Testimonials

“Every so often in one’s career there is one of those WOW moments – one of those defining moments where all of the lights seem to be their brightest and what was once complex and murky suddenly becomes acutely clear. Sometimes it’s a great book, an event or series of events that irreversibly changes one’s perspective or perhaps an inspired individual who challenges us to stretch.

I can say with great pride and gratitude that I met a man who embodies all of these attributes and capabilities. His body of work, his ability to connect, engage and inspire and his world class presentation skills have had a game changing impact on many including myself. Ron Kaufman is that man and he is building a great business dedicated to making a genuine difference in the world.

As CEO of a business in transformation, I initially retained Ron to work with our entire team and found his insights and presentation skills so accessible and inspiring that we made a decision to build our 2013 overseas conference program around him, bringing his UP! Your Service principles, models and approach to life for hundreds of our customers.

Ron’s body of work will help any large organization: 1) think differently about service; 2) create new, well defined, intentional and measurable actions to deliver UNBELIEVABLE service; and 3) substantially improve its service culture.

Ron’s approach breaks down walls, builds bridges and enables new muscle memory to take shape at all times anchored to his principles of Uplifting Service. The impact Ron had on our organization was palpable. It was not just experienced internally between departments, but by our clients and business partners.

Ron is an absolute pro, a great listener and one of the most engaging public speakers one could ever have the pleasure of working with!!”

Pete Walther

CEO, Profinvest

“Ron joined us at our annual Beeline Customer Conference to share his incredible message and experience surrounding Customer Service cultures. Ron is one of the most dynamic, engaging and motivating presenters I have seen. Our team is using many of his concepts and practices to continually improve our Customer Service model. Ron is a must see!”

Mike Wachholz

Global President, Pontoon Management Systems

“I recently had the pleasure of hearing Ron speak on Uplifting Service to the leadership of our organization. It was the best author/speaker I have ever heard and we’ve had a nunber of them come into our company. It was truly inspiring and motivating to say the least. The passion and energy he has for Uplifting Service is contagious and I walked away committed to implementing the principals he shared with us.”
