"…even though business is great, now I know why! We were already doing some of the things to build our goodwill but never realised the value of having our own 'brand'."

Launceston Central City Service Excellence Awards Launch
After experiencing a wide range of keynote speakers over the past twenty five years, I was refreshed to witness a presentation that captured the audience’s attention while challenging them individually to look at their own business principles and review their day to day operations.
The feedback I have been receiving from Rick’s Effective Naturally presentation is strong and supportive of his no nonsense style and delivery. Rick provides a realistic, witty and sometimes confronting commentary.
Our members were impressed, not only with the ideas Rick put forward for their business, but also with the passion of his presentation. It was great to hear that a number of these small business owners will change the way they market and operate their business as a result of Rick’s address.
Effective Naturally took them along on a journey to review their businesses, presented with humour, candid comments and practical information on how to provide value added service and increase business opportunities.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rick to anyone considering his presentation whether in a workshop situation or as a keynote presenter.
Yours sincerely,
Karen Stallard

Judges Comments, Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Professional Leader of the Year Award
“The Customer Operations division (the largest within Vodafone Australia) engages Coyote Special Events for every key event undertaken within Tasmania. Their experience, collaborative approach and enthusiasm mean that every event and activity is undertaken in a rock solid and professional manner. The key determinant for engaging Coyote is our relationship with the team, in particular the Director Rick Marton. Rick always delivers above and beyond the event specifications and is always relentless in seeking ways to improve and enhance the customer experience. Rick is quick to align all event activities with Vodafone’s unique brand essence and works hard to deliver to our global event guidelines. Rick also has an excellent understanding of our budget challenges and provides realistic and targeted solutions based on this.”
Karren Tol, Vodafone

"The world is changing all around us. To continue to thrive as a
business over the next ten years and beyond, we must look ahead,
understand the trends and forces that will shape our business in the
future and move swiftly to prepare for what's to come. We must get
ready for tomorrow today."

"The more we as an organisation realise that brand perception is the
responsibility of all, the better placed we will be to improve on it.
That is why I am so pleased with the emergence of our still developing
customer engagement strategy. At the risk of fixating on the negative
experiences (which remain a minority), we are being forced to lift up
your voices and experiences and showcase them to the entire
organisation. My colleagues are realising that every decision made
impacts brand."
