Billy was superb! He combined his magic, humor and message to deliver an uplifting and thought-provoking keynote to all our attendees. He had our audience captivated and laughing not only at his wonderful message and humor but also at themselves. They left smiling and many stated that his message was “right on” and “hit the mark.” He received a rating of 9.8 with 10 being perfect!

The only word I can think of to describe Billy Riggs is “WOW!” He has the whole package. One minute he has you crying, the next minute laughing, and the magic is incredible. You leave believing you can accomplish anything! He did an amazing job with magic and inspiration and I am still getting rave reviews from agents all over the state [of California].

It’s been a tremendous pleasure to be able to write this thank you letter to you! All of those who turned in an evaluation form rated you a “firewall 5” out of a possible 5! To the best of my knowledge, this has never happened at our convention. To say you hit a bull’s eye with your presentation would be a gross understatement.
Roger Symonds

If you have not heard Billy Riggs, you have not heard the best inspirational speaker of our times.

I’ve never seen anyone get a standing ovation from a bunch of CEOs like you did! It’s certainly never happened at our convention before!

This may be the first testimonial letter I’ve written in 15 years of picking speakers for our national meetings (we do three a year). You absolutely nailed it for us! The audience (after a late night and long day) was with you every step of the way, and two curtain calls from 1000 people sums it all up.
Steve Millard
President
Idaho Hospital Association
Words cannot express how magnificent your presentation was! A standing ovation from 800 medical professionals says it all!
Tyler Pierson
Co-Founder
Untyed Networking Group
We’ve held 300+ meetings since I founded Untyed. Billy Riggs is by far the most entertaining, thought provoking and inspirational speaker we have ever had present to Untyed.
Amy Fox
Executive Assistant

I just wanted to write to let you know that based on our instant surveys you received a 4.94 out of 5, and that makes you the first SuperConference speaker to ever beat our CEO’s score (he’s quite a speaker) – and by a whole tenth of a point!
Pete Torpel
President

Absolutely entertaining, informative and uplifting!! I took much more away than just a program. You are such a talented man! After your session, we were all talking. We all agreed that yours was the best program we’ve had in the nine years we’ve been holding conventions. You should be playing in Vegas to huge crowds. THANKS!

I have studied about every speaker in this industry, and I cannot think of anyone who even comes close to Billy Riggs’ skills. He blew me away!

Fantastic! Right when I needed it. Couldn’t be better. I’ve trained thousands of speakers over the past 20 years, and I can be very critical. But you are bar-none the best speaker I’ve ever heard.

I saw you about 9 years ago and listened to your message. I was young and new to my sales career. You inspired me! Your message so impacted me that now I’m one of the top reps and full of confidence and energy!

Thought-provoking, entertaining, thoroughly customized to our needs… your program was pertinent and meaningful to our members. 95% of our attendees rated your presentation as “excellent” I think those are the highest evaluations in the history of our annual convention!
Eddie Grogan
President
Georgia Chapter of HCAOA (Home Care Association of America)
Mr. Riggs was awesome! Haven’t seen a motivational speaker that was spot on target with his audience in years and I attend approximately three conferences annually. I’m a little bit of an anomaly in that I not only own my private Home Care firm but also a temporary employment service serving central Georgia, a hospice and a fitness center. And I’m a practicing clinical pharmacist by training. Therefore, I’m at several conferences during the year. I feel I can speak from experience that Billy Riggs is, by far, the best.
Bill Blair
Executive Director
Missouri Jewelers Association
We just finished tabulating the surveys for the weekend — and the MJA members gave you one of the highest ratings we’ve ever experienced. We’ve been asking members to complete surveys for more than 20 years, and there is no question — there are always some who don’t believe that any presenter/entertainer deserves a rating of 5 (on a 1 is poor and 5 is excellent scale). So — when we have a presenter that receives a rating of 5 on nine out of every ten surveys and has an over-all average rating of 4.8, we are thrilled.

Captivating, informative and fun. The best thing I’ve seen in my whole entire life! I’ve been attending conferences for 30 years and hearing high-powered speakers. Billy Riggs is the best!

Incredible! Billy doesn’t just hold the audience in the palm of his hands, he grabs them, shakes them, spins them around, and sets them down in a new and better place.

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you! I am receiving fabulous feedback on your speech. The restaurant managers and operators truly found it motivating, inspiring and sizzling and once again you “ROCKED IT.” Looking forward to working with you in the future and I sure will share you amongst the other regions and colleagues. Hope to see you soon!
Garry Pincock
CEO

Terrific… very entertaining and motivational. Several of my key people who have been with me 8 or 9 years have sought me out to tell me that yours was the best program we’ve ever had at our conference. I’m not just blowing smoke—I agree with them!

Spectacular, awesome, extraordinary, entertaining, enlightening, grand are just a few of the words I would choose to describe your presentation at Southeastern University! Even though you came to us as a recommendation from our sister region, their words of praise still did not amount to what the live performance actually was.

The absolute best program I’ve ever seen.
Juanel Teague

During my 17 years in the speaking industry as a full-time speakers bureau…working with heavyweights, I’ve never seen so much talent rolled up into one person has I have with Billy Riggs. Billy has the ability to be as inspirational as Zig Ziglar, as insightful as Steven Covey and as entertaining as David Copperfield all at the same time. I don’t know anyone else in the speaking business who can be as entertaining, motivational and informative in one program.

I’m sure you hear it all the time but your presentation was fabulous. I got so much good feedback from so many people I lost count. We’ve had some good speakers but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard so many good things about any other presentation. I hope we can do it again in the future!

Billy just spoke at our national TES (The Entrepreneur Source) Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and was INCREDIBLE!
