Testimonials

Kevin Nall was managing our Freer location at the time he attended your first seminar with us. One of his major takeaways was “find your spot on the floor.”  Kevin has been doing it for 10 years and is now our Merchandise Manager. When I recently mentioned how he used your phrase “find your spot on the floor” he replied, “ I still do!”

Your teaching phrases and tools have stuck with us. Classic behaviors for building a good culture. Thank you, sir!

Matt Mullin, President & COO of Alamo Lumber Company

I want to give a shout out to Mr. Ken for being the guest speaker and enlightening our own hotel team throughout his stay. I am a bit jealous that your team was able to soak up such amazing and crucial awareness of what It takes from each of us individually to keep a company running for long term benefits.

Amanda Tijerina, Director of Sales of Hilton Garden Inn, Corpus Christi

Ken Wilbanks is an amazingly gifted individual. His byline of “Advisor, Educator and Coach” is a most fitting description of what he does better than most – yet it does not even begin to describe “who” Ken is. A man of stalwart character, Ken is deeply compassionate, giving graciously and abundantly to those in his community and life circle, committed to lifting up everyone he encounters, undergirding those willing to “walk the walk” to reach their fullest potential, and drawing out the best in each person and organization that has the good fortune of partnering with him in reshaping their future. I am proud to regard Ken as a great friend and brother and can never thank him enough for the positive influence he has had on my life.

David Wells, Founder of David Wells Consulting (Former Operations Manager for Goldsboro Building Supply)

Ken was the spark that ignited an organization to reach past its potential. And that fire still very much burns today. Thank you very much Ken for helping HPM get to the next level in its evolution. I am thankful for your influence in helping me grow as a human being and many others across HPM.

Jason Fujimoto, President and CEO of HPM Building Supply

Ken’s experience & wealth of knowledge of the building material industry has helped me work through multiple issues and different scenarios. It has been very helpful to talk things through with someone that understands what you are going through, because he has either gone through it himself, or has helped someone go through it already.

Brandon Seppala, Owner of Pohaki Lumber

I am certain that Ken’s ‘always positive energy’ is the main reason why folks like having him around their employees. He is a virus that kills complacency and motivates the soul.

Steve Veilleux, President of Maine Contractor Directory

Ken, thank you for your time last week. We left very uplifted with many ideas of how to change our operation and philosophy. We spent most of the 3 hour trip discussing what we have learned and ideas for implementing.

Jim McGrew, VP Sales of Suburban Lumber Company

Ken is a very dynamic individual and brings a lot of aggressiveness to the leadership/sales side of the business. Alexander Lumber got really good at being defensive with our strategies and frugal with our overhead. We have since begun to change our company’s vision to more of a proactive sales-driven model and we are starting to see positive growth not because of the economy but more so because of our habits. Ken is the reason we’ve seen success with this new model. I would not only recommend Ken Wilbanks for any facilitator position but also as a business consultant.

Josh Meillier, Owner/Sales Manager of Alexander Lumber

I say this sincerely: Your presentation at the WBMA conference was the best leadership presentation I have had the privilege of attending.

Peter MacMillan, of Dunn Lumber Company

It was a pleasure attending your course, the information we went over will be a huge help in improving what we do. This is the first course that I didn’t struggle to stay awake and left feeling good about what I learned. Thanks for all the help.

Tony Albert, of Simonson Lumber
