Testimonials
Rod Oram was great, he engaged the audience so quickly and presented them with information that they can utilise. The facts and figures he provided are exactly what our consultants need to be aware of when working with potential clients to get a better understanding of the current economic environment that they are selling in. We continue to receive extremely positive feedback from our consultants and business owners with regards to Rod's presentation, particularly the way he built on the information provided from the previous years.—The New Zealand Home Loan Company Ltd
Excellent as always. Rod provides valuable insight to our network about the state of the local and global economies. It's great having him back each year as he’s able to build on and reflect on what he told us last year. Loved his entrance on the bike!—New Zealand Home Loans
