BOOKED for Lunch Testimonials

“BOOKED for Lunch was truly a pleasure to be part of. The listeners were deeply engaged and knowledgeable and it was so much fun to share some time together. As the author of We First, it's fair to say that it was a fantastic community experience that I would highly recommend.”

— Simon Mainwaring, Author, We First

“I was interviewed as part of the BOOKED for Lunch series for my book Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions. The program helped sell books to an audience on the other side of the world. And I didn't even need to leave my home.

It was so easy to take part in that I recommended we 'do it again sometime' and just a few weeks later I was back presenting to a new audience that was just as engaged and open to my message as the first time around.”

— Guy Kawasaki, Author, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions

“If you get the chance, don't hesitate to work with the Australian Businesswomen's Network to promote your book. I was a guest recently on their BOOKED For Lunch webinar series and not only did it result in a visible uptick in book sales, they were professional and fun to work with. Suzi and her team are consummate professionals and they work like a well-oiled machine.”

— Les McKeown, Author, Predictable Success

“BOOKED for Lunch is such a wonderfully run program. It's always a pleasure working with people that are both organised and passionate about bringing education to their community. I am asked to present online quite often and I can tell you that BOOKED is a program I would gladly do again”

— John Jantsch, Author, The Referral Engine

“I did an interview on BOOKED for Lunch about my new book, Power Friending: Demystifying Social Media to Grow Your Business. While my one-year-old son slept upstairs, I jumped on Skype in the comfort of my home in Toronto and engaged with a passionate and talented audience in Australia. It was a fantastic experience, organised, professional and beneficial for everyone involved.”

— Amber Mac, Author, Power Friending

“My co-author Brian Halligan and I had a rocking time presenting Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead on BOOKED for Lunch. The audience was engaged in real-time on Twitter and via chat, which made it like a live concert experience for us.

The event was flawlessly produced and hosted in an engaging style. I've presented at perhaps a hundred webinars and this was certainly at the top in all ways.”

— David Meerman Scott, Co-Author, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead

“BOOKED for Lunch seems to do everything right. The Australian Businesswomen's Network was a pleasure to deal with, kept their promises and asked thought-provoking questions. I'm a very busy dude, but I'd be back with them at the click of an email or the ring of a phone. I think the world owes them a debt of gratitude for the great work they're doing.”

— Jay Conrad Levinson, Co-Author, Guerilla Social Media Marketing

“I really enjoyed the opportunity to talk about my book Obliquity on BOOKED for Lunch. It was extraordinary to be able to engage in lively dialogue with people 10,000 miles away - and without leaving my desk.”

— John Kay, Author, Obliquity

“If you looked up 'professionalism' in Wikipedia, you'd see a photo of the BOOKED for Lunch team. Their attention to detail was only matched by their desire to help us reach our goals. They were exceptional in their enthusiasm and clear communication. The host, Suzi Dafnis, has a delightful combination of expertise and brilliant creativity. And their follow-through made the whole experience even richer.”

— Dr Robert Cialdini, Author, Influence and Yes!

“Being interviewed for the BOOKED For Lunch webinar series was a delightful experience for two reasons. First, the team is organised, efficient and friendly. They made getting ready for the webinar a breeze. And second, the impact of my webinar was very uplifting.

I saw numerous tweets from listeners after my interview that motivated me tremendously. Sure we like the publicity, but many of us do these type of interviews to help lots of people. It's easy to see that my BOOKED For Lunch webinar did exactly that.”

— Siimon Reynolds, Author, Why People Fail

“I was interviewed on BOOKED for Lunch to coincide with the launch of DRIVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.

I was in my home office in Washington, DC, the audience in Australia, yet the interaction, shared learning and pure engagement were as real as if the audience and I were face-to-face. The live Q&A brought the key areas of the book to life and allowed me to answer audience questions in a real-time and relevant way.

The interview supported the release of the book in an important marketplace. And I didn't have to leave my desk.”

— Daniel H. Pink, Author, Drive

“I just wanted to let you know this is THE BEST webinar I have ever been on. It was my first with you and now I'm sad it is the last for this year. Looking forward to next year now. Thanks.”

— Debbie Yeates, attended BOOKED for Lunch: Launch with Michael Stelzner

“The quality of the content that you offer, the speakers that you invite to webinars and the things that I have learnt since discovering your site is beyond anything that I have ever got from any other network.”

— Dean Atkins, Biz-X Business Explorers

“Thank you! What a fantastic forum for engaging online and sharing valuable information. The ABN webinars allow you to get close to the key influencers of marketing, social media and business related topics. I love the dialogue with like-minded people via live Twitter Feed and Suzi's professional, yet personable, presentation style.

I have learned so much from Michael Stelzner through his books, newsletters and blog and he seemed so easy to relate to. The formula Michael presented in the webinar inspired me to create a cartoon, which resulted in some great interaction after the webinar.”

— Irma Zimmermann, Tell IT Media, attended BOOKED for Lunch: Launch with Michael Stelzner

“You don't have to look outside Australia for an organisation that truly gets the power of webinars and delivers them at world-class levels, the Australian Businesswomen's Network (ABN) does just that. It is in a league of its own when it comes to delivering on what I call the Three Es of Webinars – Engaging, Educational and Entertaining.

The ABN understands that content is the key to a great Webinar, and it always delivers Webinars on topics that resonate and with speakers that are top notch from around the globe.”

— Todd Lewis, Citrix Online

“ABN has been a key lead generation vehicle, premier webinar partner and trusted marketing advisor to Citrix Online for a number of years to the point where ABN make recommendations to us for content, optimise each and every campaign for their audience and source and deliver incredible local and international speakers for the webinar programme that we sponsor with them.

No other partner in the APAC region goes to quite these extraordinary lengths to ensure that each and every campaign over-delivers on our expectations and I would recommend them to anyone looking to target a highly engaged and responsive business audience and looking for a strategic marketing partner who goes well above and beyond the norm.”

— James New, Marketing Manager, Asia Pacific, Citrix Online
