INNER Circle PALAZZO Testimonials 22 to 32

Testimonial 22

Gavin Cooper writes:

Dear Trevor,

Again thanks for an incredible meeting last night at Palazzo! Incredible to see how the numbers coming in to this meeting are mounting. The number of my personal acquaintances deriving value here is truly inspiring. Palazzo is doing GREAT job and with the number of "quality" prospects attending these functions I trust that they will all give Palazzo a HUGE punt! I know that I certainly will be doing so.

Were we to ever become involved in the Hotel's Training, Palazzo could look forward to a "value for money" deal in return!

Hi Trevor,

I have to say the INNER Circle meeting I attended at The PALAZZO last evening was the best thus far. The meeting was well planned and orchestrated and the after meeting drinks and snacks was again superb, Mark Sawkins and his team excelled themselves there is little doubt that this must be top Hotel in the group. I look forward to bringing my own associates here in the future.

Hi Trevor,
INNER Circle events at the Palazzo continue to inspire and exceed my expectations. The benefits go beyond networking opportunities to include business development in all its forms and effective marketing. Synergy is created by multiplying the collective contributions of high calibre, knowledgeable experienced business people who see the value in cooperation and selling through relationships. The Palazzo is a great venue for the meeting itself but more importantly the fantastic
complimentary food and wine afterwards leads to focused and effective networking in a relaxed environment.
Thanks

Hi Trevor,

Once again the Palazzo INNER Circle meeting was fantastic. The opportunity at these events astounds me! Just this morning I referred one of your guests to an associate re a property valued at FORTY MILLION RAND. Wow! To Mark and his team, a big THANKS. From my perspective the Palazzo is the perfect venue for this type of high quality business networking. Since the last meeting, I have had a number of business meetings on the Palazzo deck and not only has the quality of the venue created an ideal setting, but the awesome service has created a precedent for the business going forward, so thanks again.

Dear Mark,

I attended the Palazzo Inner Circle meeting for the first time last night and would like to congratulate you and your staff on fantastic facilities, great service and superb canapés and wine.

To be honest, I hadn’t considered Palazzo as a business venue until yesterday, a misconception that has now been rectified. I will certainly by using Palazzo as my central meeting venue when in the area from now on and will recommend it to others from now on.

Kind regards,

Dear Trevor

Thanks for a very interesting meeting last night. I have already set up a meeting with Allan Stewart for next week. Please extend my congratulations to the management and staff of the Palazzo Hotel for an outstanding catering job. I found a very high standard of staff and the quality of the canapés and wine was excellent. All in all for my first meeting I was highly impressed.

Best Regards

Trevor,
Thank you for yet again facilitating an awesome evening of business networking. Since getting serious about growing my business and using the INNER Circle as a forum to meet like minded business people I have done my best to attend as many as I can. Every time I attend these meetings I am reminded of how futile any excuse not to be at them would be. I have made really good contacts and met great people of like ilk and look forward to meeting more and more… and business keeps growing and opportunities for developing JV’s and connecting to an even broader spread of business is constant. The Palazzo provides another dimension, what a fabulous host they are and that added advantage of having a peaceful and comfortable environment together with the fabulous gastronomic delights eased down with great wines whilst exchanging ideas and business cards after the session is unique. Thank you for your professional orchestration of the event.

Apart from enjoying the energy and goodwill, the Palazzo ambiance was an experience in itself. If Southern Sun could provide us with similar support in venue, style, service and quality in Cape Town, I am convinced we will position INNER Circle where it will be well supported by the business community in the Western Cape.

Dear Trevor and all others involved

I am SO pleased that I could make last night! What an inspiring experience, from beginning to end! As a “Capie”, this was my first experience of the Palazzo – what a gracious venue. The signposting was excellent, though the place is huge, and I did not know the area, I found the hotel, and convenient parking easily. The staff at the door were very helpful and courteous – personally showed me to the venue. So I was happy and felt good even before I walked into the venue.

The interesting mix of people, from a wide variety of businesses, all with positive vibes and interesting stories. Even where some people were “competitors” (mainly in the people development and event management fields) their approach was collaborative and open-minded, rather than defensive, and I was pleased to be able to talk to several people about possible synergies.

Although my programme for the week was already full, I did manage to fit in a – very interesting – discussion with Chris Dykes this afternoon. I have learned that if I come up again, I must leave space for follow-up meetings after attending an INNER Circle session. Luckily my partner, Lu-Marié is in Johannesburg, and several people have said they will follow up with her.

And then the highlight – the post-meeting! The excellent, decorative and beautifully presented eats, and “kuiering” with interesting people over great wines. I was really sorry that I had to get back to Pretoria, so had to leave early. Next time I will also plan better! There are still many other people with whom I want to follow up – but that can happen only once I get back to the Cape, as this week is FULL.

So sincere thanks to you and to our great hosts at the PALAZZO.

Regards and best wishes
