Hi Mike,
We had the BEST day ever. Thank you so much. I have told everyone about you and said that if 10 is perfect, you were 20!!!
I look forward to our next tour with you.

Garment Center Tour

Mike:

You were excellent.  The only way I can prove that to you is that you should expect at least one, possibly more people from our group to be signing up for your tours in the coming weeks.

Two things stand out to me regarding your presentation:

1)You provided clear and abundant information - in other words, you are definitely the expert on the garment district - you have great analytical skills (I loved listening to you talk about zoning changes and its effect on the shape of buildings in the area) and your comprehensive understanding of the legacy of the garment trade in the vicinity.

2)You hit all the points that were the theme of the weekend - many of the speakers did, but you were succinct in addressing what the area was and how it is changing due to increasing financial pressures of incrasing real estate values.  In a rediculously short period of time, you gave us exactly what we were looking for.

I was thinking of writing Barbara to thank her for connecting me with you, but I may call her instead to [emotively] express what a treat it was to have you as part of our weekend and to recommend you to any group like ours who find the Garment Industry such a fascinating place.

Again, thank you for your time with us,

Great Garment District Tour

Dear Michael,
The tour you gave today of the Garment District was great.  I appreciate the extra effort you made to make it special for us… The trip factory, the cutting floor, the sample sale.  You made the garment district “real” for me. 

Thank you for everything.  You have a wonderful talent for connecting with people.

Mike,
Some of the students commented that it was the best trip that they have gone
on.  All enjoyed the trip, including my colleague and I. It was a great
learning experience for all.

Thank you and I hope to book another trip with you in the future.
