WHAT USERS SAY ABOUT THE GAZELLES PROGRAM
Steve McKean "Gazelles’ two biggest value-adds for CEOs are providing a scalable management structure from zero to $100 million and vetting the business concepts and learning we need to grow our businesses. It is stressful to see more information being produced than can be consumed, so curating all the new ideas and authors, as you do, is huge for us."

- Steve McKean, CEO, Acceller

Skip Keaton "One of my mentors introduced your book "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits" to me a little over 5 years ago and we really used it as a blueprint for the foundation of our success. And what success Quickparts has had! We use most of the tools that you discuss from daily huddles to a one-page strategic plan. A large part of what we do and the success we have had comes from your 147 pages. So this is my small thank you for a great book!".

- Skip Keaton | Director of Sales and Service, On Demand Parts®
3D Systems Corporation

Dan Rogers "It took some floundering to navigate the path of attempting to apply the Habits by ourselves but we then signed up for a Rockefeller Habits workshop and started working with your coach Ron Huntington. The results have been completely as expected – phenomenal. As a result of our success, I now actually have the time to work on my business (and myself). Thanks to Gazelles for being a huge part of our success at P2P!".

- Dan Rogers, President/CEO, Point to Point Transportation Services, Inc.

Dwight Cooper "I spoke to a group of CEOs and told them they needed to attend a Rockefeller Habits workshop and if they did not love it I would pay for their attendance!".

- Dwight Cooper, CEO PPR Healthcare Staffing

Gene C. Towle "I was very excited to…find out that the Gazelles [coaching] program is available in Spanish in Mexico. Our primary market, housing, is in a serious crisis. [Your team] did a spectacular job in helping our companyget back on track using the methodology of the Rockefeller Habits workshop."

- Gene C. Towle, Managing Partner, Softec

Bill Becker Recordsforce has been using Gazelles for a year and a half and we love it! It has made an amazing difference for me as CEO to have a real methodology for running my business.

- Bill Becker, President
Recordsforce

Henry McGovern "Gazelles delivers more value for the $ than anyone else in the business!"

- Henry McGovern, Chairman and CEO, AmRest (WSE: EAT)

Tony Petrucciani "Several of the management techniques (our daily “adrenaline” meetings and weekly management meetings) that we implemented over the years helped us get to a much better valuation than we would have otherwise."

- Tony Petrucciani, CEO, Single Source Systems, Inc

Mellie Cline "I am a realtor. Your website and blog are like crack. I started reading your book this morning on the treadmill. When I got home and went to sign up for the weekly email I discovered the treasure trove of various pdfs and other material online and spent the rest of the morning exploring. Holy cow! I finally managed to pull myself away, but it took a lot of discipline. I've been looking forward to reading your book, but I can see I'm going to enjoy it even more than anticipated."

- Mellie Cline, Allie Beth Allman & Associates, Dallas, TX

Jeff Booth "Learning the Rockefeller Habits is the single best thing we have done as a company. It has led to complete company alignment, faster learning and numerous breakthroughs. More importantly, the process has allowed us to thrive despite being in an industry that has fallen almost 70% in the last number of years. I consider it a must for any leadership team looking to grow its business."

- Jeff Booth, CEO, BuildDirect

I was in a YEO forum with a guy who took his company from $7 million to $40 million, eventually selling to Raytheon for $40 million. After hearing his repeated references to Verne Harnish, I finally attended the Rockefeller Habits seminar. I honestly believe that without ever going, I'd still be running a mom and pop operation and probably hating my job--begging someone to buy me out!

- Scott Nash, CEO, MOM’S Organic Market

I have worked with Verne since 1999 and seen our revenues grow from $6 million to $50 million for 2010. We’ve also expanded across North America and Asia.
Each time I personally hear Verne, I come away with 1-2 great ideas and 3-4 ideas that I can walk back and immediately apply in my business. Multiply that times the other team members coming and you can imagine the value!

- Fred Crosetto, CEO, AMMEX

Phil Miner We will never miss a Growth Summit again! The lost opportunity costs are simply too great.

- Phil Miner, Chairman, Miner Holding Co.

Greg Krasnov We are now the market leader in our main loan product, and we are growing rapidly, taking market share in other retail loan products and retail deposits, and actively pursuing acquisitions. I think that using Rockefeller Habits was absolutely THE key factor in our ability to achieve this. It is an incredibly powerful system, whose simplicity makes it possible to communicate our strategic plans and progress to each person in our now 1,600-strong employee body. If you want real results, forget a Harvard MBA and spend a few days with Verne! I know of no other strategic management system that is better.

- Greg Krasnov, CEO, Platinum Bank

Bill Saint We are a luxury homebuilder in Charlotte, N.C. that has adopted many of the principles in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits and wanted to pass along our gratitude for helping us grow and thrive. The era of the mega-mansion is over, and we heard loud and clear that our buyers wanted incredible luxury, but in the right size and price. Our Island Collection, introduced in only 8 months, was all possible due to intense focus by our entire team.

- Bill Saint, President & CEO, Classica Homes

Verne’s recent Rockefeller Habit’s presentation to the SF Bay Young Presidents’ Organization was a success! While many business resources focus on theory, Verne delivers practical tools, which can immediately impact corporate results. Verne’s fast paced, entertaining presentation style enabled him to cover the Rockefeller Habits while customizing the program on the fly in order to address burning issues on our CEOs’ minds. Verne’s very high rating for this event is simply par for the course for the Growth Guy.

- Zack Stenger, Education Chair, SF Bay – Young Presidents’ Organization

Craig Falk Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is the best management book I’ve read. I love its concise format and practical advice on how to grow your company. I use the One Page Strategic Plan with my team every year to set our course as a company. I read the book for the first time three years ago and I re-read it frequently. "

- Craig Falk, Owner, Craig Cares
