Martin will do everything possible to ensure that you achieve the best possible return on your investment.



Testimonials

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MARTIN ...

 

"Your presentations on Customer Service and Value Adding were relevant to the challenges facing our business and struck a chord with staff at all levels. It is refreshing to see a speaker who doesn’t take himself too seriously yet conveys a message which hits the mark. Your straightforward delivery style keeps the audience amused and attentive and is thought provoking at the same time.”

Craig Black, Dealer Principal, Black Toyota

 

Martin's message was powerful and far from rocket science, he used simple examples of how businesses can increase their profits and retain loyalty from their customers leading to constant repeat business. He demonstrated how we can make ourselves different from the rest; stand out from our competitors without discounting our service. I willingly commend Martin to any seminar or conference without hesitation."
Warren Prince, MFAA NSW/ACT State Councillor and Treasurer

 

The response from our customers confirmed that this year’s Aluminium Systems Conference was the best to date. In particular, your presentation was mentioned as the most practical and sensible that a guest speaker has delivered. After your presentation one of our customers asked if you were from within our industry as you spoke so confidently and credibly about specific issues that our customers face in their day to day business. The ability to customize and deliver a relevant presentation in your own animated and witty style, I believe, are the keys to your success."
Derek Tidey, National Sales and Marketing Manager, Aluminium Systems Pty Ltd

 

It is about twelve months since we first met and discussed our ongoing development programme for our lenders. From this first meeting your involvement and commitment to our cause has always been as part of our team and I have enjoyed working with you. Your professionalism, attention to detail, flexibility and accessibility certainly made you my ‘stress manager’. I knew with confidence there was one aspect of the programme I didn’t have to worry about. Martin, I suppose the strongest indicator of your success is the number of our regional teams who have requested you extend your presentations to other job families within their teams. To me this confirms the value you bring to the business.”
Keith Moyle, Executive Manager, Commonwealth Bank of Australia

 

“We are still receiving very positive emails, cards and faxes from our members who attended our Hamilton Island conference earlier this month. It seems your presentation really struck a chord with our members. The time you spent researching our industry and the critical issues confronting our members certainly contributed to the success of both your presentation and our conference programme.”
Colin Pocklington, Managing Director, Nationwide Jewellers

 

Martin Grunstein addressed our National Dealer Conference.  Our conference was an outstanding success and Martin's session was rated the highest out of all conference sessions. Our industry is characterised by increased competition, downward price pressure and shrinking margins and this formed part of our brief to Martin. He provided practical, hands-on and take away value that our Dealers raved about. Plus many have contacted Martin since the conference to get his assistance with their customer communications, a service Martin offered as part of his fee. Martin is an outstanding conference speaker.
Philip Hayes, General Manager - Business Sales, Telstra Business Systems
