2012 - Recent testimonials from AU & NZ Business Owners
Below
is some very warm & encouraging feedback from Picture
Framing Business owners around Australia and New Zealand,
whom I've had the pleasure of working with:
"I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, it was very well
delivered with many good tips and practical ideas that I
can immediately and easily implement in our shop. Definitely
well worth attending."
Arthur Fajardo, Art & Framing, Auckland New Zealand
"My staff all had a positive experience
and are talking about the night very positively and are
telling me examples of when they have implemented components
of the presentation.
That in itself is encouraging for me as
some of those people have been doing it for 20 years and for
you to have empowered them is fantastic as is demonstrates
they don’t know it all and are open to improvement."
Glenn Vardy – Frames Now, VIC Australia
"Recently we attended two of Jared’s presentations while he
was in New Zealand. His enthusiasm and humour during his
presentations were very timely and just the ticket
considering the effects of the GFC. Jared’s marketing
strategies were just the catalyst we needed to continue
re-engineering our business. Some of these initiatives are
been implemented immediately. The whole day was very
enjoyable."
Ian and Cheri Hayes - Portico Gallery, Rotorua, New Zealand.
"Jared Davis is an expert. A delightful,
inspiring, passionate picture framing expert. Over the last
5 years we have been fortunate to have listened to a variety
of Jared's talks and had him conduct sales training for our
staff. We have implemented many of his sales and marketing
strategies and the results have been
sensational...benefiting both our customers and our bottom
line. Jared's passion for picture framing and people
combines the best elements of our industry and he has
definitely been instrumental in helping us take our business
to the next level."

Fantastic Testimonial from
Artery Framers in Hobart, Tasmania
"Just wanted to put on the record my
sincere appreciation for the training day you conducted for
the Artery framing staff recently.
They were abuzz for several days
afterwards and I believe you have given them sales &
marketing ideas and techniques which will last them a
lifetime.
I first was exposed to the “Jared Magic”
at the Sydney Framing Exhibition in 2007 and your enthusiasm
and zest have always resonated with me. Why wouldn’t I pay
for your services to be delivered to my staff, it’s money in
the bank.
Young Mathew, who was in training as a
framer for all of 4 months when you delivered your training
course, was cock a hoop when he made a sale of $6,000 for
seven antiquarian maps two weeks later. The net result - a
staff member who was so enthused we had to hose him down,
other staff members who revelled in his success and a great
bottom line!
I hate the cliché but it was a win win
win win – staff member totally hyped, a team happy for his
success, an employer loving the bottom line and happy staff,
and Jared's reputation in our industry continuing to soar.
Once again many thanks."
Roy Leeman, Director
Artery Framers - Hobart Tasmania
