Testimonials

Some of the people who have seen it necessary to mention us in dispatches......

"Brian and I go back a long way to the early and heady days of the computer industry even before he was the State Manager of Olivetti. We not only formed a good professional working relationship, we formed a personal bond that exists today.

He came to work with me at a time when my businesses, Manaccom and John Trafford & Associates, were expanding interstate and I needed someone to take control and manage the day to day operation of the business as my role was totally consumed in marketing.

His experience, patience and dedication to the job was just what I needed and I can only say that his contribution to our success was enormous.

Our association has continued, both on a personal basis and in his activities with my current business, where he is involved in a portion of our marketing activities."

"A lot of times when I have a decision to make, I find myself stopping to think, What would Dad do?

It's as if he's right there with me, all the time guiding me, helping me to do what's best, just like he always has.

He's always been there for me and I want him to know How much I appreciate him and that I couldn't love him any more."

Sally Ballard, Daughter.
"I have known Brian for more than 25 years and in all that time I have felt he is a lot like me in his thinking. He concentrates on the marketing/sales aspect where I have been sales/engineering.

Brian speaks it as it is and pulls no punches, he writes in a language that you want to see and hear, he uses no jargon or corporate mumbo jumbo which is used by others to make you think they are so clever. And he is a giver, which is a great attraction to pure networkers. I believe everything he does has an appeal.

If you need a sales/marketing guy, look no further, you should call Brian NOW.

"It is with pleasure that I pen a few lines to recommend Brian Ballard who I have known for the past 16 years as a business associate, colleague and friend.

Brian was a Councellor and is an Associate Fellow of the Australian Marketing Institute (AFMAI) during the time when I was Deputy President of the Association in 1990 and 1991.

In 1999, Brian became a valued member of the Salisbury Chapter of BNI South Australia (taking the role of Chapter President) when I was the Director for South Australia. He then became an Assistant Director for us, supervising a number of Chapters.

I know Brian as a person of integrity. He is energetic and capable and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any position of trust.
