JOHN WADE

BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST

John is one of the most successful appointment setters and business engagement specialists in the country.

In John's opinion, ‘life is one long negotiation’ and Dale Carnegie’s books “How To Win Friends And Influence People” (first published in 1936) and “Stop Worrying And Start Living” (first published in 1948) have provided inspiration to him at all times.  He believes Mr Carnegie's messages are totally relevant today and that they are about delivering value to those who engage bringing the best outcomes and results come from taking a genuine interest in people, sharing knowledge and experiences without the expectation of anything in return.  The mantras about integrity, friendship, loyalty and the desire to serve others are crucial to John as he is a strong believer that with time, good karma will usually bring its own rewards.
