Brandon Badillo - Event Sales and Venue Specialist

"I had the pleasure of sitting through a brief, yet impactful seminar led by Adrienne at an Event Industry conference by Venuhub. I have been in the industry for over 20 years, with 12 of those specializing in selling events. I do consulting for mom and pop venues with an emphasis on sales and marketing techniques to better help them close more business. Although I consider myself an expert, I took a lot away from Ms. Gardner's class. She has a very common sensical and down to earth approach, which I love. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her and my only complaint was that her time to speak was not nearly long enough."

Jen Robinson - Director Special Events AEG

"As a seasoned sales professional I am always looking for ways to improve.  The session I attended with Adrienne at the Elevate Conference didn't disappoint.  Adrienne did a deep dive into how salespeople view potential customers and make assumptions that aren't always on point.  Her strategies allow for a more effective approach to selling and winning more business.  I highly recommend her training sessions."
