Subject: Thank You

Hi Beverly, I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you again for class yesterday.  It was without a doubt the most informative, in depth and comprehensive seminar I’ve ever attended. 

I told my wife (Kristiana), that Beverly had my attention from go and she never lost it.  Lily and I were mentally exhausted from hanging on every word you spoke.  The materials you provided was worth more than the fee you charged; it’s gold!! J 

I’ll contact your secretary and schedule an appointment to go over your communication needs we discussed in class. 

Thank you again for the wonderful class and I look forward to working with you as a student and a client of Anderson Productions.

 Take Care,

Comments (General)

Just a super event!
Facility was very cold
Best ever! Congratulations!
It was clear that many details were well planned. Jan & committee were superb
Registration online poor ‐ not able to pay
Outstanding!
Timing of service needs improvement: speakers wer served nearly last
First time attendee but I will be back
WOW! So glad I participated!
Jan ‐ you're totally awesome!!!
This was the best ‐ kudos to all involved!
PayPal was a problem
PayPal didn't care for. Had issues with it wanting to charge more
Beverly was outstanding. Nice facility, but venue was very cold and meal service was so‐so. Food
was fair.
Loved the banquet! Lots of hard work & it showed in how WELL it came off!
Excellent! Best Yet!

Comments (Leadership Seminar)
Early comments were a bit discouraging. Glad we got to some positives
Seminar felt more like a CEU class on psychology than a lead‐in for the Power Your Dreams
banquet. We covered male/female psyche but not a bit about achievign ind goals.
Good topic for another meeting ‐ not so relevant for this one. Love Dr. Laura & she is very
knowledgeable. I just didn't get the boost I was looking for.
I'd prefer a bit more interaction & less lecture for a workshop
Wonderful! Exceeded my expectations! Beautifully done!
Too negative, not very inspiring
Climate ‐ a little cold
Very informative and enjoyable seminar
Table was pretty confusing & hard to see the board. Seminar very cold
Wasn't able to attend ‐ heard positive feedback

Beverly,

 I wanted to thank you for connecting me with Barbara (BB Movers) who introduce me to Evelyn who I just hired as an independent contractor to help me enter my rates in the military freight website.  She seem like she know her work and I am hoping that I can start moving some of their freight. 

 Thanks again, I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Subject: Follow up from Veteran's Conference

 Good morning, Beverly!

 I was so pleased to see you at the National Veterans Conference.  It was only a few years ago when I first met you at your Riverside workshop, and the inspiring words from that workshop had a real positive affect on me.   I was able to lead my company’s management and marketing, as I shared with you, to the next level and experienced some major successes – especially in the federal market.  What a huge leap for us!  Now, we are looking to expand even more, hoping these challenging economic times don’t preclude us from doing so.

As you are local to us here in Los Angeles county, it would be great to get together with you when time permits.  Let me know when you might have time for this!

Hope your evening reception for Veterans went well!

Sincerely,
Sandy

Good Morning Mrs. Kuykendall,

I was a pleasure meeting you at the small business expo in Atlantic City.
The information you shared at your workshop was so valuable to me that I am currently restructuring my strategic plan to implement your strategy.

As a small business owner I attend many of the workshops given in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area, this was the first time I received information tangible enough that I wanted to put it to use immediately. I can't tell you how many business professionals told me not emphasize my minority status.
Mrs. Kuykendall you revealed to me how to leverage my status to get a greater return. Thank you.

If in the future you find a need for my construction services in the New Jersey/ Philadelphia area, please feel free to contact me directly .......

Hi Beverly,

I attended the Alliance Mid Atlantic Conference on Wednesday, and attended
your "Making Dollar and Sense of Small Business.." session.  I found your
energy contagious and your dialogue engaging.  I represent a large business
and agreed with your points.  I hope the small businesses that attended
your session will run with your 3 points ROI, Strategic Marketing Advantage
and Increm Increase in Market Share.  I have been leading up supplier
diversity at my company, for 7 years and a very small number of small
business know how to sell themselves.  I have coached many that have asked
why they were not chosen....which is rewarding in its own right, esp when
they stay in touch and share success stories.

I just wanted to introduce myself.  I am the Director of Supplier
Diversity, here at VWR International.  VWR is committed to contributing to
a sustainable competitive advantage in the markets we serve by integrating
minority, women, veteran owned, disabled-owned, 8A, Labor Surplus and
HUBZone businesses into our strategic sourcing process and providing these
businesses with a solid foundation for building capacity to capture
significant growth opportunities.

Best regards,

Jennifer D. Gaines

Dear Ms. Kuykendall,

  I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule and sharing your knowledge with us yesterday.  As someone who is very new to the world of the federal government contract and solicitation process I learned a lot from your afternoon session about the process in the short time I was there.  Unfortunately, I had a matchmaking session before and immediately afterwards so I didn't get to sit through the entire session.  I know there is much more to learn and I wanted to ask you if it would be OK to reach out to you with any additional questions I may have?  I wish I could of thanked you personally unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to.  
  Also, I had one follow-up question you had mentioned something about a conference that takes place I think in CA which is geared towards government contracting officers and end users would you be able to give me the name of that conference again?  Is it a conference anyone can attend or do you have to be a government employee? 

  Please feel free to respond at your convenience.

  Yours very truly,  

Finny Varghese

Beverly:

On behalf of the Bridging Partnerships Planning Committee, we would like to thank you so much in helping make this year's event such an success!  We have heard nothing but outstanding comments from everyone who heard your presentation.  From our surveys of attendees, your presentation was rated the "best of the event" and, to many, the best they had ever heard!  We have heard that many people were disappointed that they were unable to attend your session, including myself who did not get the opportunity to meet you!

We are really hoping that you would consider returning next year for this event.  

Thank you again.
Susan C. Johnson
Bridging Partnerships


It was a pleasure to see you again as well Beverly!  Your presentation was EXCELLENT and your passion for the Small Business Program is crystal clear.  The survey results that received back for your session all scored at 5 out of 5!  A perfect score!  As we plan for the SB Symposium for 2007, I hope that you would consider being a speaker once again.  next year's event will NOT be on a Friday so we would expect a better attendance---normally we have about 600 attendees---with DOE choosing to hold the event this year on a Friday we had about half.  :(

Thanks again  and I look forward to our paths crossing again in the near future!

Bev:

Thank you for making the trip to Texas.  I know your time may have been better spent elsewhere, but we do appreciate your efforts.  I will be following up with Austin Community College and Central Texas College to better determine their diversity goals.  I will keep you in the loop as we uncover this information.


In the meantime, would you please contact Eddie Reyes at the
University of North Texas?  He is in charge of their HUB program and may be able to utilize our mentor-protege status.  FYI, we just secured a $130,000 project with UNT utilizing TCPN.

In the future, Russ Pierce and I plan to take a tiger team into UNT and present more or less the same message that we delivered today.  The difference will be that the audience will include administration, purchasing and facilities.  If Mr. Reyes can further our efforts, we would like to get him involved as well.  Once you talk to him, we can discuss whether you think this is a good account to pursue from a diversity standpoint.

Please call me with any questions or comments, and thanks in advance for your assistance.

Talk Soon,

Dear Beverly,

Thank you so veiy much for taking your time to be a speaker at Alliance Texas, June 29th at the Gaylord Texan Resort. Your participation was a true enhancement to our conference.  The extra time and effort you have put into your presentation is very much appreciated.  We know that it took time away from your own jobs, but it is much appreciated.

The conference was very well received. Preliminary feedback indicates that everyone who took the time gained more information than they could digest in one day. This is due, in no small part, to the efforts of our speakers.

Again, thank you for your taking time out to highlight information for small businesses that help us stay competitive.

SupaTech just received their first contract to supply product to the military.  It went thru the SBA and they signed the contract but we are dealing directly with the military group.  Beverly’s classes and workshops have been very valuable.

Thanks for all your help.  Have a great weekend.

Hi all,
I just wanted to let you all know that Beverly Kuykendall was absolutely sensational in her presentation at KTP VOBE last week.  We do not have fully compiled critiques yet but it’s our opinion that
Beverly will be the highest rated of all 16 sessions at VOBE.  The attendees in her session were glued to every word she spoke.  Just thought you’d like to know how well she represented Tremco and what an asset you have in her.
