Inner Circle at the Palazzo - Wednesday, August 1, 2007 - A night to remember

It was my first time coming out to the inner circle gatherings and I must say I was very glad to have been there. I made very important connections and am feeling very optomistic about my prospects in business.

The Palazzo hotel served as an excellent venue and gave a real sense of class and credibility to the procedings. Well done to the hospitality team at the hotel and my compliments especially to the chef. The canape`s were delicious, and the wine made the evening even more convivial.

My heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the Palazzo.

Regards
Tumisho Masha

To everyone involved in the INNER Circle Palazzo event - 31 July

Thank you for a great evening. "It is said that work can be more fun than fun" and that is our goal when we work with innovation. However you certainly achieved that. The event had a great "buzz" a positive atmosphere condisive to collaboration and I think the venue had a lot to do with it. From the tea and coffee set out out before the event, to the fantastic spread afterwards. Food is normally consumed and not remembered. But the presentation, variety, qualtiy and presentation in this case will be something I remember. Thank you for contributing to making work such fun.

Hi Trevor

A truly awesome meeting! I met and have already followed up with several great contacts. The variety of business owners and scope of work in the room was incredible. It is such a tonic to attend a networking meeting that creates such energy and enthusiasm to do business! Great venue, friendly efficient staff and the canapés and wine made networking very easy! I have already phoned the Palazzo for a quote on a breakfast event I am running for a client. Thank you for a fun and productive evening.

Hi Trevor,

I think that was one of the first times you ever went over the allotted time frame. I just wish we had at least 1 more hour to listen to the various things that people do for a living. A big crowd and yet well controlled with a great atmosphere. Some people do ramble on a bit though. I won’t mention any names, (john reilley) haha, but a productive evening. My client from MAS marketing loved it by the way. She does a similar thing to me with regards to corporate gifts but I believe it is all about sharing our wealth of knowledge with no expectations for giving a lead. After all you will be rewarded in numerous other ways. For instance being a member of INNER Circle for one. I must just mention the food. OUTSTANDING is one word that comes to mind. I cannot wait for the next INNER Circle meeting.

I must say that I am not coming to any more meetings for the business side. I will just wait for everyone in the food tent. Wow. A few words that come to mind regarding the food I ate. Attractive, Scrumptious, Expensive, Taste like more. Experience. Yummy Chocolates. It is not good having such awesome food afterwards because I was trying to talk business in there and they say you should not talk with your mouth full. Well clearly I hardly spoke. I actually got into trouble with my wife for not eating my dinner when I got home. I believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Well it was a free dinner. Anyway, great food and wines. A friendly smile from a waiter, who is not expecting a tip, is always welcomed. Very good service. That little bit extra that makes such a big difference. I did go to the restaurant to check out the menu. My wife and I will definitely be coming for dinner at the Palazzo. Thank you for that.

Warm regards

Hello Trevor

I am so snowed under I can’t turn. I have decided to cut down on the meetings that I attend, as I am not coping with my work. But the meetings at the Palazzo Hotel is one that I will not sacrifice and will not miss for anything. I am continuously amazed at the quality of business people I meet at this specific INNER Circle meeting. It is powerful networking and I am reaping the benefits on a daily basis. I am not even connecting with anyone who attends these meetings, as they are doing it for me. So slowly, well not quite so slowly any more, but surely I am heading for my R1m. Will most certainly celebrate it at the Palazzo.

And we really need to take the time to thank the management and staff of the Palazzo Hotel. The wine (okay, Appletiser) and canapés and the rest of the spread that they provide for us seems to be getting better and better. A big round of applause and a thank you, Palazzo Hotel.

And Trevor and all the other INNER Circle hosts, I look forward to us going ationally. See you at the next INNER Circle, Palazzo meeting!!!!!

Charlotte Rossi

It is not often that one finds themselves in a room filled with inspiring individuals. I would like to thank the INNER Circle and all involved for giving me that experience, additionally at such a splendid venue.

It really was a blessing to have come across such a forum and most certainly was worth my time to have dragged my feet to come listen to what you stand for. I look forward to a healthy business journey with everyone I've had the opportunity to meet. A warm thank you to all from the "Soweto Guy" - as you would prefer to name me.

I found the Palazzo meeting exceptionally informative and professional. I thought that the venue was great, the food and comfort of the heat on such a cold evening, as well as the service exceptional. It was truly worth while sitting in the traffic for 50 minutes and I will definitely be attending the Palazzo meetings regularly.

Well done to all.

Hi Trevor,

Being my first INNER Circle meeting I didn’t know quite what to expect. But as I walked into the Palazzo I immediately knew I was in for something special. The staff all knew exactly where the meeting was held and I was ushered through the magnificent lobby with a smile. The networking session set my mind a-buzz with the opportunities that are at our fingertips. Something else that was at our fingertips were the incredible canapés and delightful wines - compliments to the chef and kitchen. In all this was an eye opening experience for me and I look forward to many more exhilarating sessions at the Palazzo.

Kind regards,

Hi Trevor,

I just wanted to forward this note I sent to the folks at Palazzo.

To an Outstanding Team:

Last night was only my second visit to The Palazzo at Monte Casino. Both occasions… Very Impressive. The atmosphere, food and service were definitely superior to other hotels of your stature. During my international travels, I have frequented several top quality establishments, some for overnight stays, others such as last night for meetings and seminars.

I especially appreciated the attention to detail by your serving staff in the lounge that our INNER Circle Group occupied. They were not just polite and efficient, but very friendly and helpful as well. They definitely know “A smile goes a long way”.

Thank you again for an excellent ambiance that was perfect for the business that transpired. In the future, if I can suggest accommodation or venue for an event to a colleague or friend, I will definitely recommend the Palazzo Monte Casino.

Kind regards,

Hi Trevor,

The Palazzo INNER Circle meeting takes the entire networking experience to a higher level. There is no other that has been able to give as great, diverse and stimulating contacts. It is fantastic to hear the buzz, witness the enthusiasm and feel the relaxed ambiance at the same time as members netwok and socialise at the same time.

The wines and snacks complemented this pleasant atmosphere making it possible for the most up tight to relax and open up.

Must say, the interest in community development work shown by the various initiatives introduced also confirms that THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Thanks to the INNER Circle organisers especially Trevor's input. The determination, tenacity and will is encouraging.

Hi Trevor,

Regardless of my disastrous introduction for my company speech... I always enjoy coming to the 'Palazzo' and being with such dynamic people.

I love the upmarket feeling of this hotel and the catering and presentation is superb!

The selection of wines is always well thought out and very much to everyone's taste. Although, I prefer, Black Label Whisky and soda.

Well done as always,

Kind Regards,

Dear Mark, Roger and Debra,

Last night was my first experience of INNER Circle, and it was such a fantastic experience.

It was not however, My first experience of the Palazzo Hotel, as I have stayed in your beautiful establishment on many an occasion. It's nice to know that some things never change. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the hospitality shown by
the Palazzo Hotel. I have not stopped talking about it all day. From the service I received from the waiter in the meeting room, to the exquisite display of food and drinks after the meeting. The level of professionalism shown by the staff, and the unbelievable calibre of food, presentation (Those prawns - Oh my Gosh), and service was honestly second-to-none. To Debra- I have never seen such a beautiful spread- you must know, that you are fantastic at your job.

I thank you all for your Hospitality, and I look forward to the next Palazzo Meeting.

Yours Sincerely,

Michelle Simpson
